Narrative

Gives a supportive family setting for adults who, because of medical, cognitive, or emotional problems, cannot safely live alone. Caregivers provide personal care and medical treatment under supervision of Registered Nurse's and Social Worker's per Primary Care Physician/Provider orders.

• The Adult Family Care Program is available for those who need assistance with personal care and want to live in the community with a host family rather than in a nursing home or other institutional setting.
• A host family will provide you with a private room, meals, and assistance with activities such as dressing, bathing, medication management, and transportation to medical appointments, depending on your particular needs.

Being a member of your host family’s household gives you an opportunity to participate in family activities and stay connected to your community.
