Adult family care  is a program that provides in-home support for individuals who need assistance with daily living activities. It offers a home-like setting, often within a family’s home, rather than a traditional institutional setting like a nursing home.

Key features of adult family care:

  • Home-like environment: Individuals live with a caregiver in a family setting, providing a more personalized and comfortable experience.
  • Personalized care: Caregivers tailor their support to meet the specific needs of each individual, ensuring they receive the appropriate level of assistance.
  • Community-based: Adult family care allows individuals to remain in their communities, maintaining connections with friends and family.
  • Financial support: In many cases, programs provide financial assistance to caregivers to help offset the costs of providing care.

Individuals who may benefit from adult family care include:

  • Adults with disabilities  
  • Seniors who require assistance with daily living activities 
  • Individuals who are recovering from illness or injury
