As part of an exciting new program with MassHealth, Mainstay is bringing added support services to the formerly homeless throughout Massachusetts. Mainstay is currently in need of a home health aide to visit with clients one-on-one to assist with activities of daily living, including light housekeeping, medication reminders, and companionship.
