2005 Connecticut Code - Sec. 8-119d. Declaration of policy.

      Sec. 8-119d. Declaration of policy. It is found and declared that there is a growing segment of the older population who, because of increasing age, infirmity and other functional limitations, are not able to perform all personal and household functions associated with complete independent living. Most of these people do not require the extent of care or supervision provided in a nursing home or other care institution. However, many of them do have need for specially designed housing and living environments that provide the supportive services necessary to remain semi-independent in a residential setting. It is further found and declared that congregate housing is one solution to meeting this need for specialized housing and services.
