At Qualicare Connecticut Shoreline is delighted to provide non-medical home care services to their clients. We strive to provide our clients with a better class of home care—and that’s only possible with a better class of home care agency. One that approaches care from a holistic viewpoint. One that puts care in the hands of experienced local experts. One that provides care for not just one person, but for the entire family. Dressing & Grooming Our caregivers can provide a gentle helping hand when getting dressed or undressed, ensuring the comfort and safety of clients. We also offer help with grooming activities, such as brushing hair or shaving. Bathing, Toileting & Hygiene When clients require aid with bathing or toileting, our caregivers assist with these tasks, focusing on comfort, dignity, and safety. Our hygiene assistance services also include help with activities such as toothbrushing. Mobility & Transfer Assistance Many seniors struggle with limited mobility. With a hand from our caregivers, it’s much easier for our clients to retain their independence. From transferring assistance to fall prevention, we help our clients live safely at home. Medication Reminders Our caregivers make it easier to maintain your medication schedule by providing helpful reminders. This way, you don’t need to worry about a missed dose, even when juggling several prescriptions. Exercise Assistance At Qualicare, we know how important it is to stay active. Our personal care services make that easier for clients by assisting with physical exercises, providing encouragement and support as necessary. Grocery Shopping & Prescription Pickups Routine errands can prove difficult for many Qualicare clients, making it hard to shop for groceries or pick up prescriptions. Thankfully, our caregivers are happy to perform these tasks on our clients’ behalf. Meal Planning & Preparation As part of our personal care services, Qualicare can plan and prepare meals throughout the day. If you have specific dietary needs or concerns, we can plan your meals accordingly. Housekeeping & Laundry Limited strength, coordination, and mobility can make housekeeping tasks difficult or even dangerous for our clients. Our caregivers can help you maintain a tidy home, do the laundry, clean dishes, and perform other housekeeping tasks. Transportation Services Our transportation services help clients maintain their independence by providing rides to social outings, family events, appointments, and other commitments. These services include accommodations for individuals with mobility limitations or health concerns. Wellness Monitoring Wellness monitoring is a core feature of our personal care services. On a day-to-day basis, our caregivers are there to ensure our clients health and safety.

Given the high cost of in-home care, many people use one or more forms of financial assistance to cover the expenses. Below, we explain some of the most common sources of financial help for paying for in-home care. If none of these options are available to you, you can reach out to your Area Agency on Aging or Aging and Disability Resource Center to learn about local resources.
Home care services are only one of the pieces needed for seniors to gracefully age in place. There are many services and programs that are low-cost or free, that enable seniors to enjoy an independent lifestyle in the comfort of their own home, such as help with home modifications, meal delivery services, and more. Below, we’ve compiled a few of the most helpful resources in Shelton:
Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
---|---|---|---|
Connecticut Home Care Program for Elders | (800) 445-5394 | Department of Social Services, Community Options, 9th floor, 55 Farmington Avenue, Hartford, CT 06105 | CHCPE is a statewide resource run by the Department of Social Services through which Shelton seniors living at home can receive free or low-cost assistance with activities of daily living. To qualify, seniors must be at least 65 years old and require nursing-home level care. Participating seniors may receive services such as care management, home-delivered meals, homemaker services and assistive technologies. |
LifeBridge Community Services | (203) 752-9919 | 475 Clinton Avenue, Bridgeport, Connecticut 06605 | Through its Meals on Wheels program, LiveBridge Community Services provides home-delivered meals to seniors throughout Fairfield County. Monday through Friday, homebound seniors ages 60 and older can receive deliveries of nutritious meals including pureed and chopped foods to accommodate doctor-prescribed diets. Seniors should call or email seniorfoodservices@lifebridgect.org for more information. |
TEAM, Inc. Homemaking | (203) 538-5886 ext. 4225 | 54 Grove Street, Shelton, CT 06484 | Shelton seniors ages 60 and older may qualify for low-cost homemaking services including assistance with personal errands, shopping, housekeeping and laundry through the non-profit agency, TEAM. The Homemaking program suggests a contribution of $10 per hour, but seniors may be able to pay on a sliding scale or still receive services if funding is available. |
Circuit Breaker Tax Relief Program | (203) 924-1555 ext. 1501 | 54 Hill Street, First Floor, Shelton, CT 06484 | Connecticut state law includes a property tax credit program for homeowners who have a limited annual income and are either disabled or aged 65 and older. Credit amounts are determined by the local tax assessor, based on a sliding income scale and may total up to $1,000 for individuals and $1,250 for married couples. |
Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – often times it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.
If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.
