Narrative

Aging Services Access Point and Area Agency on Aging. Serves people 60 and older and people with disabilities. Some services require income eligibility and sliding fee scale. Some services are free. Other services are covered by Mass Health. They are available to disabled people under 60 as well (Adult Family Care, Personal Care Management Program). Congregate Housing is for age 60 and older or disabled adults.

WestMass ElderCare is proud to announce the Caregiver Assistance, Respite and Enrichment (CARE) program, our newly expanded paid caregiver respite program.  CARE offers caregivers options for obtaining respite care. WMEC has always offered caregiver supports, but the CARE program offers new flexibility for when, how, and how often caregivers can receive respite care services. Caregivers also have the option of hiring their own respite care provider, which may be a trusted family member or friend, or a professional caregiver from one of WMEC’s partner agencies.
