The PCA Pilot Program provides home care assistance for individuals over the age of 65 who meet eligibility criteria with the CT Department of Social Services. The Pilot Program is funded by the State of Connecticut for up to 250 individuals.

PCAs provide assistance with activities of daily living for individuals with severe disabilities who would not be able to live at home without the assistance of the program.



Personal assistance includes hands-on activities and tasks such as bathing, dressing, eating, transfers and other personal care. The consumers are able to make their own choices about the people they will hire to provide the assistance they need.

Consumers in the PCA programs receive training and assistance from Allied on becoming a household employer. Allied staff travel to the consumer's home and provide training on recruiting, hiring, training and supervising personal care assistants. Allied assists in filing all of the necessary IRS applications and paperwork. Allied recruits PCAs statewide and maintains a registry of PCAs which is updated monthly and used for recruiting purposes.
