Are you caring for a loved one full-time and feeling overwhelmed by the demands? What if you could receive financial support and access professional care assistance through an Adult Foster Care program to help you along the way?

Caring for an elderly or disabled family member is a rewarding but demanding role. It requires constant attention, energy, and often leaves little room for self-care or additional responsibilities. Many caregivers in Worcester County are unaware of programs that can ease the financial and emotional burden they face daily. EmpowerCare’s MassHealth Adult Foster Care (AFC) program is designed specifically to support caregivers by providing both a tax-free stipend and professional oversight, ensuring your loved one gets the best care possible while you are supported.

1. Program Overview: Financial and Professional Support for Caregivers

EmpowerCare’s Adult Foster Care program allows caregivers who live with and care for elderly or disabled individuals to receive a monthly tax-free stipend through MassHealth. This financial support compensates caregivers for their time and dedication, recognizing the crucial role they play in the well-being of their loved ones. Rather than navigating caregiving alone, EmpowerCare partners with caregivers to provide essential resources and professional assistance to ensure the best outcomes for both the patient and the caregiver.

The program is designed to relieve some of the stress caregivers experience by acknowledging their daily efforts and supporting them with the financial means to continue providing quality care at home.

2. Eligibility for MassHealth AFC: Could You Qualify?

Many caregivers are eligible for Adult Foster Care benefits but may not realize it. The program is open to those who live with their elderly or disabled loved one full-time, providing them with assistance in daily activities such as dressing, bathing, eating, and medication management. If you’re already providing this kind of 24/7 care, you may qualify for EmpowerCare’s AFC program through MassHealth.

This program is especially beneficial for family members who have put their careers on hold or reduced their work hours to care for their loved one. By enrolling, caregivers can receive much-needed financial relief while continuing to provide care in the comfort of home.
