VITRA Plus, Episode 2: What Is the Adult Foster Care (AFC) Program?

In our second episode of Vitra Plus Podcast , Krystal Troncoso breaks down one of the most valuable MassHealth benefits available to families in Massachusetts, one that many caregivers are missing simply because no one has told them about it.

If you’re caring for a loved one at home, this episode is for you.

What this episode covers:

  • What the Adult Foster Care (AFC) program is and who it’s designed for
  • Which MassHealth plans cover this benefit
  • Who can serve as a caregiver under the program
  • Why this financial benefit doesn’t affect your taxes or other assistance

But more importantly, we answer the questions families ask every day.

  • Does the person I care for qualify?
  • Do I have to be a family member to receive this benefit?
  • What does enrolling through Vitra Health actually look like?

If you’re already caring for someone and wondering whether support exists for your situation, this episode is a great place to start.

Listen below and see if this program could apply to your family.
