We make sure caregivers get the help and guidance they need.

We seek solutions to everyday needs like housing and transportation that affect overall health. Improve Patient Care and Track Results: We measure how well we are doing by checking services such as: Dementia caregiver support Fall risk assessments Safe pain management Chronic diabetes and high blood pressure management Cancer screenings Medication safety Where We Are Based SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University: Brooklyn’s only academic medical center, located in East Flatbush.

Find Brooklyn Older Adult Centers offering meals, activities, wellness programs, social connection, and support services for adults age 60 and older. ¿Qué son los Centros para Adultos Mayores (CAA)? Los centros para adultos mayores (OAC, por sus siglas en inglés), también conocidos como centros para personas mayores, son organizaciones comunitarias que ofrecen comidas saludables, actividades divertidas, clases, programas de acondicionamiento físico y servicios sociales para personas de 60 años o más. Estos centros tienen como objetivo promover la participación social, la salud y el bienestar, y la independencia continua de los adultos mayores. La membresía es GRATUITA para todos los neoyorquinos mayores de 60 años. En los cinco distritos de la ciudad de Nueva York, existen más de 300 Centros para Adultos Mayores (CAA), y en Brooklyn, aproximadamente 106. Muchos adultos mayores se sienten más sanos, más positivos y menos aislados socialmente después de unirse a un CAA. Los OAC brindan oportunidades para Socialization and Recreation: OACs provide opportunities for older adults to connect with their peers, participate in group activities, and build social networks. OACs offer a variety of fun activities and classes to teach new skills that could include: Arts and crafts Music and theater arts Computer classes Games like dominos, bingo, chess, and ping-pong Gardening Recreational day trips Holiday and birthday celebrations And much more! Fitness Programs: OACs keep members active with fitness programs and evidence-based classes. Some programs you might find at your local OAC could include: Walking clubs Yoga Chair exercises Tai chi Dance classes and Zumba Health and Wellness: OACs offer health screenings, training and workshops on nutrition, health prevention, and managing chronic illnesses. Chronic disease self-management for arthritis, diabetes, & high blood pressure Falls prevention workshops Presentations on cardiovascular health, stress, and other health issues. Support and Social Services: OACs often provide information and referrals, and connections to city and federal programs and services and assist members with resources and programs, including accessing benefits like Medicare/Medicaid, SCRIE, and SNAP. Educational and Recreational Activities: These can include arts and crafts, music programs, educational workshops, and technology training. Meals: Many OACs offer congregate meals, grab-and-go options, or both. Community Engagement: OACs facilitate volunteer opportunities for older adults and encourage participation in community events. Transportation: Some centers offer transportation services to and from the center, as well as provide transportation services for essential medical and social appointments for those who lack access to transportation or can't use public transit. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: The NYC Department for the Aging is dedicated to promoting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and funds OACs for special populations, including: The SAGE Centers for LGBTQ+ seniors and the Queens Center for Gay Seniors. Additionally, VISIONS at Selis Manor Senior Center supports blind and visually impaired older adults. Please note that services, classes, virtual programs, and schedules differ at individual OACs. We recommend you contact your local OAC for more information or call Aging Connect at 212-AGING-NY (212-244-6469) for more information.
