This month we recognize the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the progress made toward greater access, inclusion, and opportunity for people with disabilities.

We honor the advocates who made this milestone possible and continue working toward a more accessible future.

Massachusetts had an incredible showing at the USAging Annual Conference in San Diego!

Mass Aging Access was proud to join colleagues from Aging Services Access Points (ASAPs) and Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) from across the Commonwealth to learn, collaborate, and share innovative approaches to serving older adults.

Congratulations to the many Massachusetts professionals who presented educational sessions, sharing their expertise with peers from across the country. We're also especially proud to congratulate three Massachusetts organizations whose outstanding programs received USAging Aging Innovations & Achievement Awards:
• Mystic Valley Elder Services for its Supportive Housing Wellness Nurse Program
• Central MA Senior Connection for Justice in Motion (1st place)
• Somerville-Cambridge Elder Services for its Supportive Living Site at Cambridge Court Apartments

And as the conference concluded, we were thrilled to learn that AgeSpan was selected as an Administration for Community Living Health at Home Challenge Phase 1 Winner—another exciting example of Massachusetts leading the way in developing innovative approaches that help older adults age safely and independently at home.

These national recognitions showcase the innovative, person-centered work happening every day across Massachusetts to support older adults, caregivers, and communities.

Thank you to USAging for bringing together organizations dedicated to improving the lives of older adults and caregivers. We return inspired, energized, and ready to put new ideas into action.

Congratulations to everyone who represented Massachusetts so well—we're proud to be part of such an innovative and dedicated aging network.

We’re excited to share that AgeSpan’s 2025 Impact Report and “2025 Inspiring Lifelong Learning” video have received a Silver Award and a Bronze Award in the 35th Annual Mature Media Awards! 🎉

These national awards celebrate the best in communications, marketing, and programs that support older adults, and we’re proud to have our work recognized among this year’s honorees.

A big thank you to Markins Media for helping bring our video to life, and to everyone who helped make these projects possible. We’re grateful to continue sharing stories that highlight the value, experiences, and voices of older adults.

🎉 Celebrating the anniversary of the Older Americans Act! 🎉

For generations, the Older Americans Act has helped support older adults by promoting independence, connection, and access to important services.

Today, we recognize older adults and the caregivers, advocates, volunteers, and organizations who help strengthen our communities.
