OVERVIEW
Caring for elders in Massachusetts
Since 2005, Caregiver Homes of Massachusetts’ community-based program has helped families provide high-quality, 24-hour care for elders at home. We help make it possible for a family member or friend to become the primary in-home caregiver by providing them with the support and financial assistance they need. In Massachusetts, our Structured Family Caregiving model is known as Enhanced Adult Foster Care.
