Benefits and Eligibility in Massachusetts

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).

What Is GAFC?

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.
