Adult Family Living, often called AFL, is a home and community-based service model that allows an eligible individual to live in a private home with a qualified caregiver who provides daily support, supervision, and assistance. For many families, AFL can help a loved one remain in a familiar home instead of moving to a more restrictive setting.
Aides & Companions helps families understand how AFL works and how it may fit into a broader care plan. Eligibility and approval are determined by the applicable program requirements and responsible agencies. Aides & Companions does not guarantee eligibility, approval, payment, or a specific level of service.
