Integrity Senior Services
Our staff includes licensed social workers, psychologists, and clinical nurse specialists. We provide counseling and auxiliary services to seniors, the disabled, caregivers, and their families. ISS is committed to helping our clients develop the coping skills necessary to function at one’s maximum ability by providing in-home counseling services.
Our Counselors help clients find renewed enjoyment in life and increased emotional well-being. Counseling may also eliminate the behavioral problems that come with chronic ailments, such as Alzheimer’s disease. By addressing the mental health needs of seniors, the disabled, and caregivers, counseling can help lessen the frequency of hospitalization and enhance one’s social life.
New York State Office For The Aging
As an agency of City government and an Area Agency on Aging under the federal Administration on Aging, DFTA receives federal, state and city funds to provide essential services for seniors. It channels these monies to community-based organizations that contract with the Department to provide needed programs locally throughout the five boroughs. Hot meals and activities at senior centers, home-delivered meals, case management, home care, transportation and legal services are among the services these programs provide. DFTA manages the contracts with these programs and ensures service quality.
