Choosing a long-term care facility is an important decision. Nursing homes, assisted living facilities and other care centers provide various levels of health care and living environments. In addition to deciding which facility is best suited for your loved one, it is important to learn about the options available to pay for that care.

Long-term care services can be expensive. Individuals may pay privately for those services, pay with existing long-term care insurance, or seek eligibility for public benefits to pay for care. Our attorneys are knowledgeable about long-term care planning and can help you understand what options may be available to you based on your assets and income. If appropriate and if done far enough in advance, we can advise you regarding pre-planning for long-term care, which can be an effective way to protect assets from having to be spent on care costs before becoming eligible for public benefits.

Our office does not directly help with Medicaid/MassHealth applications, but we are happy to get you connected with people who do, if appropriate.
