Narrative

Gives a supportive family setting for adults who, because of:

  • aging
  • medical
  • cognitive
  • emotional problems

they cannot safely live alone.

Caregivers provide personal care and medical treatment under supervision of Registered Nurse's and Social Worker's per Primary Care Doctor/Provider orders.

  • The Adult Family Care Program is available for those who need assistance with personal care. They want to live in the community with a host family rather than in a nursing home or other institutional setting.
  • A host family will provide you with a private room, meals, and help with activities such as:
  • dressing
  • bathing
  • meds management
  • rides to medical appointments

depending on your particular needs.

Being a member of your host family’s household gives you a chance to join in family activities and stay connected to your community.

Unpaid caregivers of an older adult or person with a disability may be able to get funding to pay for respite.

Respite funds can be used to:
•Pay someone of your choice to spend time with your loved one
•Buy a tablet, headphones, a comfort pet, or games to occupy your loved one
•Purchase memberships to clubs, gyms, or online programs
•Use in ways that are unique
