Our Mission: Aging Services of North Central Massachusetts (ASNCM) provides comprehensive information and quality services so that older people, individuals with disabilities and their families are empowered to make personalized choices to ensure a life of dignity, safety, and respect. Coupled with our commitment to continuous quality improvement and service excellence is our over 40 years of experience in the aging and home care fields. ASNCM offers comprehensive assessments and coordination of quality long-term care, which is consumer-oriented, cost-effective, and supports the autonomy and well being of the elderly and disabled. We are a private, non-profit agency, incorporated in 1974, that employs nurses and social workers to assist those who need help to remain independent in their own homes in safety, comfort, and dignity. Our major source of funding is the Executive Office of Elder Affairs, which oversees several programs designed to promote independent living for the elderly and support for their caregivers through a statewide network of ASAPs. We also receive funding from the Division of Medical Assistance which allows us to offer a range of services to younger disabled adults as well as elders.
