Skilled care is limited
When Medicare requirements are met, Part A may cover short-term skilled nursing facility care for up to 100 days in a benefit period. Daily coinsurance can begin after day 20.
Services & process
Help with the application, the follow-up, and everything between.
Angela helps families move from an urgent care change to an organized MassHealth long-term care application and stays involved as the case moves forward.
One clear process for every family
Request a review before you pay.
Angela reviews the location, circumstances, and anticipated work before confirming a fixed service price. Submitting a request is free, and no payment is collected until you choose to proceed.
How pricing works
A written price, then a secure payment link.
Tell Angela where service is needed and what is changing. After reviewing the request, she confirms the proposed scope and price in writing. If you approve it, she emails a secure Square payment link. Payment is required before consulting work begins.
Request a private reviewIf the scope later changes, Angela discusses and confirms any revised price before additional work is performed.

- Telephone eligibility and situation interview
- Personalized list of documents to gather
- In-person or arranged document review

What families need to know
Medicare and long-term care are not the same.
Coverage depends on the individual situation. These points explain why families often begin planning before skilled coverage changes.
Custodial care is different
Medicare generally does not pay for long-term custodial care when that is the only care needed. Families may need to explore MassHealth or another payment path.
MassHealth needs documentation
An application may require proof of income, assets, insurance, citizenship or status, and long-term-care information. If approved, a nursing-facility resident may have a monthly patient-paid amount.
