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. We provide on-call support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Our staff members become an extension to the clients’ and caregivers’ families. They provide opportunities and support for clients to participate in community activities, promoting social inclusion and enhancing their overall quality of life.
At AFCNS, we provide a foundation to maintain and improve existing relationships. We help our clients and their families navigate the complexities of living with a disability or illness.
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, mental health counseling, guardianship and health care proxy information, transportation services, information about other adult foster care programs outside our area.
AFCNS is a MassHealth-funded program that provides a tax-free, monthly stipend to the caregiver. Caregivers can receive up to $1,700 per month per client, depending on the level of care. In addition, clients may pay room and board.
