Support Connecticut Family Caregivers

Urge your lawmakers to support a caregiver tax credit.

Family caregivers are the backbone of care in Connecticut. More than 773,000 residents provide unpaid care to a loved one, nearly one in four adults across the state. Their dedication helps older adults and people with disabilities live safely at home, delaying or preventing the need for expensive nursing home care.

But caregivers are under tremendous financial, physical and emotional strain.

Lawmakers are considering proposals to create a caregiver tax credit, real financial relief that would help families afford the essentials their loved ones need. This support is long overdue, and your voice can make all the difference in pushing it forward.

Support Connecticut Family Caregivers with a tax credit
Dear Decision Maker,

I’m a constituent and I'm writing to urge you to support legislation creating a caregiver tax credit. Family caregivers are essential to helping older adults and people with disabilities remain safely at home and in doing so, we save the state significant money by delaying or preventing the need for nursing home care.

A caregiver tax credit is a simple, targeted way to support those who are already saving the state millions by preventing premature nursing home placement. I urge you to prioritize and pass this legislation this session. Thank you for supporting Connecticut families.

Thank you.
