Narrative

Adult Family Care (AFC) is based on the idea that people thrive and grow to meet their highest potential for independent, fulfilled lives. They can have strong, ongoing personal relationships. They can join in community activities. They get care that matches their own needs and capabilities.

Adult Family Care is a residential option for people who cannot safely live alone. They don't require the level of support typical of group residences.

In 2007, regulations changed so that people who qualify for the Adult Family Care program may stay at home with their family members.  Family members give everyday care and support. People live in the privacy and comfor ot their home.

Other AFC adults may choose to move into the home of a host family.
