What is Adult Foster Care (AFC)?

Adult Foster Care (AFC), is a program to help caregivers who care for frail elderly adults and adults with disabilities who cannot live alone safely. AFC adults live with trained paid caregivers who provide daily care. Caregivers may be family members or non-family members.

• The program is for adults who need daily help with personal care, but want to live in a family setting rather than in a nursing home or other facility.

• The caregiver provides meals, companionship, personal care assistance, and 24-hour supervision. Caregivers may be individuals, couples, or larger families.

• Caregivers could receive up to $18,000 per year from MassHealth to provide care to MassHealth members who otherwise would need institutional care.

• Service providers, including a social worker and registered nurse, train the caregiver and provide ongoing support.

What services do we provide?

• Careful screening and training of your caregiver family.

• Case management and service coordination.

• Periodic visits by social workers and registered nurses to monitor medical conditions, evaluate caregiver services, and offer support and training
