Adult Foster Care of the North Shore

Adult Foster Care of the North Shore AFCNS supports homes for people age 16 and older who need daily assistance and personal care. There is always someone on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Exceptional Support and Solutions for Both Caregivers and Clients

Adult Foster Care provides secure private homes and supportive caregivers for adults with disabilities or chronic illnesses. Many Adult Foster Care (AFC) clients are already living with a parent, child or other family member who qualifies as a caregiver. Other clients are placed in homes with diligent and compassionate AFC caregivers. If you are an adult with a disability or know of a disabled adult in need of care, AFC may be able to help. Our experienced team of nurses and care managers will assess your needs to see if you or someone you know qualifies for this innovative MassHealth program. Financial Support

Adult Foster Care is a MassHealth-funded program that provides a tax-free daily stipend to the caregiver. Health & Social Support

Our staff members become an extension to the clients' and caregivers' families. Clients and caregivers are assigned a nurse and care manager who visit the homes regularly. Staff members can answer questions about health issues, and serve as a resource for medical training, education and needed interventions. Family Support

At Adult Foster Care, we provide a foundation to maintain existing relationships. We help our clients navigate the complexities of living with a disability. General Resource Support

Seasoned nurses and care managers work to identify vital resources for the client. These can include:

-Adult Day Health Programs
-Specialized work and community support programs for those with developmental delays
-Mental health counselors
-Guardianship and health care proxy information
-Transportation services
-Information about other adult foster cares in different locations

Get in touch with us, we would love to discuss the program more with you!

Today, we pause to honor and remember the lives lost and forever changed on September 11, 2001. We reflect on the courage of first responders, the resilience of survivors, and the unity that brought people together in the face of tragedy.

Let us take a moment to remember those we lost, support those who continue to be affected, and commit ourselves to kindness, compassion, and hope for a better future.

PSA: texting, phone and email scams are on the rise again in Massachusetts!
Don’t click on any links and don’t share any information! Text and email scams can look very legitimate. NEVER provide account information or send any money. DO NOT use the information in the email or text to call or get in touch with the “person or agency” they are claiming to be.
DO look up the number yourself on the official website to any agency or bank and call them directly.
