What Is AFL?
Adult Family Living (AFL) is a program that helps elderly individuals (65 years old or older) remain living at home instead of relying on long-term care such as assisted living or nursing homes. This program enables family members or friends acting as a primary caregiver to get paid to care for a loved one in their own home.
Care at home, together: Family members or friends in the same household can receive weekly compensation while keeping loved ones age 65+ safe at home.
