The Social Service Unit provides comprehensive services to both ambulatory and homebound individuals who reside on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. The programs include assistance with benefits and entitlements, advocacy, and end-of-life planning. Referrals are made to supportive services including home care services, home-delivered meals and socialization opportunities that enable the older individual to remain in their home safely and maintain a high quality-of-life. We also hold monthly group meetings for support, discussions, and socialization activities.
Our catchment area is 57th to 96th Street, Fifth Avenue to the East River.

Support & Discussion groups
ATTENTION: Our Social Service Support Groups are suspended until further notice.
The Social Service Unit (SSU) offers various groups for support, discussion, and socialization. Through these groups, older adults can gather in a safe and welcoming environment to share experiences and advice. These groups can help older adults cope with stress and feel less isolated as it provides opportunities to connect with others facing similar challenges or develop friendships with those who have similar interests.
