Find older adult services in New York City

1. Find help in your borough

Start with NYC Aging’s Find Help directory for local older adult services.

NY Connects provides information about long-term services and supports. Share your borough, ZIP code, language preferences and the help you need.

Explore NYC in-home services or caregiver support. Confirm eligibility and availability directly.

2. Prepare to ask for help

Before contacting an organisation, have the person’s location, the type of help needed and a short description of the situation ready.

What services are available locally?
Who can use them, and how do we apply?
Are there fees or waiting lists?
Can you refer us if you do not offer what we need?
What should we do next?

When a service mentions Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance or another funding source, ask it to explain what applies to this particular service and person. Do not assume that one programme covers every type of help.

3. Compare options and take the next step

Keep a record of each enquiry: the organisation, help offered, eligibility, any fees and the agreed next step.

Next step: Explore home care in the United States.
