What is Group Adult Foster Care (GAFC)?

Group Adult Foster Care (GAFC) is a MassHealth program that pays for personal care services for eligible seniors and adults with disabilities who live in GAFC-approved housing. Housing may be a GAFC-assisted living residence or other GAFC housing.

To qualify, residents must be eligible for MassHealth and need help with at least one daily personal care task such as bathing or dressing. GAFC only pays for the cost of personal care services and medication management when you live in approved housing. It does not pay housing costs.

What is Adult Foster Care (AFC)?

Adult Foster Care (AFC) is a program that provides in-home care and support for adults, particularly those with disabilities or chronic conditions, who cannot live independently, allowing them to live in a private home with a qualified caregiver.

To be eligible for Massachusetts’ Adult Foster Care (AFC) program, individuals must be at least 16 years old, unable to live independently due to a medical or cognitive condition, require assistance with daily living activities, and be eligible for MassHealth or able to pay privately
