As the demand for quality in-home support services grows, families across Worcester, Massachusetts are exploring care options that offer dignity, independence, and reliable daily assistance. Group Adult Foster Care (GAFC) has become one of the most trusted programs for adults who want to remain safely in their homes while receiving the support they need.

What Is Group Adult Foster Care?

GAFC is a community-based program that provides adults with chronic medical conditions or functional limitations the daily support necessary to live safely in their own home or shared living environment. From personal care to help with daily tasks, GAFC ensures participants maintain their independence while receiving essential care.

Why GAFC Matters in Worcester

Worcester is home to a diverse population with a growing need for long-term support services. GAFC plays a critical role by providing:

✔️ Personalized Care Plans

Every participant receives a tailored care plan based on their medical needs, mobility challenges, and daily living requirements.

✔️ Daily Support for Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)

This includes assistance with bathing, dressing, toileting, mobility, and medication reminders—helping participants stay safe and well.

✔️ Stronger Community Connections

GAFC helps Worcester residents age in place, remain engaged in their neighborhoods, and continue living with dignity.

✔️ Reduced Hospitalizations

Regular check-ins and support reduce health risks and prevent avoidable hospital or emergency room visits.

• Have difficulty completing ADLs independently
