Adult Foster Care provides residential setting services to adults with disabilities or chronic illnesses. Many Adult Foster Care (AFC) clients are already living with a parent, child or other family member who qualifies as a caregiver. In some situations clients could be placed in homes with diligent and compassionate AFC caregivers. If you are an individual with a disability or know of a disabled person in need of care, AFC may be able to help. Our experienced team of nurses and care managers will assess your needs to see if you or someone you know qualifies for this comprehensive MassHealth program.
Financial Support
Adult Foster Care is a MassHealth-funded program that provides a tax-free daily stipend to the caregiver.
Health & Social Support
Our staff members become a support to the clients’ and caregivers’ families. Clients and caregivers are assigned a nurse and care manager who visit them on regular basis.

There is available online inquiry to be answered by our multidisciplinary team.
