Home Safety Services

We hope that you are enjoying the many programs that we have available for our members. Our community of older adults has grown to over 1,600 active participants and we are excited to be providing so many opportunities to assist you and others in aging with vitality and independence. The pandemic put a temporary hold on all of our lives, but we are once again witnessing our members moving about and actively participating in our online and in-person programs.

We are aware that falls among New York City’s elderly population have increased in frequency. In fact, more than one out of four older people falls each year, and falling once more than doubles a senior’s likelihood of falling again.

It is our ambitious goal to continue providing Home Safety and Fall Prevention services and we recently hired Josh Krasner as our Home Safety and Fall Prevention Coordinator to head up this endeavor as part of our Healthy Aging Program. Since August, Josh has been working with Rosemary Bakker, our Home Therapeutic Modification Coordinator, to increase the number of individuals receiving home safety consultations and assistance in making their homes a safer environment for daily activities.

We invite you to contact us to speak with Josh about ways to help ensure that your home is arranged and outfitted with the required amenities needed to keep you safe and free of any hazards that might result in a fall.

Please call us on 212-980-1700 in order to arrange a time to speak with Josh. We would be delighted to help you in making your home as safe as possible.
