Who Qualifies for Adult Foster Care?

Mass Care Link can help qualifying caregivers and those they care for.

IN THIS SECTION

Caregivers:

Do you care for a loved one or friend who can’t care for themselves? Feeling overwhelmed? Do you wish you could care for a loved one but wonder how you could afford to?

Does the friend or family member you care for:

  1. Have MassHealth?
  2. Live with you?
  3. Require supervision or physical assistance with at least one of the following daily activities: walking, bathing, dressing, toileting or getting up from or down to a chair, couch, bed, toilet or bath?

When your friend or loved one relies on you to help them get through their days and nights, you shouldn’t have to struggle to provide support. Learn how we help caregivers so they can keep helping.
