Qualifying for MassHealth and Medicaid is essential for many people as the high cost of nursing home care can quickly wipe out a person’s lifesavings.
MassHealth/Medicaid can pay for nursing home care, but it is “means tested”, and there are strict rules regarding the transfer of assets for the purpose of qualifying for MassHealth/Medicaid. In the midst of a crisis, where can you turn for help and guidance?

Paying for Nursing Home Care
MassHealth/Medicaid applies a five-year look back period for the transfer of assets. That means that the government can take any assets that have been transferred out a person’s name in order to pay for Medicaid-funded nursing home care.
Many exceptions exist however, and with careful planning and attention to details, it is possible to qualify for MassHealth/Medicaid while preserving assets. There are many tools and resources that can enable you to protect your home and assets. We can also complete the complex paperwork involved in a MassHealth/Medicaid application.
Our attorneys and staff are compassionate and caring. We understand the difficult position you are in — and we will work hard to achieve the best possible solution for you and your loved one.
