Does Massachusetts Medicaid cover assisted living?
Massachusetts Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Massachusetts) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.
