MassHealth and Medicaid Attorney Karen A. McSherry

Medicaid, or MassHealth as it is known in Massachusetts is a form of welfare that pays for long-term care when your other resources are depleted.  Early and proper planning are the first steps to ensure that you are protected from losing everything to a nursing home.

Nursing home care can cost over $10,000 per month.  Long-term care insurance can be too expensive for most people.  Consequently, a person needing nursing home care must apply for MassHealth to help pay for it.

Even when a loved one is in a nursing home, there is still some planning that can be done.  The rules for qualifying for MassHealth are complex and ever-changing. No one should navigate the MassHealth maze alone.  You need an experienced elder law attorney.
