Programmatic Resources

The following posters, toolkits and guides are resources that the Department for the Aging's community partners have found useful as they work with us to create successful programs and provide services to older adults.

Older Adult Center Bill of Rights

All NYC Aging funded older adult centers are required by City law to post and honor the older adult Bill of Rights.

Elder Abuse Awareness

A study from NYC Aging and other organizations found that 76 in 1,000 older New York state residents were victims of elder abuse during a one-year period. A NYC Aging ad campaign that portrays elder abuse also raises awareness about the issue.
