Also consider house cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping and medication reminders. AFC staff members always make themselves available whenever you need assistance and speak English, Spanish and Creole fluently.

Testimonials
I decided to become a caregiver in my family setting. I’ve seen a lot of people who need a family. My goal is to make a person feel like part of a family.
Personal care attendants didn’t work out for our family. With AFC I can be home to spend time with my daughter.
Thanks to AFC, I can plan ahead and say how things are going to be. It’s an incredible feeling I haven’t had in a long time.
