To help you become more independent, our Home Care Program pairs you with a dedicated case manager who will work with you to coordinate a wide range of in-home services. These services are provided by a trained homemaker and include meal preparation, grocery shopping, medication pick-up, and light housekeeping.
General services do not include heavy chores, financial management, medication monitoring, childcare, or taking you to appointments (although a Home Care case manager can often assist you in finding such services).
Service disputes between you and your provider can be resolved by a Home Care case manager.
The provision of Home Care services are subject to available funding and dependent upon availability of resources and providers identified in the Service Plan. Eligible individuals will be prioritized for services according to the date they were deemed eligible.
You may be eligible for the Home Care Program services if you:
are between the age of 18 and 59,
have a disability that keeps you from doing one or more homemaking tasks,
need assistance with in-home tasks to keep you out of the hospital or out-of-home placement,
meet MassAbility and Home Care financial guidelines,
live alone, with children under 18, or with an adult who has a disability, and
are not receiving other Home Care services
Note: If you are legally blind, you are not eligible for the Home Care Program, but can sign up for eligibility-based services for the visually impaired.
