Do you need some assistance taking care of yourself or know someone who does in order to continue living at home? The Department for the Aging funds local case-management agencies to provide in-home services for residents ages 60 and older.

Case Management

A local case management agency that is contracted to serve the older adult’s neighborhood will perform a phone intake for requested services and a case manager will conduct an in-home visit to determine eligibility and coordinate services.

Eligible residents can receive the following:

  • Assistance applying for benefits and entitlements
  • Linkages to community resources
  • NYC Aging-funded Home-delivered meals
  • NYC Aging-funded Home care (Medicaid recipients are ineligible for this service)
    • Personal care such as bathing and dressing
    • Housekeeping such as laundry and shopping
  • NYC Aging's Friendly Visiting Program
  • Counseling on long-term care issues
  • NYC Aging’s Nutrition Counseling

Case managers don't charge for their time, but depending on your income, you will be asked to pay a fee or to make a suggested contribution for some types of services. Find a case-management agency near you or call Aging Connect at 212-AGING-NYC (212-244-6469).
