Program Description:

Currently, Canaan Baptist Church of Christ is the sponsor and contractor for the Canaan Senior Service Center, which provides services and nutritional aid for the senior residents of the surrounding community.

Located in Harlem, the center has become an important organization in the community through its work with the senior citizens it serves and assists. Through the visionary leadership of Dr. Wyatt Tee Walker, the Canaan Senior Service Center began in 1972 with a one-day-per- week program totally funded and staffed by volunteers of Canaan Baptist Church.

Since September 1975, the center has continued to be sponsored by the church, with a monthly contribution, but is funded by the New York City Department for the Aging (DFTA) for personnel services, meals, rent, utilities, raw foods, and other expenses such as consultants and Title V senior program aides. Personnel funds are provided from four sources, DFTA, Title V, Eastern Seals and Angel Guardians for the Elderly.

Canaan Senior Service Center staff provides daily comprehensive services Monday through Friday from 9:00 am. to 5:00 pm. These services include case assistance, entitlements counseling, information, referrals, escort services, shopping assistance, transportation, telephone reassurance calls to the isolated and home bound, friendly visits to the sick and shut-in, and education and recreation for the daily participants.

Program Description:

Encore Community Services was founded in 1977, by Sr. Lillian McNamara, Sr. Elizabeth Hasselt and Fr. George Moore to provide food, socialization and support for the elderly of the Hell’s Kitchen and Broadway communities. 

What started as a single community center in the basement of St. Malachy’s Church has since grown into a multipurpose, nonsectarian agency providing a comprehensive array of programs and services to elderly New Yorkers. Each year Encore provides over 400,000 meals; both on-site, at our senior center and delivered directly to our homebound members.

In addition to providing meals and social services to the elderly, Encore also operates the Encore 49 and Encore West Residences. The Encore 49 Residence provides an SRO-style supportive housing facility for formerly homeless seniors with special needs. In a safe, clean and caring environment, residents are provided with their own units, and a range of mental health services. The Encore West Residence provides 84 independent housing units for the very low-income elderly.

Encore strives to provide a safe and welcoming environment to any senior that may need us, from meals, to social services, to housing; Encore’s philosophy remains the same: “By nurturing, respecting and enabling, Encore hopes to improve the quality of life of older New Yorkers in need, in an approach that emanates from the core of Encore’s commitment: we believe that what we do comes from the heart and the heart is the center of all.”

Encore also reaches out to elderly who are homebound, who no longer are able to make the trip to a senior center, or who have little or no access to support services. By providing a comforting voice over the phone, or a friendly face who pays a visit, outreach efforts may enable a senior to remain at home and also assists with reinforcing independence.

The potential effect of this may be to lessen the chance of premature institutionalization, allowing the senior to remain “at home” with needed social supports.

Established in 1968, NYFSC is the only non-profit, non-sectarian organization serving New York’s seniors in all five boroughs. 

NYFSC continues to grow. From modest beginnings of one social worker and one bookkeeper, the organization now has more than 1,500 employees to address the needs of the City’s seniors. NYFSC manages 35 social service programs, in addition to more than 900 units of housing. This important work is made possible with the leadership of our Board and the amazing efforts of NYFSC’s staff.

Program Description:

Hearts and Hands is the premier volunteer organization serving our frail or vulnerable neighbors in rural and suburban Western New York communities.

For too many of our older neighbors in Erie and Niagara Counties, losing the ability to drive means losing access to critical health care, necessary grocery trips and much-needed social interactions. Additionally, people who live below the poverty level, have Medicaid, or live in rural areas have a more difficult time accessing medical care and healthy food.

Through its transportation services Hearts and Hands increases access to medical care, food, and opportunities for physical and social activity.

We accomplish this by providing transportation that meets the unique needs of older adults living in the suburban and rural areas of Erie and Niagara Counties. Volunteers use their personal vehicles to provide door through door escorted transportation for our care receivers.
Our care receivers do not need computers, smart phones or internet access to request services.

Today, MAS currently manages Medicaid transportation for approximately 5,100,000 Medicaid enrollees in New York State, which is approximately 7 percent of the national Medicaid population (source: Kaiser Family Foundation). 

MAS takes a team approach including assigning regional Medicaid administrators, assistant regional Medicaid administrators, field liaisons, bus pass and mileage reimbursement administrators, as well as commercial travel and quality assurance staff directly to each region and to specific counties within each region it manages. MAS works closely with medical practitioners and transportation providers to ensure that Medicaid enrollees are provided courteous and professional transportation.

In 2004, MAS managed Medicaid transportation for the Onondaga County Department of Social Services. Over the next six years, MAS added Monroe, Sullivan, Niagara, Oneida, Dutchess, Orleans, Ulster, and Cayuga to its portfolio.

In 2011, New York State redesigned its Medicaid program, dividing the state into six regional initiatives.

MAS won the first contract awarded under this new structure, and signed on to provide non-emergency Medicaid transportation (NEMT) in the Hudson Valley region. 

In 2013, MAS was awarded the Medicaid transportation management contract for the 24 county Finger Lakes Northern NY region.
The WNY region was awarded to MAS in 2014.

In 2016 MAS was awarded second five-year contract to manage Medicaid transportation for the Hudson Valley region.

In 2017, MAS was awarded a five-year contract for Medicaid transportation management services in New York City.

The four New York State regions for which MAS currently manages Medicaid transportation for NYSDOH includes approximately 5,100,000 Medicaid enrollees, thousands of medical practitioners and over a thousand transportation providers.

Program Description:

The purpose of WestFair Rides (WFR) is to help meet the transportation needs of older adults and vision-impaired adults of Westchester County, NY and western Fairfield County, CT by creating a network of sustainable, community-based, volunteer transportation services. 

Our goal is to promote lifelong safety, independence and mobility through mutually supportive, collaborative relationships with aging in place organizations, town recreation, public transportation, private livery, ParaTansit and other transportation providers and services in our region.

Program Description:

In the mid-1970’s, the Syracuse community found that it needed to build a new school to serve the area and enrich its future. However, this project would potentially be disruptive to the neighborhood. 

To overcome this, city leaders decided that establishing a community center near the school would resolve local conflicts and provide opportunities for growth.

Thus, in 1978, the Syracuse Northeast Community Center was introduced. Since then, it has provided an array of services to the residents and families of Syracuse’s northeast quadrant. The relationship between the Center and the community has paid continuous dividends as the SNCC follows its mission to serve the health, social, economic, recreational and crisis intervention needs of area residents.

SNCC’s senior programs are designed to help older adults stay active and live independently. SNCC has assisted seniors in maintaining autonomous control over their lives by providing direct services and social experiences in and outside of our neighborhood-based Community Center.
