The Adult Foster Care (AFC) Program at CENTRO provides assistance to adults 16 years and older who, because of illness, weakness, disability, or advanced age, cannot live safely at home alone. This program is designed for those who require constant 24-hour monitoring and need a significant amount of daily assistance.
As an AFC member, you will live with your trained Caregiver, who can be a family member or a non-family member. The Caregiver will provide assistance, prompting, or supervision with bathing, dressing, toileting, transferring, ambulating/walking, and eating. The Caregiver will also provide transportation for medical appointments and be a good companion as well.
NO COST TO YOU. This is a service provided to members of MassHealth, at no cost to the members. Your Caregiver will receive a stipend of $28 per day for personal care services they provide to you for Level 1 or $57 per day for Level 2. You will not have to pay for your Caregiver.
