Editorial Standards
Mass Care Link publishes educational resources to help Massachusetts families better understand Adult Foster Care, caregiving at home, MassHealth-related requirements, applications, and available support. Our goal is to provide information that is clear, useful, responsible, and grounded in reliable sources.
Our editorial commitment
Content published under the Mass Care Link Editorial Team is prepared and reviewed on behalf of Mass Care Link. This organizational author may reflect input from team members with experience in program operations, clinical services, compliance, caregiver support, and communications, as appropriate for the subject. It does not represent a single individual.
For more than 13 years, Mass Care Link has helped Massachusetts families navigate services and support for caring for loved ones at home. We use that organizational experience to identify common questions and explain complex topics in practical, accessible language.
How we research and review content
- We prioritize official sources, including MassHealth, Massachusetts regulations, and relevant government agencies, when discussing program requirements.
- We explain complex information in plain language while preserving important qualifications and limitations.
- We review statements about eligibility, caregiver approval, payment, and authorization to avoid guarantees or misleading conclusions.
- We link to original or authoritative sources when they would help readers verify information or learn more.
- We review and update content when we become aware of meaningful changes to requirements or published guidance.
Accuracy and corrections
We strive to keep our resources accurate and current. However, public program requirements, policies, and individual circumstances can change. Our website provides general educational information and does not replace individualized guidance from MassHealth, a healthcare professional, or another qualified advisor.
If you believe an article contains outdated or inaccurate information, please contact Mass Care Link so our team can review it.
Transparency and editorial independence
Our educational content is designed to help readers understand caregiving resources, public programs, and Adult Foster Care in Massachusetts. When content involves a sponsorship, partnership, paid promotion, or other material relationship, we aim to identify that relationship clearly and avoid implying an endorsement that does not exist.
