Narrative

For adults with medical, physical, or developmental disabilities (DD), staying at home is an important way to maintain independence and quality of life. Many times, family or friends give the care that makes this possible. Northeast Arc’s Adult Family Care (AFC) program provides support—in the form of pay and training. It lets these caregivers to give valuable support to loved ones and friends in their home.
