Narrative

Families aren’t 'one size fits all'. Neither is the support plan for caring for a loved one with a disability. Advocates takes this to heart. We partner with you to create a unique set of services that fits your family and your loved one’s needs. A strong, actively involved family is perhaps the most important element in helping people with disabilities (PwD) lead happy, healthy, and fulfilling lives.

We are here to support you. We offer full services including:

  • Adult Family Care (AFC)
  • Family Support Centers
  • Shared Living
  • Autism Alliance of Metrowest

Our Respite Options program provides families and other caregivers with temporary relief This allows for a much-needed break from the demands of caregiving.
