About the Alliance

The Home Care Alliance of Massachusetts is a non-profit trade association of home care agencies that promotes home care as an integral part of the health care delivery system. Founded in 1969, our mission is connecting people and organizations to advance the health of communities through equitable access to quality care and services in the home.

As of May 2025, the Alliance has more than 200 Agency Members from all corners of Massachusetts, as well as nearly 100 Allied and Individual Members. Membership is voluntary – the Alliance is not a government entity – but provides essential resources to our members to help them stay informed and thrive.
