Common Questions

It’s common to see ourselves primarily as a partner, parent, child, sibling, grandchild, or friend, simply helping out. But, did you know that according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, caregivers are defined as family members, friends, or neighbors who assist someone with a chronic illness or disabling condition?

If this resonates with your experience, then you are indeed a caregiver and fulfill the most important requirements:

• You are currently caring for a child (18+), parent, friend or family member
• Your relative has a disability, long-term illness or other health condition that requires support
• You help your relative with errands, e.g. shopping, cooking or cleaning
• You help with bathing, dressing or personal hygiene
• You often help your relative with managing medical appointments or medication
• You often help with transportation or walking
• You provide emotional support and social activities

Yes, you may be eligible for compensation if you qualify as an Adult Foster Care provider. Eligible caregivers can earn up to $1,500 per month. Your compensation will depend on your state’s program requirements and the level of care needed. Get in touch with us to learn more.

If the person under your care is enrolled in a state Medicaid program (e.g. MassHealth in MA), you may qualify for Adult Foster Care. The best way to know whether you qualify is to give us a call, or complete an initial intake form.

And if the person you care for is not enrolled in a state Medicaid program, we offer free assistance to help them gain access to it.

No problem. If the person you care for is not enrolled in a state Medicaid program, we offer free assistance to help them get Medicaid.

You must meet the following requirements:

• Be 18+ years old

Adult Foster Care (name of the program in MA), also known as Adult Home Care, provides a personalized alternative to traditional residential care. It is designed for individuals who need supervision or assistance with daily activities such as bathing, personal hygiene, mobility, eating, and dressing.

These programs are identical, but they have different names in different states. They all offer the opportunity to receive financial and emotional support for giving care to friends and relatives at home. Other common names include Adult Family Living (AFL), the Caregiver Support Program, the Ohio Medicaid Passport, Monitored In Home Caregiving, and the Family Caregiver Support Program.

Adult Foster Care, funded by MassHealth (Medicaid), enables family members or friends to offer 24-hour care to eligible individuals within the comfort of their own homes. Caregivers receive tax-free compensation for their work in caring for family members or friends. This MassHealth-funded program is often the ideal option for adults who are unable to live independently but who wish to maintain the dignity and freedom that comes with staying in their own homes.

At Entyre Care, we assist caregivers with financial aid, personalized coaching, essential resources, and emotional support, helping you care for your loved ones more effectively, without neglecting your own financial and other needs.
