Massachusetts, like most states, offers Medicaid Home & Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can help pay for assisted living or in-home care for those who qualify financially. Medicaid also covers long-term nursing home care. Medicare does not cover long-term room-and-board.

Assisted living and residential care communities in Massachusetts are licensed and inspected by the state's health or social services agency, which sets standards for staffing, safety, medication management, and resident care. Look for licensed, in-good-standing communities.
