- Homemaking
- Shopping
- Personal care
- Meal preparation
- Laundry
- Housing Assistance
- Meals on Wheels
What Can I Expect When I Request Home Care Assistance?
There are certain criteria one must meet in order to qualify for state home care programs. Our experienced and helpful staff will answer your questions and guide you through the process. If you prefer you may complete our home care intake form online or download a faxable home care intake form.
SeniorCare’s Home Care Program is funded by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and a person must qualify for Home Care. To qualify you must be 60 years of age or older; a resident of Massachusetts, not live in a rest home, nursing facility, convalescent home, hospital, or assisted living residence, meet financial eligibility guidelines, and have been assessed by a care manager or nurse and found to be in need of assistance.
A sliding scale fee structure is available to those seniors over income, but otherwise eligible for services.
The Massachusetts Frail Elder Waiver (FEW) is a Home- and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waiver designed to make supports available to eligible frail elders aged 60 and older who meet the level of care for a nursing facility but prefer to remain in the community.

SeniorCare also offers several Wellness Programs to help people manage chronic diseases, maintain balance and prevent falls, or for healthy nutrition.
