However, in a city with as many dynamic organizations and programs as ours we know we must have missed important resources. Over time it is common for organizations to move, phone numbers to change, and programs to close or change. Please feel free to contact Senator Krueger’s office at (212) 490-9535 or [email protected] if there are additional resources you think should be included in the next edition, or if the information you find in this guide has changed. i Fall 2019 Dear Community Member, It is hard to believe that this is the Eighth Edition of our Senior Resource Guide - the most comprehensive guide to resources for older adults in our community. You will find expanded information about aging in place, LGBTQ resources, health care, employment, veterans’ benefits and many other topics. You will also find additional resources on consumer protection, continuing education, cultural activities, employment, housing, and much more. As in the past, I find my office constantly receiving requests for the guide. This Eighth Edition can also be accessed online by going to https://www.nysenate.gov/senators/liz-krueger where you can obtain an electronic copy and sign up for LizList to receive e-mail updates from me. It is so important for older adults to be informed about the benefits and entitlements they have earned throughout their lifetimes, as well as ways to increase their quality of life. That is the goal of everyone who contributed to this new and expanded Eighth Edition. One of my most important resources continues to be the input I receive from each of you. It is a great privilege to represent your interests and concerns in Albany and I am always eager to hear from you. I encourage you to contact my office at (212) 490-9535 or [email protected] with any questions or comments. We have done our best to make this guide as comprehensive and accurate as possible. Over time, organizations move, phone numbers change, and programs close or change, while new programs become available. If there are resources that you are looking for and cannot find in this guide, please contact my office and my staff will be happy to help find you the information you need. Sincerely, Liz Krueger State Senator ii The information in this publication is provided as a resource for older adults and their caregivers in New York City, but is not intended as an endorsement of any organization or service. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Advocacy & Action Groups .............................................................................................. 1 Aging in Place Resources

    September 27, 2021 COVID-19 Vaccine News & Infoi TIMELY UPDATES • New York State launched an outreach and implementation plan to ensure the availability and accessibility of booster doses statewide on Monday, September 27, 2021. The plan also includes a new dedicated website: NY.gov/Boosters • The director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday, September 24, 2021 reversed a recommendation by an agency advisory panel that did not endorse booster shots of the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid vaccine for frontline and essential workers. Occupational risk of exposure will now be part of the consideration for the administration of boosters, which is consistent with the FDA determination. See: CDC Statement CDC recommends: o people 65 years and older and residents in long-term care settings should receive a booster shot of Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine at least 6 months after their Pfizer-BioNTech primary series, o people aged 50–64 years with underlying medical conditions should receive a booster shot of Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine at least 6 months after their Pfizer-BioNTech primary series, o people aged 18–49 years with underlying medical conditions may receive a booster shot of Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine at least 6 months after their Pfizer-BioNTech primary series, based on their individual benefits and risks, and o people aged 18-64 years who are at increased risk for COVID-19 exposure and transmission because of occupational or institutional setting may receive a booster shot of Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine at least 6 months after their Pfizer-BioNTech primary series, based on their individual benefits and risks.

NYC Official Visitor Guide A Letter from the Mayor Dear Friends: As temperatures dip, autumn turns the City’s abundant foliage to brilliant colors, providing a beautiful backdrop to the five boroughs. Neighborhoods like Fort Greene in Brooklyn, Snug Harbor on Staten Island, Long Island City in Queens and Arthur Avenue in the Bronx are rich in the cultural diversity for which the City is famous. Enjoy strolling through these communities as well as among the more than 700 acres of new parkland added in the past decade. Fall also means it is time for favorite holidays. Every October, NYC streets come alive with ghosts, goblins and revelry along Sixth Avenue during Manhattan’s Village Halloween Parade. The pomp and pageantry of Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in November make for a high-energy holiday spectacle. And in early December, Rockefeller Center’s signature tree lights up and beckons to the area’s shoppers and ice-skaters. The season also offers plenty of relaxing options for anyone seeking a break from the holiday hustle and bustle.
