Since 1974  WestMass ElderCare has existed to serve the needs of older people.  A private, non-profit agency, its programs are funded by grants and contracts from the Massachusetts Executive Office of Elder Affairs, and a number of other funding sources, including private donations.

WestMass ElderCare offers a diversity of programs and services to preserve independence and the family network.  We are here to meet the individual needs of the elder at the different stages along the continuum of care, ranging from information services to inhome support, to crisis prevention and nursing home advocacy.

WestMass ElderCare awards grants through the Older Americans Act to fund a  number of services, such as legal assistance, community-based services, home repair, inhome services and a variety of health programs including services for caregivers.
