Old Colony Elder Services

The Massachusetts Money Management Program Celebrates its 30th Year. Program Volunteers are recognized by Old Colony Elder Services and other local sites throughout the State

September 28, 2021 //  by admin

September marks the 30th year that the Massachusetts Money Management Program (MMMP) has been helping adults over 60, and adults living with disabilities, maintain their independence. The MMMP is a free, volunteer-supported program that is vital to those it serves. Without the program, many individuals would face food insecurity, financial exploitation, eviction, and premature institutionalization.

MMMP volunteers have always gone above and beyond for their consumers and for the 30th anniversary, their dedication and hard work were recognized by Old Colony Elder Services (OCES) at its volunteer appreciation event last month.


MMMP volunteers work one-on-one with at-risk individuals to help them create a budget, pay their bills, reduce debt, and find local support services. Since 1991, MMMP volunteers have served 13,000 Massachusetts residents. The past 18 months, MMMP volunteers were a lifeline to individuals who had no one else to turn to, or even talk to, during the pandemic. Throughout the pandemic, volunteers continued to support their consumers in a variety of ways including phone calls and virtual meetings.


Below are quotes from consumers and volunteers:

– “Helped in so many ways, I was losing confidence in myself. My volunteer has restored my confidence. If it wasn’t for the MMP I would have given up.”

– “My financial life has been saved because of this service.”

– “As an OCES’ Money Management Volunteer for 18 years, I have worked with Consumers that have faced not having enough money for food, on the verge of having electricity and gas shut off, and family members taking advantage of them. I have helped Consumers manage their finances so they don’t have to worry about the mortgage or losing their homes. Being a part of this MMP, I feel like I am making a difference in someone’s life. It’s very rewarding and there are many people out there in need of assistance.”  


The MMMP would not exist without the hundreds of volunteers who devote so much time and effort to support people in their communities. On behalf of the statewide program and all local programs, we would like to say a big Thank You to current and past volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering for OCES’ Money Management or other programs, please call 508-584-1561 and ask for the Volunteer Coordinator. 

Assistance & Volunteer Opportunities Available

OCES is accepting new consumers and volunteers into the Money Management program.  Donations to OCES’ MMMP are vital and may be made by visiting OCES’ website and clicking on Donate Now. For more information, to volunteer, or to make a donation to OCES’ Money Management Program, visit www.ocesma.org

About the MMMP
The Massachusetts Money Management Program’s mission is to promote and prolong independent living for income-eligible individuals over 60 who are at risk because of their inability to manage their finances. In order to achieve this mission, the MMMP:


– Provides assistance that enables people to live as independently as possible;

– Helps in the least intrusive way so that a person’s dignity and privacy are preserved; and

– Includes program safeguards to protect the consumer, the volunteer, and the local ASAP.


To learn more about the statewide program, to refer someone, to volunteer, or donate, please visit massmmp.org. You can search for your local program by city or town. You can also email mmmpinfo@tves.org or call 508-949-6640 ext. 3376.

“Buried in Treasures” Virtual Workshop Begins August 10th

July 22, 2021 //  by admin

Old Colony Elder Services (OCES), the non-profit agency proudly serving older adults and individuals with disabilities throughout greater Plymouth County, is offering a Buried in Treasures Virtual Workshop – a facilitated self-help series for individuals with hoarding tendencies.

For anyone struggling with clutter, compulsive acquiring, saving, and hoarding, OCES’ Buried in Treasures confidential workshop begins Tuesday, August 10, 2021. Classes meet once a week for 16 weeks. This specific workshop is for individuals working on their own recovery; it is not for friends, family or service providers. However, others are welcome to contact OCES for information and resources.

“Buried in Treasures” is an educational, judgment-free, self-help program facilitated by OCES that will meet virtually from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The registration cost is $250 per workshop and is non-refundable.

Scholarships Available

Limited scholarships are available for the Buried in Treasures Virtual Workshop based on financial need. Scholarships are supported by funds raised from OCES’ Hoarding 101 Workshop for service providers held earlier this year and attended by 156 professionals.

“A hoarding disorder not only disrupts an individual’s daily life, it can also significantly affect their relationships with loved ones. This self-help workshop will help attendees better understand it and learn practical coping skills,” explained Terri Kourtz, OCES’ Protective Services Director and Chair of The Greater Brockton Area Hoarding Task Force(GBAH).  

Buried in Treasures Virtual Workshop is available to individuals of all ages and there are no geographic restrictions. Past participants of Buried in Treasures workshops have shared that they found the workshop very helpful, they felt supported, and would recommend the workshop.

What is Hoarding?

Hoarding is when individuals continue to accumulate items, such as clothing, newspapers and food, and then have persistent difficulty discarding possessions. Individuals with hoarding behaviors often face health issues related to falls, as well as the risk of losing their homes.

Buried in Treasures Virtual Workshop is sponsored by OCES and GBAH.

For more information or for an application to the Buried in Treasures Virtual Workshop, contact Deana Andrade at OCES, 508-584-1561 extension 232 or email dandrade@ocesma.org.

Over the past year, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted many lives in our community. During this time OCES adapted to the ever-changing demands especially the concerns of food insecurity in the older adults in greater Plymouth County. OCES’ Nutrition Staff have been working nonstop to fulfill the increased demand for nutritious meals. OCES not only adjusted to the higher volume, they provided new opportunities such as delivering 2,000 bags with “one week’s worth” of groceries to consumers. Staff also collaborated with local Councils on Aging to offer “Grab & Go” meals to older adults in the community.

OCES Assists at Vaccination Clinic for Residents at Wareham’s Redwood Park Housing

April 16, 2021 //  by admin

Old Colony Elder Services (OCES), the nonprofit agency proudly serving older adults and individuals with disabilities throughout greater Plymouth County, was onsite to assist Wareham Housing Authority at their Redwood Park vaccination clinic held March 24, 2021.

Jillian Brown, OCES’ Supportive Housing Coordinator for Wareham’s Redwood Park processes the necessary forms during the recent COVID-19 vaccination clinic held onsite for residents.

The Wareham Housing Authority held a COVID-19 first dose vaccination clinic at Redwood Park Housing, 34 Church Avenue, to provide homebound and most vulnerable residents access to the vaccine. Wareham EMS administered the vaccine, assisted by 20 OCES volunteers and staff who processed consent forms and provided general support. A total of 50 residents were vaccinated that day.

According to residents Lucy (age 88), who received the vaccine alongside her husband Harold, “We’re just plain lucky! Harold will be celebrating his 90th birthday later this month and we’re overjoyed with the possibility of celebrating this milestone with our family now that we have received the vaccine.”

“Without having the vaccine brought to them, many residents would not have opted to receive the vaccine due to distance, transportation issues and difficulties navigating the website to register,” said Nicole Long, CEO of OCES. “OCES is working with local housing authorities, offering assistance onsite at vaccination clinics throughout our service area.”  

Supportive Housing in Wareham

OCES works with the Wareham Housing Authority to provide a supportive housing program at Redwood Park. Supportive Housing Programs are designed to create a community environment which allows residents to age in place, while also enriching the lives of those residents.
