What AFL Means
What is Adult Family Living?
Adult Family Living is a Medicaid-funded home care model that can allow an older adult to receive support where they feel most comfortable: at home. In many cases, a trusted family member or friend can serve as the caregiver.
Our role is to help you understand program expectations, required documentation, and what comes next so your family is not navigating it alone.
Who May Qualify
Common AFL qualification factors include:
- The person receiving care has Medicaid (Title 19)
- The person receiving care needs help with daily routines
- The caregiver lives in the same home as the loved one
- The caregiver is a trusted family member or friend
Final eligibility is confirmed through a full assessment and enrollment review.

FAQ
Frequently asked AFL questions
Who can be a caregiver in Adult Family Living?
A caregiver is often a trusted family member or friend who lives in the same home and can provide consistent day-to-day support.
Does my loved one need Medicaid to qualify?
AFL is typically tied to Medicaid (Title 19). Medicare alone is usually not enough for this program.
Is AFL only for nursing-level care situations?
Not always. Many families explore AFL when their loved one needs regular support with daily activities and wants to remain at home.
How does caregiver pay work?
Pay is based on approved care needs and plan details after eligibility and assessment steps are completed.
How long does it take to get started?
Timelines vary by documentation and review, but our team helps keep the process moving and updates your family at each step.
Can Green Home Care help even if we are unsure we qualify?
Yes. A quick conversation can clarify likely fit and help your family decide on next steps with less stress.
