Adult Foster Care of the North Shore

Individual and Family ServicesMassachusetts, United States11-50 Employees

Based in Gloucester, Massachusetts, Adult Foster Care of the North Shore operates within the individual and family services sector to place adults with disabilities or chronic illnesses into secure private homes with trained caregivers. The model often involves clients already living with a family member who serves as a caregiver, while others are matched with AFC caregivers who provide ongoing support. A team of nurses and care managers conducts needs assessments to determine eligibility for MassHealth’s Adult Foster Care program and coordinates appropriate services.

The organization provides financial support to caregivers through a MassHealth-funded, tax-free daily stipend, while in-home visits from nurses and care managers address health needs and offer ongoing guidance. It also offers family and general resource support, including access to adult day health programs, mental health counseling, guardianship information, transportation, and information about other AFC options. In January 2026, AFCNS announced that it had received a three-year accreditation from CARF International.
