Who this guide is for

This guide is for Massachusetts residents age 60+ living with a disability (and their families or caregivers). It focuses on state-specific programs with direct links, real steps, and practical tips. We also cover options for Veterans, LGBTQ+ seniors, tribal members, and rural households.

We include realities and roadblocks, not just the sunny parts. Rules change, and waiting lists are real. Use the official links to confirm details before you apply.

Table: Programs at a Glance

Emergency help first

• Health or safety risk now? Call 911.
• Abuse, neglect, or financial exploitation of someone 60+? Call 1-800-922-2275 any time to reach the Massachusetts Elder Abuse Hotline. See: Report elder abuse | Mass.gov.
• At risk of homelessness or a shutoff? Apply for emergency rental help via RAFT | Mass.gov and call your utility right away to ask about medical and winter shutoff protections: Utility protections | Mass.gov.
• Can’t sort it out alone? Call MassOptions at 1-844-422-6277. They will route you to your local Aging Services Access Point (ASAP) for case management or urgent supports: MassOptions.

Reality check: In urgent cases, ask for “expedited” help. Many programs have waitlists. Always tell the screener if you have a shutoff notice, eviction, or medical risk. That can move your case faster.
