Connecticut Acquired Brain Injury Program
In-home support for individuals living with an acquired brain injury

Administered by CT DSS
For adults age 18+
Community-based support
What ABI Means
What is the Acquired Brain Injury Program?
Connecticut's Department of Social Services (DSS) administers the Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) Waiver Program, a Medicaid home and community-based services waiver that helps adults with a qualifying brain injury remain safely at home instead of in a nursing facility or other institutional setting.
Green Home Care is not affiliated with DSS. We work alongside individuals and families to provide in-home, non-medical care that complements the ABI Program and helps everyday life at home feel more steady and manageable.
Program eligibility, enrollment, and services are administered by Connecticut DSS, not Green Home Care.
Who May Qualify
Common ABI Program qualification factors include:
- The individual is age 18 to 64
- There is a documented acquired brain injury
- The individual meets a nursing-facility level of care requirement
- Income and asset limits set by DSS are met
- Services are accepted voluntarily
Final eligibility is confirmed by DSS through its official application and review process.
