What is Group Adult Foster Care?

Group Adult Foster Care (GAFC) helps older adults and people with disabilities stay safe and healthy in their own homes. Care is provided by a caregiver, often a family member or friend, who visits every day or on a regular basis to help with bathing, dressing, meals, and other daily tasks. Caregivers receive support from VITRA Health.

Each client is assigned a nurse who helps create a care plan based on their needs. A case manager works with the client and caregiver, helps connect them to services, and answers questions along the way. Bilingual services are available.
