When it comes to finding the right care for an aging or medically fragile loved one, families in Massachusetts have several options to consider. One lesser-known but highly valuable choice is Adult Foster Care (AFC), a program that allows individuals to receive high-quality personal care in a home environment—often from someone they already know and trust.
Adult Foster Care is a MassHealth-funded program that provides daily assistance with personal care and case management services to adults who are unable to live alone safely due to medical, physical, or mental health conditions. Unlike nursing homes or assisted living facilities, AFC allows individuals to stay in the comfort of their own homes or with a caregiver.
Stay in a Familiar Environment: Clients receive care in a home rather than an institutional setting, promoting comfort and emotional well-being.
Personalized Support: Caregivers provide assistance with activities like bathing, dressing, meals, and mobility.
Financial Assistance: Caregivers, often family members, can receive monthly stipends from MassHealth for their services.
Professional Oversight: Nurses and care managers provide regular health assessments and support to ensure quality care.
To qualify for the AFC program, individuals must:
Be at least 16 years old
Be eligible for MassHealth (Standard or CommonHealth)
Require daily assistance with one or more activities of daily living (ADLs)
Live with a qualified caregiver (cannot be a spouse or legal guardian)
Once enrolled, the caregiver receives training and a monthly payment for providing daily personal care. Epic Nursing Services ensures that each family gets ongoing support from our dedicated nurses and care managers.
