Narrative

Adult home care or adult foster care (AFC) offers an alternative to residential care for members who require supervision or physical help with:

  • bathing
  • hygiene (ADLs)
  • walking
  • transferring
  • eating
  • dressing

Funded by MassHealth (Medicaid), Adult Foster Care allows a family member or friend to provide 24-hour care for qualified members in their own homes.

Caregivers receive a tax-free payment for their services, to help with the burden of care. Adult Foster Care services through MassHealth could be the answer for adults unable to live on their own. People like to retain the dignity and freedom of living at home.
