Salary ranges will now be posted for most Mass. job listings, thanks to new law By Janice Jarosz A new law enacted last week will require most employers to provide a salary range, a move that Governor Maura T. Healey says protects wage equality for women and people of color. Most employers in Massachusetts are now required to post a job’s salary range under the legislation signed into law last week (July 31) by Governor Healey, a move advocates praised as a step toward wage equity. The law applies to public and private employers with more than 25 employees. These employers are also now required to provide a salary range for an employee who is off ered a promotion or transfer, under the new law. Employees are also able to ask the salary range of current employees or people applying for the role, Healey’s offi ce announced. “I want to give a shout-out to former Lieutenant Governor Evelyn Murphy for her leadership over decades on this, and it’s a privilege to be able to sign this important bill for women’s equity,” Healey said. Murphy, who became the fi rst woman in Massachusetts to hold a constitutional offi ce while serving under Governor Michael Dukakis (1987 to 1991), is now co-chair of the Wage Equity Now Coalition. www.810bargrille.com “Gender and racial wage gaps are real,” Murphy said in a statement. “They cause wealth gaps. A KEY CONTRIBUTOR: Former Lieutenant Governor Evelyn Murphy, co-chair of the Wage Equity Now Coalition, addressed the audience at the bill signing ceremony for the new Wage Equity Law last week. Governor Maura T. Healey cited Murphy’s decades of work on the issue and credited her for helping to pass the law. (Courtesy photo of Janice Jarosz) With this legislation, Massachusetts claims lead position in building economic prosperity through equitable treatment of every worker.” The legislation requires public and private employers with 25 or more employees to disclose pay ranges in job postings, provide the pay range of a position to an employee who is off ered a promotion or transfer and, on request, provide the pay range to employees who already hold that position or are applying for it. The Attorney General’s Offi ce will conduct a public awareness campaign on these new rules. The Attorney General’s Offi ce will also be given enforcement authority and the ability to imA NEW LAW: Governor Maura T. Healey last week signed into law legislation that increases equity and transparency in pay by requiring employers to disclose salary ranges and protecting an employee’s right to ask for salary ranges. (Courtesy photo of Janice Jarosz) pose fi nes or civil citations for violations of this law, and employees will receive protections against retaliation for asking for salary ranges when applying for a job or promotion. The legislation also requires public and private employers with 100 or more employees to submit wage data reports to the state, which will then be published through aggregate wage reports by the Executive Offi ce of Labor and Workforce Development. (Editor’s Note: Janice Jarosz, a lifelong Saugus resident, former town offi cial, writer and frequent contributor to The Saugus Advocate, attended last week’s bill signing ceremony for the new wage equity law as a guest of former Lieutenant Governor Evelyn Murphy, who is also a fi rst cousin of Jarosz.)

Find out if you have a lead service line! Clean Water Fund and the City of Malden team up lean Water Fund and the City of Malden are teaming up to help Malden residents fi nd out if they have a lead service line. A service line is a pipe that brings water from the street into the home. Some service lines are made of lead and, as the pipe ages, lead could get into the drinking water. Currently, over a third of Malden’s service lines, over 2,500 lines, are made of lead. Approximately 1,400 service lines have unknown materials. The City of Malden is working to identify lead service lines and plan for their replacement. Clean Water Fund and the City of Malden consultants will be knocking on doors the week of August 12–16 to provide education about lead in drinking water and to set up appointments to check the service line. This free service line check will only take fi ve minutes! Identifying and removing lead service lines is the best way to eliminate lead in drinking water. Lead is harmful to health, particularly to the nervous system, brain and kidneys. While lead is dangerous to people at any age, pregnant women and children younger than six years old are particularly vulnerable. Look for Clean Water Fund the week of August 12 and check the service line! If you don’t see them, contact the City of Malden Engineering Department at 781-397-7040 or the City of Malden consultant at 973-525-9094 to schedule an appointment.

Page 6 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, August 9, 2024 ~ Malden Musings ~ Malden Police Commissioner Barbara Walsh Murphy By Peter Levine I t is said in “Malden Musings”... • On Wednesday night, June 24, at about 6:48 p.m., Malden celebrated bigly. From CPL William T.J. Dempsey Memorial Square in Linden all the way to the Lt. Walter J. Gunther Jr. Memorial Stone at the Rez, Maldonians raised a glass of cheer for Barbara Walsh Murphy, Malden’s very first female Police Commissioner. The overflow crowd waited patiently for the eagerly anticipated vote as many of the councillors weighed in on the merits of Barbara’s appointment. All spoke in glowing terms of their former colleague but, surprisingly, one councillor voted against the appointment. On a side note, how ’bout being that lone solitary councillor, in the books as being on the wrong side of history? Good grief! Then MPD Chief Glenn Cronin (backed by many of the men and women in blue serving us so proudly) took the podium and gave a presentation for the ages – sealing the deal for Barbara (I hear tell Animal Control Officer and amateur historiMalden Mayor Gary Christenson, Malden Police Commissioner Barbara Walsh Murphy and “First Gentleman,” husband Jeff. an Kevin Alkins had a hand in researching some of the more esoteric historical MPD moments captured by Chief Cronin). Not to digress but just to reiterate, Malden is extremely fortunate to have Chief Cronin sitting in the big seat. Another fabulous decision by the Mayor’s Office for our future in Malden. Keep up the great work, Chief, your department is, without doubt, the envy of our neighbors – on a daily basis, each and every officer making us proud. Barbara! Congratulations! You so deserve this appointment, and you will be exceptional at it. Malden has your back as you witnessed at the SRO special session to anoint you. I even saw your cousin Jimmy (Sullivan) come out of hibernation to show support, with your hubby Jeff making a rare in-person appearance (LOL)! All the best in the future and to the future, Barbara! Show them what we in Ward 5 have known for years: You are simply the best! Hey, you know you’ve made an impact if The Kevin Larson takes time to write a letter to the editor praising your appointment. • Oh, and by the way, once again a tip of the fedora to Erika’s little brother, Mayor Gary Christenson (and his staff), for making yet another brilliant decision benefiting the lives of each and every Maldonian for many years to come. Hey, if Mayor “Beast Slayer” fails to make another important decision during his tenure, this appointment and his tearing down the “Beast That Devoured Pleasant Street” would be enough to cement his legacy. • “What you are about to read is a matter of human record. Explain it: we cannot. Disprove it: we cannot. We simply invite you to explore with us the amazing world of the Unknown ... to take that One Step ... Beyond.” Ron Hogan aka “The Stable Genius” wears many hats in the Malden he loves so dearly. Director in the Parking Dept., Malden’s Chief Strategy Officer, parent to Theo and – much like Master Po in the 1972 TV series “Kung Fu” – a dispenser of wisdom for any grasshopper that may seek it are but a few. What many do not know is that he is a world-class chef. I kid you not. Long (true) story short, Ron brings a crockpot full of his celebrated meatballs into the office for the Parking Control Officers. The food was to recognize the exceptional work they had been doing lately. Ron created these yummy orbs with the recipe gifted to him from Johnny Cagno. I’m sure you know Johnny or somebody in his large, wonderful extended family. JC was one of those kids growing up who “all the guys wanted to be like, and all the girls wanted to be with him.” True fact. A little backstory: In 2008, Johnny aka Gino emails Ron aka Luigi (inside joke) his mother Nancy’s recipe for her Edgeworth-famous meatballs (“don’t make them too small!”). The recipe disappears; in 2012 upon request, John forwards the much sought after recipe back to Hoagy. Anyway, as I said, this recipe was from John’s late mom, Nancy (aproMUSINGS| SEE PAGE 14

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, August 9, 2024 Page 7 REQUEST | FROM PAGE 1 Parks Program. This funding ensures that the city can proceed with the bidding process for the project. Mayor Gary Christenson is a longtime proponent and advocate for this project. For the past several months, he has been working alongside staff in the Offi ce of Strategic Planning & Community Development to figure out a way to close the signifi cant budget gap. Various funders were contacted, many meetings were held and a series of grant applications were submitted. Once the Mayor met with EEA, they worked quickly to grant Malden this incredible award. “Receiving this critical funding was nothing short of a miracle,” said Mayor Christenson. “On behalf of the City of Malden, we are so grateful to the EEA for pushing our unique park project from vision to reality.” “The Healey-Driscoll Administration is pleased to provide the funding to reach this pivotal moment,” said EEA Secretary Rebecca Tepper. “I was able to tour the project last year and witnessed fi rsthand the teamwork that has moved Malden River Works forward. This grant moves us closer to a revitalized Malden River. As our planet warms, it’s more important than ever that communities like Malden can access and enjoy their beautiful natural resources.” The Malden River Works project aims to create a climate-resilient waterfront park along the Malden River for everyone to access. The park will be situated at Malden’s Department of Public Works (DPW) site and will help reduce climate vulnerability by Architect’s drawing of the future Malden River Works Park and Dept. of Public Works Yard (Credit: Landing Studio) implementing nature-based solutions, such as green stormwater infrastructure to lower surface fl ood risk, increased tree canopy to minimize the “urban heat island” eff ect and an elevated greenway to act as a barrier against sea level rise. Additionally, the park will off er recreational opportunities, including a fl exible lawn area, waterfront paths and a fl oating dock. The design is intended to be inclusive – welcoming visitors of all backgrounds, ages, languages, abilities and socioeconomic statuses. The site will also feature representations of Malden’s diverse cultures through signage, cultural events and outdoor classes. The design for this project was the result of fi ve years of collaboration between the City of Malden, the project team, which includes urban designers and watershed and climate resilience planners, and the Steering Committee. Planning studies conducted in 2017 and 2018 documented widespread interest in the river as a future civic asset from Malden residents and local stakeholders. For example, the Malden River Greenway Plan envisioned a network connecting riverfront open space in Malden, Medford and Everett. Born out of that regional concept, Malden River Works was shaped by residents into a project that is uniquely Malden. In 2019 the Malden River Works project received the inaugural Leventhal City Prize from MIT’s Leventhal Center for Advanced Urbanism. This prize focuses on encouraging innovative urban design and planning strategies for equitable resilience. The award initiated a multiyear planning and fundraising campaign to create and fi nance the park – incorporating input from Malden residents.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, August 9, 2024 Page 9 Friends of Fellsmere Heights’ upcoming events Big changes for the Lantern Walk T he Lantern Walk, the Friends of Fellsmere Heights’ annual celebration of creativity, community and Fellsmere Pond, will be held on August 24 (Rain date: August 25) from 4:30 to dusk at the Savin Street entrance to Fellsmere Park, as usual, and will conclude with a walk around the Pond. However, the time is the only “usual” thing about it. Some health and logistical challenges, as well as safety concerns, have led the Friends to make the following changes: • They will off er reusable, battery-powered LED string lights to light the lanterns, rather than candles. Lights will be multicolored or “warm” white. • Participants will be invited to draw their own designs on pre-papered lanterns, rather than covering empty bottles with glue and tissue paper. • Some options: bringing lanterns from a previous Lantern Walk, using a decorated lantern that the Friends saved from a previous Walk, or simply bringing a clear plastic bottle, such Lanterns with lights (Courtesy photo) as a water or seltzer bottle with the label removed. As you can see from the examples below, a plain bottle – in this case, a Smartwater bottle with the label pulled off – makes an exciting lantern all on its own. The Friends hope that this will make it easier for people to drop in, be as creative as they want to be and join the Walk! The Friends will provide plenty of washable markers. The Friends VP in charge of magic, Bob Doolittle, will be there with his bag of tricks, and there will be other entertainment.

The next monthly meeting will be in person! The Friends supporters are invited to this monthly meeting, which will be held in person on Saturday, August 10. Light refreshments will be provided. The Friends will be showing off the Lantern Walk lanterns and going over plans, looking at more drone pictures of progress at the former Malden Hospital site and planning future community engagement opportunities. The Friends of Fellsmere Heights board will meet in informal session from 9:30–10:30 a.m.; the regular meeting with supporters will begin at 10:30.

Page 10 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, August 9, 2024 8th annual Malden Overcoming Addiction Day a tremendous success Special to The Advocate O n Saturday, August 3, 2024, we celebrated our annual family day, Malden Overcomes Day. Malden Overcomes Day is held each year to give back to the community and to recognize the commitment and tireless efforts of Malden Overcoming Addiction (MOA), its supporters and the City of Malden. On this warm, sunny day, families and children moved from the bouncy houses and water slides to the splash pad. They played games organized by MOA volunteers, including more than 20 high school volunteers from the Malden Teen Enrichment Center, Malden High School Key Club, National Honor Society, their alumni and the Y Leaders. The sack races, Hula-Hoops, water balloon toss and tug-of-war were big hits. There was plenty of food, cold drinks and slush for all of those in attendance.

Page 12 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, August 9, 2024 ~ 375th Anniversary of the Incorporation of the Town of Malden ~ Foundation of Charlestown – Part 10 By Inna Babitskaya A ccording to the company records, Charlestown was founded on July 4, 1629, between the Charles and Mystic Rivers and Boston Harbor by brothers Ralph, Richard and William Sprague, Abraham and Walter Palmer, Nicholas Stowers, John Stickline, Simon Hoyte, John Meech, Rev. Francis Bright and Thomas Graves. Who were the cofounders of Charlestown who came with brothers Sprague aboard the Higginson Fleet’s ships? Abraham Palmer (1605-1653), a merchant, was one of the prominent men of the colony. He signed the instructions to Gov. Endecott on May 30, 1628. He became a freeman in 1631. Abraham Palmer served as Charlestown’s deputy to the General Court in 1632, 1634 and 1636-38, and as a town selectman in 1634, 1636 and 1637. He was on the coroner’s jury, a grand jury, the committee to establish town boundaries, the committee to report on Mr. Endecott for defacing the flag and the committee on requests for grants of land. He was a town clerk in 1638 (to keep the town book, record properties, and land) and in 1642 – the “clerk of the writs.” During the Pequot War, he was a sergeant. In 1638, he was appointed ensign, a member of the Artillery Company. He died August 29, 1653, in Barbados. Walter Palmer (1589-1661), a farmer and dairyman, was first mentioned in the records of the jury on Sept. 28, 1630: “called to hold an inquest on the body of Austin Bratcher,” who died because of “the strokes given by Walter Palmer.” “Mr. Palmer made his personal appearance this day [October 19, 1630] & stands bound, hee & his sureties, till the nexte court.” Palmer’s close John Winthrop the Younger (1606-1676) friend, William Chesebrough (1594–1667), a farmer and trader who came to the colony in 1630 with the Winthrop fleet, was a witness. At a court session of “a court of assistants, holden att Boston, November 9th 1630,” numerous matters were taken up and disposed of, including the trial of Walter Palmer and one other item of interest: “it is ordered that Rich. Diffy, servt. To Sr. Richard Saltonstall, shall be whipped for his misdemeanor toward his maister.” “ A Jury impannell for the tryall of Walter Palmer, concerning the death of Austin Bratcher: Mr. Edmond Lockwood, Rich: Morris, Willm Rockewell, Willm Balston, Christopher Conant, Willm Cheesebrough, Willm Phelpes, John Page, Willm Gallard, John Balshe, John Hoskins, Laurence Leach, The jury findes Walter Palmer not guilty of manslaughter, whereof hee stoode indicted, & soe the court acquitts him.” He took the Oath of Freeman of Massachusetts Bay Colony on May 18, 1631, together with “Mr. Roger Conant, John Balche, Ralfe Sprage, Simon Hoyte, Rick. Sprage, Abraham Palmer, Mr. Rich. Saltonstall, Rich. Stower, Ezekiell Richardson, Wm Cheesebrough.” He was elected selectman in 1635 and constable in 1636. On August 24, 1643, William Palmer and William Chesebrough left Charlestown and cofounded a new settlement, Seacuncke (future Rehoboth). Palmer became one of its first selectmen and represented it at the Plymouth Court. Before 1653, John Winthrop the Younger (1606–1676), Governor of Connecticut and son of Massachusetts Governor John Winthrop, persuaded Chesebrough to move to southern Connecticut. Chesebrough got a 2,300acre land grant from New London, Connecticut. Palmer and his son-in-law, Thomas Miner (1608–1690), who came to the colony in 1629, followed him and purchased land on the east bank of Wequetequock Cove, across from Chesebrough. In August 1652, Miner built a house for them on their land. The next year, both their families joined them. According to “Stonington Chronology,” Palmer was “a vigorous giant, 6 feet 5 inches tall. When he settled at Southertown (Stonington), he was sixty-eight years old, older than most of the other settlers.” Simon Hoyt (1593–1657) became a freeman on May 18, 1631. Before January 6, 1633, he had moved to Dorchester, Massachusetts. The town granted him “the marsh and swamp before Goodman Hosford.” In April 1635, he moved to Scituate, Massachusetts. By 1639, he had moved to Windsor, Connecticut. On February 28, 1640, the town granted him “fourscore acres” (known as Hoyt’s Meadow). He sold this property in 1646 and received a grant from Fairfield, Connecticut, on March 6, 1649, for a home and other properties. Later, he moved to Stamford, Connecticut. Nicholas Stowers (1585–1646) came to Massachusetts Bay Colony aboard the Lyon’s Whelp in 1629. He was admitted as the 70th member of the church of Boston in the winter of 1630/31. Cowherd with cow and calf He served on the coroner’s jury on September 18, 1630, and alongside Ralph Sprague on the trial jury concerning the death of Austen Bratcher on September 28, 1630. He became a freeman in 1631. On October 14, 1632, Nicholas Stowers and his wife were dismissed to join the Charlestown church. Stowers was appointed constable for Charlestown on May 9, 1639. In the colony, he worked as a cowherd. On September 28, 1630, it was ordered that “those of Dorchester who bought certain cattle of the merchants of Dorchester shall pay unto Nich. Stower 9 bushels of meal or of Indian corn, or £9 of beaver, for the keeping of the said cattle, according to an agreement made with him.” Stowers was made a herdsman in 1633. He had “to drive the herd forth to their food in the main every morning, and to bring them into town every evening, and to have fifty bushels of Indian corn for keeping the milch cows till Indian harvest be taken in.” John Stickline (Stickland/ Strickland, 1595–1672) became a freeman in 1631. Later he moved to Watertown; then, in 1635, to Wethersfield; in 1640, to Fairfield, Connecticut; in 1644, to Hempstead, Connecticut; and in 1663, to Jamaica, New York. Rev. Francis Bright (b. 1602) of Rayleigh, Essex, came with a wife and two children. He received from the Massachusetts Farming in the 17th century Puritans landing in Salem Bay Company “twenty pounds towards the expenses of his journey, his passage out and back, and a salary of twenty pounds a year” and “ten pounds for the purchase of books and a dwelling house and land.” According to the contract, “If he remained seven years, he was to have one hundred acres of land for his own use.” Mr. Bright resided in the colony over a year and was a “minister to the company’s servants.” He also served as a member of the colonial government’s council. However, his “affection for the church of England restrained him from going with his brethren in their increasing non-conformity. Hence, his labors would be likely to grow daily more unsatisfactory to the people. He sailed for England in the ship Lyon in July, 1630.” To be continued… (Inna Babitskaya is a Malden historian, a member of the Malden Historical Commission and the author of historical books “From Maldon to Malden,” “Time of Converse” and “Fellsmere Park – Emerald of Malden.”) Rhode Island man charged with allegedly stealing $13K in chips from Encore Casino E Gary Hunt, 35, of Woonsocket, Rhode Island was arraigned on larceny charges.(Boston 25 News) VERETT — A Rhode Island man was arraigned Wednesday on charges of larceny over $1,200 and larceny from a building for allegedly stealing thousands of dollars worth of chips from a table at Encore Boston Harbor Casino after causing a distraction on Tuesday night. A plea of not guilty was entered on his behalf following his arraignment at Malden District Court. According to Boston 25 News, Gary Hunt, 35, of Woonsocket, Rhode Island, was arrested in a nearby parking lot after Encore Boston Harbor’s Security Control Center and local law enforcement were informed that a patron, later identified as Hunt, stole a large quantity of chips from a table game and fled the scene. Witnesses reported that Hunt was sitting at the table where he allegedly told other patrons that someone won a large sum of money. When the other patrons became distracted, police say Hunt reached over the table and allegedly stole 13 orange chips valued at $1,000 apiece from the dealer’s tray. Hunt then reportedly ran from the scene but was soon found in a parking lot near the casino after a description of Hunt was broadcast to nearby officers. According to the Boston 25 News story, Hunt was found to have several $1,000 orange chips. Three additional orange chips were located using security video and authorities say he discarded two chips from his sneaker after leaving the casino. A brief search of the area did not locate any additional items. At the request of prosecutors, a judge ordered Hunt to stay away from the casino. He is due back in court on September 16.

Hint, hint Ron.... • Let’s have a big round of applause for Malden’s newest emRIGHT TO OCCUPY, ENJOY AND POSSESS REAL ESTATE HELD IN AN IRREVOCABLE TRUST fiduciary duty to the remaindermen (the beneficiaries that would receive the trust principal upon the Settlor’s death). If you happen to actually just A life estate is established when all of the remainder legal interest in a property is transferred to another individual, while the legal interest for life rights to use, occupy, possess, enjoy and receive the income or profits from the property is retained by the Settlor/ life tenant. A beneficiary who has the right to live in a house does not have the right to access principal. Even if the lifetime beneficiary/Settlor is also the trustee, and if the trustee decides to mortgage the property to make necessary repairs or to sell the real estate and buy another piece of real estate to be held in the trust as well, that right does not rise to the level of having “access” to the trust principal. The Settlor/lifetime beneficiary would only possess the right to occupy, enjoy and possess the replacement property and to collect any net rental income generated therefrom (if applicable). Furthermore, if the property is sold and there is no replacement property purchased, and the funds are simply invested, the Settlor/lifetime beneficiary only has the right to receive the net income generated from the investment. To distribute principal from the trust to himself/herself would constitute a gross breach of his or her have a life estate as reserved in a deed that you transferred to your children, for example, and if the property is sold, a certain portion of the sales proceeds must be allocated to you based upon actuarial tables found in IRS Book Aleph and interest rates found in Internal Revenue Code Section 7520. In that event, these monies allocated to you as a life tenant could be subject to spendown on nursing home care, even if you had deeded the real estate to your children more than 5 years ago. This is one of the benefits of the irrevocable trust. If the real estate is sold by the trustee, all of the sales proceeds belong to the trustee and the trustee must follow the terms of the trust exactly. Even if the Settlor is also the Trustee, he or she must follow the terms of the trust and will only have the right to distribute net income to the Settlor/lifetime beneficiary. The Settlor/lifetime beneficiary will have no rights to receive principal. This is your typical “income only” irrevocable trust. As mentioned earlier, there would be a massive breach of the trustee’s fiduciary obligation to the remaindermen if the trustee were to distribute principal to the Settlor. The bottom line is that we want the trust principal not to be counted for purposes of MassHealth eligibility. The Settlor of the irrevocable Trust cannot receive principal distributions under any circumstances. Joseph D.

Adjacent was the Little League Championship game. Kenny Mazonson and the Dolphins won again. Kenny has been doing this well for 50 years. The mayor was there to hand out the trophy. A bustling concession stand served as a landmark between the two events. Seems like freeze pops were the favorite! Each of the tennis courts was buzzing with amateur and semipro like players. The splash pad and playground were jammed with individuals and families alike. Several hundred people, by my count, were enjoying the variety of activities and the great weather.

Massachusetts is not alone – U.S. offi cials have described older Americans as facing a behavioral health crisis. As part of its ongoing eff orts to support emotional well-being during the aging journey, Mystic Valley Elder Services (MVES) was awarded a $150,000 grant from the state’s Behavioral Health Outreach for Aging Populations (BHOAP) program. “Behavioral health conditions skyrocketed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Those issues didn’t simply vanish when quarantine was lifted, especially for our community’s aging population, who are more likely to remain socially isolated,” observed MVES CEO Lisa Gurgone. “We’re proud to receive the BHOAP grant, which will help our team support those who are in critical need of care.” Central to the behavioral health crisis is the need for treatment. While an estimated one in four older Americans has a behavioral health condition not associated with normal aging, less than 33 percent of this population receives services to address their diagnosis. Within Massachusetts, BHOAP aims to address this problem. SWORN | FROM PAGE 1 missioner. City Clerk Carol Ann Desiderio took the oath and then had Murphy sign the offi cial Oath Book.

The BHOAP grant enables MVES to build on its existing outreach efforts and work to overcome barriers to care, including: • Coping with other chronic illnesses and physical frailty • Transportation limitations • Cost of care • Social isolation • Technological barriers • Cultural differences in approaches to behavioral care • Societal and/or generational stigma “Stigma is a major obstacle to any individual receiving treatment, but it can be a barrier that’s especially diffi cult for the aging population,” explained MVES Director of Clinical Services Lisa Felci Jimenez. “People dismiss these issues by saying, you’re just lonely or you just worry too much. Part of our team’s mission is to overcome these misconceptions and ensure people receive the care they need. Depression and anxiety are not an inevitable part of the aging process.” MVES has provided access to behavioral health services through its Complex Care team since 2005.

Caretaking Son Dear Caretaking, The rules and requirements for Medicaid eligibility for nursing home care are complicated and will vary according to the state your mother lives in. With that said, here’s a general, simplifi ed rundown of what it takes to qualify. Medicaid Eligibility Medicaid, the joint federal and state program that covers health care for the poor, is also the largest single payer of America’s nursing home bills for seniors who don’t have the resources to pay for their own care. (Note that some states have diff erent names for their Medicaid program.) Most people who enter nursing homes don’t qualify for Medicpowers MVES to expand its Complex Care team and better serve the aging population in its service area, which includes Everett, Malden, Revere and eight other communities. The Complex Care team focuses on increasing access to home- and community-based counseling to address a wide range of issues, including hoarding, depression, anxiety, adjustment to loss, substance abuse and more. They develop a personalized plan for each individual, connecting them to the care they need and monitoring each case over time. By working closely with other departments at MVES, the team ensures the individual receives any other support they need, such as transportation assistance or social engagement. The Complex Care team also offers bilingual support and works to build awareness and partnership throughout the community. “Our team ensures health providers and community organizations are aware that MVES off ers a range of services to support aging and that behavioral health is a key part of our off erings,” explained MVES Complex Care Team Manager Jennifer Shacklewood. “We want to improve that 33 percent of older adults who are receiving the treatment they need. The best way to do that is together, as a community.” and knowledge of this community, municipal government and fi nance combined with her fair mindedness and even keeled approach really make her a great fi t for this role.” Murphy, the fi rst woman to be appointed Police Commissioner in the history of Malden, is fulfi lling the term left vacant by the recent passing of longtime Police Commissioner Salvatore “Butch” Gennetti. aid at fi rst but pay for care either through long-term care insurance or out-of-pocket until they deplete their savings and become eligible for Medicaid. To qualify for Medicaid, your mother’s income and assets will need to be under a certain level that’s determined by your state. Most states (except California) require that a single person have no more than about $2,000 in countable assets ($3,000 for a married couple) that includes cash, savings, investments or other fi nancial resources that can be turned into cash. Assets that aren’t counted for eligibility include your mother’s home if it’s valued under $713,000 (this limit is higher – up to $1,071,000 – in some states), her personal possessions and household goods, one vehicle, prepaid funeral plans and a small amount of life insurance. But be aware that while her home is not considered a countable asset to determine eligibility, if she can’t return home, Medicaid can go after the proceeds of her house to help reimburse her nursing home costs, unless a spouse or other dependent relative lives there. (There are some other exceptions to this rule.) After qualifying, all sources of your mother’s income such as Social Security and pension checks must be turned over to Medicaid to pay for her care, except for a small personal needs allowance – usually between $30 and $160. You also need to be aware that your mother can’t give away her assets to qualify for Medicaid faster. Medicaid offi cials will look at their fi nancial records going back fi ve years (except in California which has a 30-month look-back rule) to root out suspicious asset transfers. If they fi nd one, her Medicaid coverage will be delayed a certain length of time, according to a formula that divides the transfer amount by the average monthly cost of nursing home care in their state. So, for example, if your mom lives in a state where the average monthly nursing home cost is $8,000 and she gave away cash or other assets worth $160,000, she would be ineligible for benefi ts for 20 months ($160,000 divided by $8,000 = 20). Spousal Protection Medicaid also has special rules (known as the community spouse resource allowance) for married couples when one spouse enters a nursing home, and the other spouse remains at home. In these cases, the healthy spouse can keep one half of the couple’s assets up to $154,140 (this amount varies by state), the family home, all the furniture and household goods and one automobile. The healthy spouse is also entitled to keep a portion of the couple’s monthly income – between $2,465 and $3,854. Any income above that goes toward the cost of the nursing home recipient’s care. What about Medicare? Medicare, the federal health insurance program for seniors 65 and older, and some younger people with disabilities, does not pay for long-term care. It only helps pay up to 100 days of rehabilitative nursing home care, which must occur after a three-day hospital stay. For more information, contact your state Medicaid offi ce. You can also get help from your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (see ShipHelp.org), which provides free counseling on Medicare and Medicaid issues.
