   If you are still unsure the MA and Plymouth County bar associations may have a Lawyer of the Day or Dial a Lawyer program that could give you free assistance.

In some cases, only 1 member of a household, for example a husband and wife, needs to be over 55. In other cases, a child under 55 can reside in the unit if they are legally disabled. So as another attorney mentioned, you would be best served by checking the rules for your particular community.
