What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Massachusetts?
Assisted living in Massachusetts supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence.

Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.
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.
What is assisted living?
Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.
