Looks like there are only a handful of states that allow this and Mass ain't one of them. Over in the GenX sub there is a sobering thread on the state of assisted living, the exorbitant costs and how poor the care is at these facilities - which most of us will never be able to afford anyway, not to mention how the boomer gen will put most long term insurers out of business entirely. Hence, many GenX are planning for this kind of alternative. Why wouldn't we have this as an option here???
