Narrative

Gives a supportive family setting for adults who, because of

• aging
• medical
• cognitive
• 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 Doctor/Provider orders.

• The Adult Family Care Program is available for those who need assistance with personal care. They 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 help with activities such as:
• dressing
• bathing
• meds management
• rides to medical appointments

depending on your particular needs.

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