This option is not ideal based on several reasons mentioned in the article on the Housing Options homepage. Living with parents or other family members can be isolating, taxing on the caregivers, and leave adults with disabilities ill-equipped for what the future may hold. While this option is frowned upon, it is a common reality. There are ways to get Medicaid funding as a caregiver. Visit the How to Receive Financial Compensation via Medicaid to Provide Care for a Loved One page from the American Council on Aging to learn more. Also, be sure to check out our adult Medicaid waivers page for local contact information. We would like to direct you to article “Who Will Care for my Special Needs Adult Child?” from the Extra Mile of the Hartford. Here, you can find insights into why so many adults with disabilities are living with their parents after school age, which can help you become a better advocate for your child’s housing situation.
