What is an Aging Services Access Point?
There are 24 ASAPs across the Commonwealth, all contracted with the Executive Office of Aging & Independence, that provide programs and services designed specifically to support adults aged 60 and older, and their caregivers. From exploring care options and assistance with nutrition and food security, to support with housing, health, financial wellness, transportation, and safety, ASAPs are there to help.
ASAPs provide the following services:
- Home care program - Helping older adults to age in their own homes, safely, independently, and comfortably.
- Senior nutrition program – Providing healthy home delivered and community group meals for older adults.
- Options Counseling – Connecting older adults in need of short-term advice and guidance to available services in their community.
- Family caregiver support program – Offering programs to help people navigate the challenges of being a caregiver.
- Protective services – Working to help eliminate or alleviate the abuse or neglect of an older adult.
- Community Transition Liaison Program – Helping older adults who may be in a nursing facility transition back into their community.
- Supportive and congregate housing – Helping program residents with managing issues and social engagement.
