Elder Services of Cape Cod and the Islands

We are part of the Mass Aging Access network, a group of 30 non-profits dedicated to serving seniors in every city and town in Massachusetts as well as a member of the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging (AAA), the umbrella organization for the 655 AAAs in the United States.

As we age, our bodies, minds and priorities change. We provide help in understanding these changes and connections to the resources needed to stay safe, healthy, and independent. We act as a central source for information and referral, as an advocate, collaborator, and catalyst, as a coordinator of services and care, as an educator, and as a provider of direct services. In our service areas, more than 40% of the population is age 60 or older. These older adults contribute to the community as business owners, taxpayers, workers, artists, and as volunteers, staffing town committees, non-profit boards, and maintaining conservation lands. Most would like to remain in their homes and active in their communities as they age for as long as possible. We help realize that goal and, in so doing, help maintain social fabric that makes this place so special.
