With the generous support of the Fan Fox & Leslie R. Samuels Foundation, the Y is launching the Aging in Place Outreach Network (APON) to build a network of local community members who will be trained to recognize signs that their older neighbors could use additional help or need assistance at home.
Upon referral, the Y will provide a thorough psychological assessment, crisis intervention, and trauma-informed care. The Y may also complete a safety audit on an apartment to limit falls, help recover lost benefits after a spouse passes away, provide transportation to and from medical appointments, or deliver emergency meals.
The Y is committed to enhancing the lives of people of all ages and backgrounds in our community. With 29% of older adults in Washington Heights and Inwood living below the poverty line, your donation today can help the Y continue to be a lifeline for our vulnerable neighbors.
