How Does Adult Foster Care Work?
All Care’s CARF-accredited AFC program is an alternative to nursing home or assisted living placement. In-home family caregivers provide meals, companionship, personal care assistance, and 24-hour supervision to program participants. Caregivers receive a tax-free stipend which can help to ease the financial burden of caring for the individual. The AFC program provides monthly nursing and care manager visits where both client and caregiver receive the support and resources they need to share a safe, happy, fulfilling life.
Caregivers are often family members, however, a prior relationship with the program participant is not required. Caregiver cannot be a spouse or legal guardian. Other program restrictions may apply.
