Dear Reader:
Information gathered in this Resource Guide has been garnered from many remarkable individuals and organizations as
well as city, state and federal government departments. Most was found on the web, by mail and telephone.
It is the hope of HEALTH ADVOCATES FOR OLDER PEOPLE that you will find this guide a helpful resource. Our first
goal is to provide a tool for all to use when an older adult may find it preferable or necessary to consider moving into a
home with services for the aging. [While doing this research it was encouraging to discover so many resources
available to help seniors remain more safely in their own homes.]
Because it may be preferable for one to move into or find services in nearby neighborhoods, this guide is organized by
zip code.
Various descriptions of housing types can be confusing to say the least. In order to help with the definitions here, you
will find descriptions from City, State, Federal and other resources. Available housing runs the gamut from private forprofit to non-profit market rate for affordable housing, assisted living housing and nursing homes. Many of these have
been built with the help of different government and non-profit agencies. Some rents are lowered with the help of nonprofits or governmental agencies when financial assistance is needed.
When applying for an apartment or space in a residence, one needs to understand that the process is often long and
complicated. A lot of detailed paperwork must be filled out. We include some helpful suggestions.
We wish you good luck in your search for a new home or assistance while remaining in your current home!

Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly Program
http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/program_offices/housing/mfh/progdesc/eld202
The Federal Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly program provides housing with supportive services and
rental assistance for low or moderate income elderly, including elderly with disabilities. Generally, at least one household
member needs to be 62 or older. Buildings funded before 1991 may also accept disabled adults 18+ years of age.
Services may include a daily congregate meal, housekeeping, transportation, social services, and other activities that
help residents maintain independent living. However, prior to 1991 the program did not include funding for services, so
Section 202 projects vary in support services that are provided, ranging from none to a full complement. Because
developments are subsidized, rent is only 30% of monthly income.
To obtain the names and addresses of Section 202 developments, log on to HUD’s (United States Department of
Housing and Urban Development’s) website http://www.hud.gov. Enter “Rental Assistance Programs” in the Search
Box, click on “Search for an apartment,” select a State and City, and then choose “Elderly” under “2) Specify the
apartment type.” The phone number for HUD’s regional office is 212-264-8000. For additional information, including
income eligibility requirements, please contact the specific project or managing agent.
New York State Licensed Adult Homes
Adult homes are residences for dependent adults who are medically stable, alert, continent and ambulatory or able to
transfer from bed to chair. These adult care facilities offer personal care such as assistance with bathing and dressing,
three congregate meals a day, housekeeping, social and recreational programs, and 24 hours of non-medical
supervision. In general, living areas are designed without kitchens, and bedrooms may be private or shared. A
considerable number of adult homes accommodate the disabled and mentally ill.
New York State Licensed Enriched Housing
Enriched Housing provides care similar to adult homes, but the setting is more independent. Seniors have their own mall,
individual apartments equipped with kitchens, where they may prepare some meals daily; however, most facilities in

New York, NY, 212.980.1700
http://www.hafop.org

Housing Opportunities for Older People in
New York, New York, (Manhattan)
New York State serve three congregate meals a day. Usually 24 hours of non-medical supervision are provided. This
type of housing is not appropriate for persons with mental disabilities or persons whose behavior might negatively
affect other residents or staff.
New York State Licensed Assisted Living Residences (ALRs)
Assisted Living Residences (ALRs) must be certified as adult homes or enriched housing programs. They are classified
as Basic ALRs, Enhanced Assisted Living Residences (EALRs), or Special Needs Assisted Living Residences (SNALRs).
All three ALR categories require that an Individualized Service Plan (ISP) be prepared for each resident semi-annually or
more frequently, if needed. The major purposes of an ISP are to identify care needs through an evaluation of a client’s
overall health condition and to monitor for changes in health status that would signal the need for transfer to a more
appropriate type of facility.
Basic ALRs use the same admission/discharge criteria as adult homes or enriched housing programs. Clients who
chronically need the assistance of another person to walk (or to transfer) or who are incontinent may reside in an
Enhanced Assisted Living Residence (EALR), an ALR with added certification. EALRs provide some intermittent nursing
services.
Special Needs Assisted Living Residences (SNALRs) are intended for clients with dementia or other special needs. Adult
homes, enriched housing programs, or assisted living residences may be sufficient to deliver care to individuals in the
early stages of dementia. Distinguishing features of SNALRs designed for Alzheimer’s patients include building
modifications, staff with specialized training, and pre-planned strategies for handling challenging behaviors. Behavior
that cannot be managed at the SNALR level may result in discharge to another setting.
*Adult homes, enriched housing, assisted living programs, and assisted living residences accept private pay and/or long
term care insurance. Depending on the operator, SSI/Social Security may be accepted at some facilities as payment in
full. As health insurance programs, Medicare and Medicaid may help pay for medical services for facility residents.
To learn more about these residences, which are licensed/regulated by the NYS Department of Health, log on to their
website http://www.health.ny.gov. For a listing, type in the Search Box “Adult Care Facilities in (the county requested)”

and access a legend of abbreviations by typing “About the Adult Care Facility Directory.” For example, “NFP” stands for
Not-for-Profit. To view recent inspection reports, call the local office of the NYS Department of Health at 212-417-4440.
If you wish to file a complaint against a facility, contact the NYS Department of Health at 1-866-893-6772 (toll-free).
Home Sharing/Shared Living Residences
Home Sharing is a potentially attractive, affordable option in a city where low cost housing is scarce. Home sharing may
also reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation. Individuals are provided with their own private bedroom in a
homeowner’s or renter’s residence. The home seeker’s rent may be negotiated in exchange for household chores.
In the metropolitan area, the NY Foundation for Senior Citizens facilitates these living arrangements through extensive
screening, interviews with both parties for mutually agreeable matches, and assistance in negotiating agreements.
Matches made through the NY Foundation for Senior Citizens can be intergenerational. Call (212) 962-7559, ext. 244 for
details about their program.
Project SHARE also operates a home sharing program, as well as a shared living residence 2 program. Low-income
clients from any of the five boroughs are placed in housing located on Staten Island. All residents in Project SHARE’s
home sharing match-ups and shared living residences are seniors who are capable of independent living. The program
does not accept applicants who have a history of substance abuse or mental illness.
Shared living residences are apartments or houses for unrelated individuals to live together. Provided with a private
bedroom and common living areas (e.g., kitchen, living room, bathroom), each roommate functions as part of a
“household,” sharing daily chores and expenses. Project SHARE requires that at least one of the roommates be a senior
with a disability. For further information, contact Richmond Senior Services at (718) 816-1811.
NYCHA Public Housing
NYCHA provides low cost housing to low or moderate income persons in housing developments that offer community,
educational, and recreational opportunities. Public Housing accommodates households with up to 10 members. Rent is
30% of household adjusted gross income. Although most developments were constructed for people of any age, fifty-six
(56) developments include at least one building that is exclusively occupied by seniors. Forty-two (42) of these
Compiled by Health Advocates for Older People
New York, NY, 212.980.1700
http://www.hafop.org
10
Housing Opportunities for Older People in
New York, New York, (Manhattan)
developments are designated as exclusively senior developments, meaning all buildings are reserved for seniors only,
while fourteen (14) are partially senior developments, comprising both senior and non-senior buildings.
In the beginning of the application process, individuals will not be provided the opportunity to select a particular
residence. However, a senior whose household consists of seniors only, which is defined as persons 62 years of age or
older, can respond “yes” to the question on the application asking whether he/she would be interested in living in an
elderly development in general.
In order for an applicant who has not received an interview to retain his/her original order on the waiting list, a new
application needs to be submitted before the old one expires. Speak to a NYCHA Customer Contact Center
representative at 718-707-7771 for current rules regarding how often an applicant needs to re-apply to reserve his/her
placement on the waiting list.
To learn more about the program, call 311.
Section 8
Section 8 provides rent subsidies that allow low-income persons to afford safe, decent housing in the private market. To
ensure sanitary living conditions, residences are inspected and must pass Federal Housing Quality Standards for health
and safety.
In general, tenants pay 30% of household income for rent, with the difference paid by the United States Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD). In “tenant-based” models, the benefit is tied to the family, which chooses
housing in the private market from participating landlords, whereas in “project-based” contracts, the owners of specific
buildings offer subsidies to tenants.
Section 8 is administered by three agencies, each operating its own separate program: New York City Housing Authority
(NYCHA), NYC Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), and NYS Division of Housing and Community Renewal
(DHCR), with NYCHA being the largest provider.
NYCHA eligibility and availability. Currently, NYCHA is not accepting new applications for its Section 8 program.

HPD eligibility and availability. Eligibility is limited to the following: homeless persons living in HPD-designated shelters,
including some persons in the Department of Homeless Services and HRA systems; classified homeless persons, as
determined by the Emergency Housing Services Bureau, living temporarily at another’s residence within a building that is
under HPD’s jurisdiction; individuals/families being displaced due to the need for substantial renovation from buildings
owned by the City of New York or entities designated by the City to achieve its housing goals; or individuals/families
living in housing that is regulated by HPD or built/renovated with HPD funds, provided their rent is greater than 30% of
annual household income (the calculation for “rent” includes the cost of utilities) and they have been referred by HPD
program staff. Further information is available from 311.
DHCR eligibility and availability: DHCR’s Section 8 program provides vouchers to low-income households, senior
citizens and persons with disabilities on fixed incomes, disabled persons who are homeless, and displaced families. The
waiting list for applications has been closed and is anticipated to remain closed in the near future. Further questions can
be addressed to DHCR’s Subsidy Services Bureau at 212-480-6672.
An affordable housing list that includes project-based Section 8 buildings within the 5 boroughs is posted on HUD’s
website http://www.hud.gov. In the Search box, type “Find Rental Assistance”, click on the words “Search for an
apartment,” choose a State and the preferred County, and under “Specify the apartment type,” select “Family.” Contact
the individual developments directly for further information. The phone number for HUD’s regional office is 212-2648000.
In 2008, the New York City Council passed legislation that requires landlords to accept Section 8 vouchers as a form of
income that can be used towards paying the rent. Landlords with five or fewer units are excluded from this law, unless
their units are already rent-controlled, or the landlord also owns and operates another building that has six or more
apartments.
Mitchell-Lama Housing
Mitchell-Lama housing is subsidized rental a nd cooperative apartments for middle income New Yorkers of any age.
Apartments are supervised by either the New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal or the New York
City Department of Housing Preservation and Development. A small percentage of Mitchell-Lama housing are senioronly developments. Income guidelines fall into the categories of federally-assisted and non-federally assisted, with HUD

establishing income limits for federally-assisted buildings. Please view their schedule at http://www.huduser.org.
Maximum income levels for non-federally assisted developments and a listing of buildings can be found on DHCR’s
website http://www.nyshcr.org or by calling 1-866-ASK-DHCR. Additional information about Mitchell-Lama housing is
available at HPD’s (Housing Preservation and Development’s) website http://www.nyc.gov/hpd or by calling 212-8636500.
A tenant may be eligible for Mitchell Lama-specific SCRIE, which freezes rents for seniors and is separate from the NYC
Department of Finance’s SCRIE program. Contact HPD at the number indicated above. Information and applications for
the NYC Department of Finance’s SCRIE 4 program can be obtained by calling 311. More information can be found at
http://www.nyc.gov/html/dof/html/property/property_tax_reduc_drie_sc_te.shtml
Created in 1955, the Mitchell-Lama program provides affordable rental and cooperative housing to moderate- and
middle-income families. There are 132 City-sponsored, moderate- and middle-income rental and limited-equity
cooperative developments in New York City, which contain approximately 54,000 units. The Department of Housing
Preservation and Development (HPD) supervises waiting lists, management issues, and has other oversight
responsibilities for 50 Mitchell-Lama developments; an additional 82 developments have shared supervision by HPD and
the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development.
To Apply:
1. Check the list of Mitchell-Lama developments with open waiting lists and see if there are any developments in which
you are interested. http://www.nyc.gov/html/housinginfo/html/apartments/apt_rental_mitchell-lama.shtml
2. Send a letter to the managing agent of the development(s) in which you are interested.
Each development requires that you apply separately. There is no master list for applications. However, you can apply to
more than one development at a time. Mitchell-Lama apartments are sold or rented through waiting lists kept by each
development. Many Mitchell-Lama waiting lists are closed because there are already enough applicants listed to fill
vacancies expected in the foreseeable future. Periodically, these developments open their waiting lists and new
applications are accepted based on a lottery system. Mitchell-Lama developments must advertise when they open their
waiting lists. Check your local newspapers to find out when applications are being accepted.

Senior Residences with Services--Market Rate
Senior Residences with Services—Market Rate are commercial residences that offer apartment-type housing, i.e. usually
studios, efficiency, or one-bedroom apartments as private space, and a basic package of personal and housekeeping
services, which typically covers linen service, social programs, and two or three congregate meals a day. Additional
personal and home health services are available on an a la carte basis, including services for individuals with dementia in
some residences. At present, these facilities are not licensed and have no governmental oversight. Listings for this
category of housing can be found in the yellow pages and/or other directories.
Residences Subsidized Through Other Housing Programs/Funding Sources
Residences Subsidized Through Other Housing Programs/Funding Sources refers to rental apartments exclusively or
primarily occupied by seniors, which may or may not provide amenities and/or services intended for this age population.
A small number of units may be reserved for people with disabilities. Age requirements vary according to the residence.
The majority of buildings listed under this category participate in the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program,
which determines qualifying income levels and establishes the formula for calculating rent. Subsidized developments
listed under other sections of this booklet were funded through other housing programs, namely Section 202, MitchellLama, NYCHA, and Project-Based Section 8.
Single Room Occupancy Hotels (SROs)
SROs offer single adults permanent housing consisting of one or two small rooms with beds, and usually a shared
bathroom and/or kitchen. Most SROs accept any age group, and some SROs offer supportive services for residents with
special needs, including the mentally ill, homeless, or people with AIDS-related illnesses. Generally, tenants are referred
to an SRO through the New York City Department of Homeless Services (DHS), but a small percentage of the units may
be rented to low income adults in the community in need of housing.
Rehabilitated largely from dilapidated hotels, YMCAs/YWCAs, schools, and private houses, single room occupancy
hotels (SROs) serve as temporary or permanent housing for homeless and low-income persons. SRO units generally
Compiled by Health Advocates for Older People
New York, NY, 212.980.1700
http://www.hafop.org
14
Housing Opportunities for Older People in

consist of 1-2 furnished rooms. Bathrooms and kitchens are usually designed to be shared with other SRO units. At least
one bathtub or shower, one washbasin, and one toilet must be provided for every six SRO units. In addition, there must
be at least one bathroom facility on every floor where tenants reside. Maximum occupation is legally limited to 2 people
per residence, both of whom must be 16 years of age or older. Buildings may be predominantly intended for individuals
who are poor and have a specific set of common needs, such as persons with substance abuse problems or who are
mentally ill, AIDS patients, or senior citizens. Support services are typically provided, which may include addiction
counseling, educational workshops, and job mentoring. Buildings designated primarily for occupation by seniors may
offer meals, health education, transportation, case management, and health services.
When requesting information, always specify you are seeking SRO residences for the senior population. The following
organizations manage senior-SROs and may be able to suggest names of additional buildings operated by other nonprofit housing agencies for older adults. Ask whether a referral from the NYC Department of Homeless Services or a
community-based organization will be necessary.

Housing options for older people in New York State The overwhelming preference of older people is to age in place in their own homes and apartments, and most older people are able to do that. Aging in place can be a safe and successful experience if the physical aspects of a home accommodate a resident's physical and mental frailties, if the home is affordable, and if residents have easy access to necessary services and activities. For some older people, changes in their physical, emotional, or mental health, or in their family, social, or financial situations may compromise their ability to continue living where they are. Such changes may persuade an older person to consider relocating to a more supportive living environment. Whether choosing to age in place . . . or to relocate to another living environment, being an informed consumer-­‐by gathering appropriate information-­‐is critical to making the best housing choice, one that meets a person's needs and preferences.

The Process to Acquiring Housing
Joseph B. Breed, IV, formerly Executive Director of Saint Margaret’s House in New York, NY, graciously offers
these hints:
1. One should be aggressive, persistent and cheerful through the entire process.
2. Applicants will need to:
Be organized.
(Keep papers in an alphabetical file so that you may reach the ones you want in a moment’s notice.)
Organize your financial information. (Keep all receipts from rent and other monthly expenses, medical bills and
those relating to medically related conditions.) (Keep these papers filed by year.)
3. Think of an application as insurance for the future and apply now.
Get computer assistance if needed or for those who are computer-capable, prepare to use it in your search.
Ask friends, relatives and social workers for some tips. What do they know about specific homes?
Ask your Minister, Priest or Rabbi for help and suggestions.
Call aging/housing associations to find out more about them.
Call or visit the NYC Department of Aging.
4. Plan to apply to several/many housing sites, as many have waiting lists.
5. Determine your geographic areas of interest.
6. Be prepared to make visits and calls to each house where you want to apply.
7. Create a list of possible housing facilities.
8. When you visit:
Ask to meet with the manager/social worker in charge, collecting business cards and telephone numbers.
If appropriate, ask to be placed on the applications waiting list.
If there is no waiting list, ask when applications will be available or when there will be openings and call monthly.
9. Follow-up once your name has been placed on a waiting list. This lets the staff know of your active interest and
lets you know about any progress.
10. When receiving mail from an organization, respond immediately and certainly within their time framework.
11. Do not be late!
12. Read all materials to understand the conditions and process for applications.

13. Remember that no two housing settings are the same. Ask questions if there are things you do not understand.
Some Housing Myths:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
11.
I will never need the safe environment/assistance.
I need to be really old to apply.
If I need housing, I shall find it quickly!
I will never be accepted!
Elderly housing is depressing; everyone is dying.
I will never find a place I like.
I don’t have to visit the place first.
I can only apply to one place at a time.
I must live in the state of the facility.
I cannot transfer from one subsidized house to another.
An applicant can choose the apartment of his/her choice.
Questions to Ask and What to Watch Out for:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
Would I have to move out if I become frail, ill or disabled?
Are there accommodations for aging-in?
Are there rigid policies stating limitations?
What are the house rules? Read and understand them.
What are the Pet rules? Read and understand them.
Is there a meal program and what is the cost?
Be sure to read the Resident Rights Statement.
Prior to signing a lease, be sure to read a copy of the lease.
Is the apartment ready for occupancy?
One would want to see:
A clean, freshly painted apartment with safe or new floor coverings/finish
All systems cleaned and working properly (especially electricity and plumbing)
Functioning windows – try to open a bottom sash.

The Search for Affordable Housing - A Business Plan, 2014,
suggested by Joseph Breed, formerly Executive Director of St. Margaret's House, NY, NY
First Things First – Organize!
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
Organize yourself – set aside an area for paperwork.
Purchase a fine black tip marker (so you can read your writing)
Purchase some file folders and a pouch to hold them.
Acquire a small note book for address, names, numbers.
Develop a log book of calls you make for each Housing call.
Get business cards: Name, address, telephone, email address.
If you don’t have an email address, go to the library and learn how to create and access an email account – you
will need this.
8. Get a calendar for the housing search only.
Second – Find an assistant!
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
A younger person is ideal.
This assistant will accompany you on your trips to the various housing sites you have chosen.
Two sets of eyes, noses, ears is much, much better than one!
This is your assistant, so when the time comes, you do the talking.
If the conversation is directed to the younger person, redirect it to you.
The assistant should take notes for you as you will be far too busy to do so affectively.
The assistant should prompt you if you have forgotten to ask for something.
Third – Find Resources
1. Read the newspapers that advertise the opening of the application process for affordable housing – take notes –
plan to visit immediately and get details.
2. Go onto the web and look up HAFOP Housing Directory, by zip code.
3. Go to the NYC Department of Aging housing listings for names and numbers.

4. Go to your local social service agencies and enlist their assistance in identifying good housing opportunities in
you neighborhood that you will qualify for.
5. Choose five different agencies you think might be candidates.
6. First screen each agency by telephone and make notes on your impressions.
7. Open a file for each of these agencies as you will be visiting them and keeping a call log of when you have called.
Fourth – The Visit
1. Bring your assistant.
2. Dress up – look good – feel good – present well.
3. At the security desk or reception area, ask for the manager.
4. Present your business card – calling card.
5. If the manager is not avaiklable ask for the assistant or the social worker, admissions person.
6. If they are not available ask: “Who is available?”
7. Present that person with your card and ask to be placed on the waiting list.
8. No List! Ask how does your application process work? Make notes,
9. Ask for any literature, schedules etc.
10. Ask how often should you call to determine when the application process will begin.
11. Ask if you may wander around for a look see.
12. Talk to residents, visitors, staff, especially the security people who know everything that is happening.
13. Look for security equipment: cameras, video displays, locked doors, surveillance.
14. Look for good housekeeping, polite staff, happy, well adjusted, good looking residents, tenants.
15. Check out the neighborhood for easy to get to stores and safety, hills, lights.
Fifth – Homework
1. Back at home make notes in the file for the house you just visited.
2. Make plans for a second visit – you want to be known by the staff at the home and you want to see it at different
times with different people.
3. Note on your calendar your next visit, perhaps a moth away and your next phone call, perhaps six weeks down
the road.

4. 22If the application process is underway, make notes on your calendar of important deadline dates to be sure you
meet them.
5. If you don’t understand something do not be afraid to clarify what it is you want to understand: Be Bold!
6. Read the application process carefully and have your assistant read it and comment on it. Understand it.
7. Follow the instructions carefully – a missed date could cost you dearly!
Sixth – The Decision
1. Be flexible and nimble and when the opportunity come leap at it! Don’t hesitate! Affordable apartments are like
rare pearls and will be snatched up quickly.
2. When you go to sign the lease bring your assistant with you – this will stabilize the environment.
3. After signing the lease ask to see the apartment and check it out carefully.
4. Any apparent problems you see make known. Run the water, check for hot water, flush the toilet, check the
fridge, wall heating elements etc., etc. Remember: this apartment is now yours – get the keys and ask for the
house rules.
5. The home you get into may not be your first choice – but it is a beginning, move in.
6. When the favorite comes up and is available you can move into it at that time.
7. If you have a spell in rehab/nursing home keep your process moving, this where an assistant can be very helpful.
8. If you need to down size (who doesn’t?) do it, grit your teeth and start the old heave ho and get rid of whatever
you can. The lighter your load the easier it is to move.
9. Remember – This is a process, takes time, takes patience!
Good Luck!!

Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Plan Media (Met approval of federal regulators)
Suggested by Joseph Breed, formerly Executive Director of St. Margaret's House, NY, NY
These are the media outlets through which you will find listings for affordable housing that is about to become available.
The information will appear in the form of an announcement or an advertisement.
1. Indian Country Today (weekly)
2. Amsterdam News (weekly)
3. El Diario (daily)
4. Filipino Reporter (weekly)
5. Able Newspaper (monthly)
6. Irish Echo (weekly)
The rule of thumb: Look for papers and magazines that are focused on minority interests and members of our society.

However, you may choose to use the free links suggested above. Again, “buyer beware” this article was written in 2005 and changes may have occurred. •
Social workers can be very helpful and knowledgeable. New York City’s Department for the Aging (DFTA) http://www.nyc.gov/html/dfta/html/services/services.shtml has social workers in their Senior Centers. Case Management (for seniors who are frail or homebound) or Case Assistance (for those who are mobile) are also offered. Many hospitals have wonderful social work departments to help seniors after accidents or medical treatment. •

Housing Opportunities for Older People in
New York, New York, (Manhattan)
Health Advocates for Older People is a 501-©(3) non-profit organization founded in 1985 that provides the elderly of New
York City with the support, tools and techniques to live independently in their homes.
Our core activity is the HEALTHY AGING PROGRAM, which has over 800 participants. Programs are designed to promote
healthy aging through maintaining overall health, resiliency and humor. Preventing isolation and promoting community
involvement help to maintain independent living and maximize the quality of life. Free wellness and social activities for
participants include Arthritis exercises, Chair Yoga, Tai-Chi, Reiki, Alexander Technique and Ballroom Dancing. These
build flexibility, strength and balance. “Meet the Author” book events, current events discussions, movies, travelogues
and seasonal luncheons with entertainment all provide fun and the opportunity to be with others. In addition, there are
trips and tours to New York City cultural and historic sites.
A key focus of the Healthy Aging Program is to provide free home visits to discuss home safety and install modifications
such as bath/shower grab bars, shower chairs and other bathing aids, taping down rugs and making suggestions to
enable seniors to stay safely in their own homes. Living Comfortably and Safely at Home presentations are offered by our
Safe Environment Coordinator to discuss ways to make living at home easier for seniors.
Power of Attorney, Living Will and Health Care Proxy forms are provided. Our PERSONAL DATA ORGANIZER records vital
personal information in one place. For use in both routine and emergency situations, Health Advocate’s colorful IN CASE
OF EMERGENCY sleeve and wallet insert holds a personal health record and which can be carried at all times for easy
access and reference. ACCESS-A-RIDE application assistance is provided, assuring transportation to and from medical
and other important appointments, as well as offering rides to extracurricular activities, preventing isolation. We have a
Pet Program that provides emergency care for the pets of our participants.
