IMPORTANT COVID-19 UPDATE – HOME CARE FOR SENIORS

Essex County residents who are eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine can call (833) 469-0762 on weekdays between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. to schedule their first vaccination, which will take place at South Lawrence East Elementary School. Second rounds of vaccinations are scheduled while on-site.
During the COVID-19 crisis, families with a loved one in a nursing home can earn up to $1500 per month for taking care of them at home. Adult Foster Care of the North Shore is a MassHealth program. Our special COVID-19 team is working with families and nursing homes to expedite the process.
Call us at 978-281-2612 to talk about how to get started. We can answer questions and work towards the best solution for each family.

 

The AFCNS Difference

Adult Foster Care of the North Shore provides financial and emotional support solutions for families who are in need of care for a disabled or chronically ill loved one.

Our passion, commitment and dedication can be seen in every one of our employees. When a client and/or caregiver works with Adult Foster Care, they become part of our professional family and acquire a true support system that provides consistent guidance, support and advice.

"There was just no way our daughter was not going to live with us.
We knew having her at home would restrict us but there was no other option in our mind. When we found AFCNS, our lives changed. They provided us with a team of professionals that created a plan for today and for the future.
And with their program, we were able to take our first vacation alone.
They changed our lives."

~ Mary and Bob, Caregivers to Daughter

What's New

Adult Foster Care of the North Shore staffers Lori-ann Giamanco and Kelly Beer, RN, put together baskets of crafts and games to be distributed to AFCNS families throughout Essex County.
