What does Adult Foster Care include?

Updated on: April 10th, 2019

Adult Foster Care provides an eligible MassHealth member with personal care and support from a qualified live-in caregiver, together with professional nursing oversight and care management.

Depending on the member’s assessed needs and plan of care, assistance may include bathing, dressing, toileting, transferring, mobility, eating, cueing, supervision, meal preparation, housekeeping, and laundry.

Mass Care Link supports enrolled members and caregivers with care planning, training, scheduled visits, and ongoing coordination. Learn more on our Adult Foster Care service page.

This information is general and educational. Services and authorization depend on current requirements, assessed needs, and the individual plan of care.
