Caring for a loved one with physical, mental, or medical needs can feel overwhelming. In Massachusetts, Personal Care Attendant (PCA) services available through the Group Adult Foster Care (GAFC) program offers a compassionate, home-based alternative to institutional care. Best of all, it’s fully covered by the state’s Medicaid program (MassHealth).
GAFC is a MassHealth-funded program that provides daily PCA services such as personal care and case management to eligible MassHealth receipients. This helps individuals maintain independence and improve their quality of life, all while receiving the support they need.
Participants in GAFC receive a wide range of support, including:
Personal Care Assistance – Help with bathing, grooming, dressing, and hygiene.
Medication Support – Reminders and assistance in following prescribed treatments.
Meal Preparation & Nutrition – Support with cooking and ensuring proper diet.
Household Help – Light cleaning, laundry, and maintaining a safe environment.
Case Management – A care manager ensures that all needs are met and services are coordinated.
