Understanding AGE & ASAP

What is AGE?

The Executive Office of Aging and Independence — the Massachusetts state agency that oversees programs for older adults and people with disabilities.

What is ASAP?

Aging Services Access Points — 24 regional agencies that help seniors access home care, nutrition, transportation, and other support services.

AbbottCare is an approved provider that works directly with ASAPs to deliver high-quality home care services.

"I highly recommend AbbottCare. My mother was placed in hospice after her last discharge from the hospital. AbbottCare was an exceptional provider of home care for her final weeks. Addressed our needs of immediate coverage and were accommodating when we needed to expand the # of day coverage. Please feel comfortable employing this service for your loved one.
