Home care in Massachusetts

An essential part of the health care continuum

Because of the availability of home care, many thousands of the Commonwealth’s older adults and people with disabilities are able to remain in their homes and communities, easing the burden on more intensive care settings like hospitals and nursing homes. 

The Betsy Lehman Center has partnered with home care organizations across the state to research the needs of this growing sector of health care, and provide resources to improve safety for both aides and consumers.
