New York City Department for the Aging
If you are a New Yorker, 60 and over, important areas of your life could well be enhanced by options offered through the Department for the Aging.
There are choices that help toward more independence and challenges for greater productivity. For example, you may be eligible for exemption from a rent increase; you may need a home-delivered meal or home care services; or you may seek employment that is rewarding.
You may want to volunteer your services to others, join a local senior center, or participate in a Department event.
Or maybe you just need solid answers to some vital questions from a reliable source.
The Department for the Aging's Web site lists programs and services tailored to a variety of specific needs that many of the 1.3 million older New Yorkers may want now or in the future.
