Before entering long-term care, Tri-Valley helps evaluate your situation so you can make an informed decision about yourself or your loved one.

Once a decision is made, you remain empowered, still have a say in certain matters affecting that nursing or rest home placement. Tri-Valley helps elders and disabled people exercise their rights fully and independently by providing information and advocacy, including the option to move out of that situation. Here’s how:


A nurse helps determine if a person is medically eligible for nursing home placement paid for by Medicaid/MassHealth. All screenings involve an assessment by a nurse with medical information provided by the client’s doctor or a certified home health agency involved with the elder. (click to learn more)

A trained, certified representative works on your behalf to provide you with personalized information that helps you retain and exercise your rights. This advocate also works for changes that help you and others in the long-term care system. (click to learn more)


The Comprehensive Screening and Service Model (CSSM) process provides the potential for Medicaid recipients in nursing homes to return to their home communities. Seniors 60 or older may be eligible for Tri-Valley Home Care Services to help support your return to the community. Contact Tri-Valley to learn more.
