Dementia in Boston: what families should know
Real local data, not generic national averages.
Local senior population
84,074
Residents 65+ in Boston
11,039
Residents 85+ (highest dementia risk group)
U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates.
Who this affects locally
27,935 senior households in Boston have someone 65 or older living alone - exactly the situation where in-home supervision matters most. With 11,039 residents aged 85 and over, the group at highest risk of dementia, the need for local care is concentrated and growing.
Frail Elder Waiver (FEW)
Administered by MassHealth, through the Executive Office of Aging & Independence.
Dementia-specific eligibility
The Frail Elder Waiver is for people aged 65 and over, or 60 to 64 with a disability, who meet the level of care for a nursing facility but prefer to remain in the community. Applicants must meet clinical eligibility, need waiver services and go on receiving at least one each month, and live in a community setting that meets the federal Community Rule - which does not include assisted living, group homes or rest homes. The cited page does not describe any dementia-specific eligibility route, so ask the office that administers the programme how a dementia diagnosis is weighed in that assessment.
Asset limits: This state does not publish asset limits on its own program page. Confirm the current figures with the office that administers the program.
What makes MA different: Enrolment is open year-round rather than through a waitlist or registry, and eligibility continues only while the person actually uses the services - so a family that stops using them can lose the waiver even though the person still qualifies clinically.
How to apply: MassHealth applicants and members can apply for the Frail Elder Waiver at any time - there is no enrolment window. Clinical eligibility is assessed before enrolment, and a participant must keep receiving at least one waiver service each month to stay eligible.
