    "We witness firsthand the challenges that our older participants face when they come to us, usually because they no longer have family to turn to after such long periods of incarceration: physical health issues that might be less severe if treated properly sooner; unaddressed trauma, greatly exacerbated by incarceration; lack of financial resources; and homelessness."

  • Amid Inflation and Increased Demand, Human Services Workers Struggle with Burnout

    Citywide, workers at nonprofits under contract to provide support and essential services to New Yorkers at a time of unprecedented crisis say they feel overworked, overwhelmed and burnt out. As costs continue to increase around them, many have said their low wages make it difficult to justify staying in the sector, even with a recent pay bump from the city and state.

    Opinion: What Older New Yorkers Deserve In the Next Phase of the COVID-19 Pandemic

    "We must ensure that New York City’s growing population of 1.25 million adults ages 65 and older can access high-quality services, resources, and opportunities that accommodate their needs and preferences, celebrate their strengths and resilience, and empower them to live in the communities they helped build and continue to make meaningful contributions to."

  • Opinion: We Must Invest in Mental Health Care for Older New Yorkers

    The reality is that many older adults have already survived trauma—and those experiences carry so much wisdom, perspective, and resilience to share as a result. Investments to increase access to mental health support for seniors would go a long way.

  • Opinion: The New Administration Must Invest in Older New Yorkers—& The Nonprofits Serving Them

  • What’s Driving the Shortage of Home Healthcare Workers in NY? Low Wages, Advocates Say

    “People who do this work love it. You have to love working with people,” says State Assemblymember Karines Reyes, who is a nurse. But she adds, "If you can get a job doing work that’s not as heavy and not as demanding and make more money, why wouldn’t you?”

  • Company Settles With Home Health Aides Seeking Unpaid Wages For Round-the-Clock Care

    State guidelines and federal regulations mandate that home health aides working 24 hours at a client’s home get eight hours for sleep and three hours of meal breaks, all unpaid. But many workers say the rule routinely leads to underpayment because their patients actually need constant care, leaving the aides little time to sleep or take breaks.

  • Opinion: Medicare Advantage is a Disadvantage for New York’s Municipal Retirees

    'While Medicare Advantage plans are required to cover everything covered by original Medicare, they aren’t required to cover them in the same way or for the same price.'
