Quincy’s seniors live in a city and state that offers an array of free and subsidized resources. The examples below include ways of using retirement time productively, reducing care costs, and getting help if care providers fail their residents.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| MassHealth | (800) 841-2900 | Masshealth is the Medicaid program for Massachusetts. Although it can't pay for room and board in an assisted living facility, it can, under specific circumstances, cover some costs, such as medications and transport to medical appointments. An alternative for seniors who don't qualify is the Personal Care Attendant program, which enables the senior to pay a personally chosen caregiver directly from benefits provided by the program. |
| Assisted Living Ombudsman | (617) 727-7750 | Seniors in assisted living facilities who can't resolve disputes with their care providers can call on the Assisted Living Ombudsman for help. The ombudsman advocates for seniors, investigates their complaints and seeks resolutions that are agreeable to them. If a complaint suggests criminal behavior, such as elder abuse, the ombudsman will refer it to the proper authority. |
| SHINE - Medicare | (617) 376-1247 | SHINE is a state-funded service that aids seniors with Medicare and those preparing to enroll. SHINE counselors provide confidential and impartial information, advice and support to seniors planning for their long-term health care. The counselors can help seniors understand their Medicare plans and identify the best options for their needs. Sometimes, this may include suggesting private health care insurance, although the counselor will not try to sell seniors private plans. |
| Veterans Services | (617) 376-1192 | Veterans Service Officers (VSO) are veterans who help other vets identify and access the local, state, federal, and veterans benefits they're entitled to. They can also help with applications. These benefits can potentially include tax exemptions, low-cost insurance and VA Aid and Attendance payments, which can help meet some residential care costs. |
| RSVP Volunteer Services | (781) 329-5728 | RSVP connects seniors who want to help their communities with a wide range of nonprofit organizations and government departments looking for volunteers. These can include large organizations, such as the American Red Cross, and small local charities. The senior decides how much time they can spare and the type of work they have the skills for and RSVP finds the nonprofit that fits. |
Quincy-area assisted living communities must adhere to the comprehensive set of state laws and regulations that all assisted living communities in Massachusetts are required to follow. Visit our Assisted Living in Massachusetts page for more information about these laws.
