FAMILY MEMBERS PAID AS CAREGIVERS

Jessica Bessell, Neighbor

Caring for a family member is one of the most rewarding and difficult jobs with fi nancial impact as well as emotional stress. An alternative to placing relatives in nursing home care in Massachusetts is a program called Enhanced Adult Foster Care. This program is funded through state and federal funds and pays a family caregiver a daily stipend to take care of an aging relative or disabled individual at home, or pays non-family caregivers to provide this care. Caregiver Homes,
is a Massachusetts approved Enhanced Adult Foster care provider. Lunch will be pizza and salad for $2. Please call 508-336-8772 to sign up for lunch and the presentation!
