They wish to continue living an active lifestyle in the community. The AFC program allows people to enjoy the comforts and feeling of a private home with help from a paid family or non-family caregiver.

The AFC program provides nursing care management to support the family as well as the person. The registered nurse and case manager schedule regular home visits to monitor the placement.
