SHINE Program | (800) 243-4636 | SHINE (Serving the Health Insurance Needs of Everyone) is a program for Medicare beneficiaries and those of an age where they can enroll in a plan.

Consultations are confidential and typically conducted face-to-face. |
VA Aid and Attendance Benefits and Homebound Allowance | (800) 827-1000 | The VA Aid and Attendance benefit and Homebound Allowance are payments made monthly to qualifying veterans of the U.S. military and their spouses. They are included with the VA pension to cover some costs for seniors in assisted living communities or those who receive home health care services. To see if they qualify, seniors can use the free tool on the VeteranAid.org website. |
Assisted Living Ombudsman | (617) 727-7750 | The Assisted Living Ombudsman is the voice of seniors residing in assisted living facilities in Massachusetts.
