Cape Abilities’ Adult Family Care (AFC) is an approved medically based Mass Health funded program. We  have 24-hour home care in a personalized setting. We serve both older people and adults with medical needs. They cannot live alone. The program also supports people with developmental disabilities (DD). They have medical, physical or cognitive challenges that make it hard to live alone.

AFC lets people who have chronic health needs maintain their dignity. They can have satisfying life routines with help from a paid, trained, in-home family or non-family caregiver.

Shared Living is an important alternative to group homes. The Shared Living program matches adults with disabilities with families or people (providers) who want to share their home. Program supports people with:

• transportation
• community involvement
• activities of daily living like:
