Transitional AFC

Transitional AFC is an assisted living facility in Fraser, MI, licensed as an adult foster care home serving adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The facility operates 24 hours a day with in-house nursing and provides both long-term and short-term residential care for individuals who cannot live independently due to medical or physical challenges. Care is structured around each resident's abilities, goals, and needs, and the home serves the Fraser area on Hayes Road.

Founded and managed by Violet Benford, MSN, RN, who has been a Registered Nurse since 2010, Transitional AFC is led by an executive director whose background shapes the facility's clinical approach. The team of trained personal assistants delivers person-centered support grounded in stated values of service, collaboration, integrity, inclusion, choice, and community. Residents receive assistance with personal care, supported daily living, behavioral support, crisis intervention, and life skill development. The home also coordinates community integration programs, transportation to medical appointments and local events, and ILS training covering personal hygiene and household management.

The facility sits on Hayes Road near East 13 Mile Road, about a third of a mile south, with East 14 Mile Road roughly three quarters of a mile beyond. Harrington Drain runs less than half a mile from the property, and Dr. Otis McKinley Park is within walking distance at half a mile. Mark Twain Elementary School is about 0.6 miles away, and James J. Pompo Park lies just over half a mile further east.

Transitional AFC distinguishes itself through its nursing leadership and its licensed adult foster care model, offering a level of in-house clinical oversight uncommon in small residential settings. The combination of 24-hour supervision, individualized planning, and on-site registered nurse direction makes it a specialized option for adults with complex needs in the Fraser area.
