Read the Vermont guide →Choices for Care (CFC) in Barre
Vermont's Choices for Care Medicaid program pays for in-home personal care for eligible seniors and adults with disabilities, and A&M is a certified CFC Home Care Provider. Barre has a strong tradition of family caring for family — under CFC, that same care can be paid, and we handle the training, certification, and paperwork.
Where we fit in the Barre healthcare network
Our clients in Barre typically also work with Central Vermont Medical Center just up the road in Berlin (five minutes from Barre), the UVM Health Network primary care practices in the Barre-Montpelier corridor, and the community health resources serving the granite-country neighborhoods. We are not a home health agency and we are not a case management agency — we're the personal care team that shows up several times a week for bathing, dressing, meals, and daily living support. If you're a hospital case manager, discharge planner, or Area Agency on Aging staffer, our referrals page has everything you need to send a Barre client our way.
