Certified Senior Advisor (CSA) · Boston Senior Advisor
Sandra Boyd is a Certified Senior Advisor with more than 20 years helping Greater Boston families navigate assisted living placement, memory care, and the MassHealth maze across the Boston metro region. She specializes in untangling cost and payment questions — MassHealth's Frail Elder Waiver and Senior Care Options (SCO) integrated Medicare-Medicaid plans, Ethos and Springwell (the Aging Services Access Points for Boston and Newton/Brookline/Waltham), and how Back Bay and Newton costs compare to Dorchester and Everett — for families under pressure. Sandra has personally toured communities across Suffolk, Middlesex, Norfolk, and Essex counties and knows how neighborhood and county shape the math on every placement.
Sandra Boyd contributes practical, Massachusetts-specific guidance to the Boston Senior Advisor blog. Our advice is free to families and grounded in current DPH/EOEA licensing data and MassHealth rules.
Free, no-pressure call. We work for families, not facilities.
