KeepMeHome is proud to participate in the Adult Family Living (AFL) program—a supportive service that enables a family member, close friend, or another qualified individual to provide 24-hour, live-in care for up to three loved ones. In return, caregivers receive a nontaxable weekly payment, with the amount varying based on the level of care provided. This program helps recognize and support the essential work caregivers are already doing every day, allowing them to be fairly compensated while keeping their loved ones safe and comfortable at home.
