Elder Law and Long Term Care Planning

Personal care, whether at home, in a rest home, assisted living, or a nursing home, is costly.  Unless long term care insurance is in place, life savings can evaporate quickly, jeopardizing the financial security of a family. Subsidies are available through MassHealth, the Veteran’s Administration, SSI and other programs, but the application process can be daunting and complying with complex, inconsistent and ever- changing rules a challenge.

Navigating you and your family through the options.

Starr Traiger offers a comprehensive team approach to meeting the legal challenges of aging, disability, and chronic illness. Our attorneys, legal assistants, and associated professionals have decades of experience guiding elders, individuals with disabilities, and their families through the maze of available programs. Our clients include those individuals who are living independently, are hospitalized, or living in institutionalized settings.

In addition to the preparation of legal documents Starr Traiger prepares and processes applications for MassHealth and works with Veteran Affairs certified agents on Veteran Affairs applications.
