Our Massachusetts Partners
We are proud to partner with MA DDS and the Massachusetts Lifespan Respite Coalition (MLRC) to help individuals and families find the caregiving support they need. Together, these partnerships help make caregiving more accessible, flexible, and family-centered throughout the Commonwealth.
Massachusetts Department of Developmental Services (MA DDS)
Our partnership provides DDS eligible individuals and families with a free 12-month subscription to RewardingWork.org—renewable each year. Our goal is to empower families to connect directly with qualified caregivers in their local communities.

Kind Words from Recent Job Seekers and Families
“
I received more than ten applications for caregivers within the first few days of posting a caregiver position on RewardingWork. I interviewed three, all amply qualified, and selected one with great references who I think will be ideal. You have a wonderful service.

We ended up hiring the first person we interviewed - but not until we had phone screenings with several people who looked promising.
The website was easy to use and we’d use it again.
