Advantage Home Health Care Data Breach – Investigated by Federman & Sherwood
September 1, 2026 – Federman & Sherwood, a national consumer protection law firm, is investigating the Advantage Home Health Care data breach following a notification filed with the Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation.
According to the filing, approximately one Massachusetts resident was affected, with additional individuals potentially affected nationwide. The information potentially compromised includes Social Security numbers, medical records, and financial account information.

Federman & Sherwood is investigating whether Advantage Home Health Care implemented reasonable cybersecurity safeguards to protect patient information and whether additional measures could have prevented the data breach.
The potentially compromised information may include:
- Names
- Social Security numbers
- Financial information
- Medical information
- Health insurance information
- Other sensitive information
