Six people with disabilities residing in nursing facilities have filed a class action lawsuit in federal district court in Boston that Governor Charlie Baker and other state officials have failed to provide community residential services and supports, claiming that this failure has forced thousands of people with disabilities to live in segregated nursing facilities rather than in the community. According to the complaint filed by the six nursing home residents, the Commonwealth’s failure violates the Americans with Disabilities (ADA) and the Medicaid Act and disproportionately impacts people of color. The plaintiffs are represented by the Center for Public Representation, a national disability rights law firm in Northampton, Massachusetts; Justice in Aging, a national advocacy organization for older adults; Greater Boston Legal Services, a local legal services program; and the private law firm of Foley Hoag, LLP.
