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.
- Community Transition Liaison Program – Helping adults ages 22 and older who are in a nursing facility transition back into their community.
- Supportive and congregate housing – Helping program residents with managing issues and social engagement.
- Information & Resources (I&R) – Provide information before, during and after emergencies, respond to public inquiries and assist their local ASAP on available resources in the community. This may include shelter locations, pet care options, weather/storm preparedness, how to obtain necessities, & following instructions from local authorities, etc.
Protective services – In addition to the above services, 19 ASAPs also function as Protective Services Agencies working to help respond to and eliminate or alleviate the abuse, neglect, or self-neglect of an older adult. Note the service areas mapped below may differ for protective services.
