Narrative

The Adult Foster Care (AFC) program is a Mass Health funded program. It consists of a member in need of care, a qualified live-in caregiver who receives a tax-free payment, and a qualified setting. The program offers nursing oversight and case-management support to keep members in their homes or in communities of their choosing.

AFC providers take a multidisciplinary team approach that includes the:

• AFC member
• the caregiver
• the registered nurse
• the case manager
• the primary care provider
• anyone of the member’s choosing

This team will come together to carefully develop a plan of care. It is centered around the member’s

• medical condition
• physical health
• emotional needs
• spiritual needs
• social needs

Our goal is to promote prevention, to encourage healthy living, and to reduce caregiver stress and burnout. We  promote and build strong communities.
