Group Adult Foster Care (GAFC) is a vital MassHealth program designed to support elderly individuals and those with mental or physical disabilities who require assistance with their daily activities. At GIA Home Care Services, we’re committed to helping our clients navigate this program and receive the care they need in a group setting.

GAFC provides essential personal care services to individuals living in community or assisted living settings. The program is specifically tailored for:

• Assistance with ADLs (bathing, dressing, eating, mobility, etc.)

It’s important to note that while GAFC provides these crucial services, it does not cover room and board costs.
