AGE-FRIENDLY NYC: New Commitments For A City For All Ages

- 발행년도: 2017년

- 발행처: The New York Department of Aging

- 주요내용: The de Blasio Administration has increased funding for aging services by more than 58 percent. That is an overall increase in the baseline City Tax Levy funding of more than $82 million. This increased funding has benefited senior centers, case management services that help homebound seniors, home-delivered meals, Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities (NORCs) that are not age-restricted housing locations that are home to significant concentrations of older adults who have aged in place, elder abuse programs, transportation services, and many other important services.

These critically important investments will help older residents live healthier and more fulfilling lives as they age in the City they love, continuing to contribute in myriad ways to making New York a better place to grow up and grow old. By 2040, one in every five New Yorkers will be 60 or older. Supporting needed and cutting edge solutions that promote healthy aging today will enable the City to reap all of the benefits that tomorrow’s older residents have to offer. .
