Compassionate Care for Adults in Massachusetts
At A+ Adult Foster Care (AFC), we are committed to providing high-quality, personalized care for adults in Massachusetts who require assistance with daily living. Our AFC program offers a safe, supportive environment where individuals can receive the care they need in a comfortable, home-like setting. Whether you or your loved one is managing a chronic illness, a disability, or simply needs extra support as they age, A+ Adult Foster Care is here to help.
We believe that every person deserves to live with dignity and independence, and our program is designed to promote both. Our foster caregivers provide one-on-one care, ensuring that each participant’s physical, emotional, and social needs are met. By placing individuals in a caring family setting, we help create a more intimate and supportive environment than traditional institutional care, while maintaining a high standard of health and well-being.
