Marsters v. Healey is a lawsuit filed by seven individuals with disabilities living in nursing facilities and the Mass Senior Action Council against the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

The case sought to require the State to provide community residential services and supports for individuals with medical conditions, physical disabilities, and mental illness who want to leave nursing facilities to live in the community.

The case and Settlement Agreement is cross-disability, which means it will benefit everyone in nursing facilities regardless of the type of disability they may have.
