With the Adult Family Living (AFL) program, a family member can be paid to stay home and take care of their loved one. This can be a life changing service for individuals that have elderly, or disabled family members at home whose care needs can impact their ability to work. You can provide care for your loved one and not have to sacrifice your paycheck. Clients with our AFL program also have the support of a designated office member who provide weekly check-ins.
KeepMeHome participates in the Adult Family Living program.
