Frequently Asked Questions
Care Recipient FAQs
Structured Family Care (SFC) is a Georgia Medicaid-funded program that helps eligible patients remain safely at home while a qualified family member provides their daily care. The caregiver receives training, support, and financial support, while the patient benefits from consistent care at home instead of relying on a traditional home care agency or moving to a nursing facility.
YES! This program requires active Georgia Medicaid coverage. Medicare alone does not qualify. If you don’t have Medicaid but think you may be eligible, call (877) 423-4746 to apply by phone.
Yes! If you have Georgia Medicaid, you are eligible to apply.

Our Story
Freedom Adult Care was founded on a simple belief: no family should have to face the challenges of caring for a loved one alone.
Our founders saw firsthand the sacrifices families make while caring for aging or disabled parents—often while balancing jobs, raising children, and managing everyday responsibilities. They believed families deserved better support: compassionate care they could trust and guidance they could rely on.
What began as a family-driven mission in Columbus, Georgia has grown into a trusted care provider serving families across Georgia. For more than 21 years, Freedom Adult Care has helped families keep their loved ones safe, comfortable, and cared for at home.
While awards and recognition are meaningful, our greatest honor is the trust placed in us by the people we serve. Every member of the Freedom team shares the same commitment to compassion, dignity, and dependable care.
Today, our story continues with people just like you, those who want the very best for the ones they love.
At Freedom Adult Care, we are proud to walk beside you every step of the way. If you’re caring for a loved one at home, we’re here to help.
