AN ACT CONCERNING THE EXPANSION OF AGING IN PLACE PROGRAMS.

SB 163 requires Connecticut's Department of Social Services to expand existing "aging in place" programs within available funding. These programs help seniors (typically 65+) stay in their homes or communities by providing services like home modifications, in-home care, and support networks. The bill directly affects seniors who might otherwise need costly nursing home care, aiming to reduce both state expenses and the personal burden of institutionalization. It does not create new programs but expands current ones to increase access for seniors seeking independent living.
