Adult Family Care (AFC)
Cape Abilities’ Adult Family Care (AFC) is an approved medically based Mass Health funded program that provides 24-hour home care in a personalized setting for both elderly people and adults with medical needs who cannot live alone. The program additionally supports people with developmental disabilities who have medical, physical or cognitive challenges that make it difficult to live alone.
AFC allows people who have chronic health needs to maintain their dignity and pursue satisfying life routines with help from a paid, trained, in-home family or non-family caregiver.
