AGING IN PLACE OUTREACH NETWORK (APON)!
At the Aging in Place Outreach Network (APON), we understand that aging in place can be challenging, especially when you need assistance with daily activities. This is where we come in – our mission is to provide comprehensive support to older adults in the Washington Heights, Inwood, and Marble Hill communities who want to age in place.
If you are an older adult who needs assistance to continue living safely and independently at home, APON is here to help. Our Outreach Coordinator, Michelle Gomez, fluent in both English and Spanish, will work with you to set up a home-based assessment to determine your needs and how the Y can provide support, as well as make external referrals if necessary.
We understand that every individual has unique needs and preferences, so we tailor our services to meet each client’s specific requirements. Whether you need help with household chores, transportation, or healthcare, we are here to assist you in maintaining your health, safety, and dignity as you age in place.
Our goal is to provide you with the support you require to continue living independently in your own home, surrounded by the community you know and love. We are committed to providing comprehensive support to older adults in our community. If you are an older adult who needs assistance, please feel free to contact us. We are here to help you age in place with dignity, respect, and support.

JOIN OUR NETWORK!
We are excited to announce that we are expanding our team to serve better the Washington Heights, Inwood, and Marble Hill communities. As part of our commitment to providing comprehensive support to older adults who want to age in place, we’re building a network of community members who recognize signs that their older neighbors need assistance at home.
As a partner in our network, you will play a vital role in identifying older adults who may need support to age in place while maintaining their health, safety, and dignity. Our Outreach Coordinator will provide you with training materials and adapt them to develop presentations appropriate to your community.
After completing the training, you and your organization will be able to refer older adults to us for assistance. When a referral is made, our Outreach Coordinator will reach out to the new client and set up a home-based assessment to determine their needs and how the Y can provide support.
