My Story…
My name is Kathleen Gouveia and I served on the Old Colony Elder Services Board of Directors from 2017 until 2020. During that time I learned so much about the agency and was able to assist my clients with the support of OCES. A little bit about me: I graduated from Bridgewater State University with my bachelors in social work in 2017. I worked as an Outreach Coordinator for the Town of Easton, and currently work for Elder Affairs.
I was raised and currently live in Wareham, MA with my husband and our two dogs, 4 year old chocolate lab, Riley and 2 year old German Shepard, Macie.
I enjoy running. It is a challenge, but it is truly rewarding and it allows me to take care of my mind and body!
I am running for OCES because I want to raise money for this agency who continues to do amazing things for the communities they serve. I am passionate about OCES and their mission.

The mission of Old Colony Elder Services (OCES) is to support the independence and dignity of older adults and individuals with disabilities by providing essential information and services that promote healthy and safe living. OCES proudly serves greater Plymouth County and surrounding communities. OCES is a private, non-profit organization headquartered in Brockton and designated as one of 25 Aging Services Access Points (ASAPs) in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. We are governed by a Board of Directors, which includes representatives from the 23 communities in our ASAP service area. Since 1974, OCES has been providing a variety of services to those individuals most in need. Through our programs we offer significant life-supporting care contributing to an individual’s ability to live within the community as independently as possible for as long as possible while preserving dignity and quality of life. OCES is the largest provider of these in-home and community-based services for older adults and people living with disabilities in the southeastern part of Massachusetts.
