Seniors

Our seniors create a home away from home that reflects the cultures and wisdom of their diverse experiences. The result is a second family of leaders, learners and advocates that make our community strong and vibrant.New Yorkers aged 60 and better, along with their partners, are welcome to join our free and open programs and services. Our commitment to affordable supportive housing, sustaining aging communities, and hosting gatherings and fellowship is all to create a feeling of home.

What We Do

GETTING CONNECTED

One of the best parts about coming to our Community Center is sharing it with others. Sharing stories, dance steps or meals means making friends of all ages. Inter-generational learning and shared celebrations connect community members of all ages, from early childhood participants to older seniors.Daily activities in English, Spanish and Chinese feature cultures and traditions from around the world through art, dance, music, games and food. Opportunities to learn new skills – from calligraphy to computers – open more ways to connect with friends both near and far away.

ENSURING SECURITY

One-on-one appointments with our staff get you the support and services you need, and help you advocate for yourself and family. We can help navigate legal and financial counseling, benefits and entitlements screenings, tax services, and more.

ELEVATING HEALTH

Our holistic approach to well-being shows you all the different ways you can improve your health. The staff, caseworkers and social workers in our family share self-care strategies and help navigate health challenges to get you the care you need.Join us for fresh, healthy meals served morning and noon every weekday and daily fitness opportunities to keep your mind sharp and body strong. We have flavors, rhythms and traditions from across the globe – and we want you to add to them.
