Like many states, Connecticut faces challenges related to a growing elderly population and the high costs of living affecting many seniors who want to remain in their homes while receiving care.

In 2024, the legislature passed acts to support home-based care for seniors (PA-24-39) and improve the management and oversight of long-term care facilities (PA-24-141). Rep. Haines will continue to monitor the Aging Committee and inform her constituents of the work they are doing.
