What's a FCH?   A family care home is a private home that has been licensed to provide room, board, and some basic care services to up to 3 adults not related to the family.  FCHs provide care for adults who require some assistance, but also need love, companionship, and support.
Why choose a FCH?

Family care homes:

  • Provide personal care

  • Have a family atmosphere 

  • Are usually less expensive that assisted living or nursing home care

  • Are usually located in a regular neighborhood
