Senior Helpers Program¶
Job-matching service: anyone may hire a Senior Helper (workers 55+), e.g. for help around the home or driving.
The Senior Helpers Program helps older individuals continue living at home by helping with chores they can no longer do for themselves.
Questions to ask the program¶
These are questions to ask the program, not a verdict on your eligibility. Confirm the current rules directly with the program.
- Does the person receiving care live in New York? Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
- Is there a caregiver-specific department, coordinator, or support line? Ask for it by name. Many agencies have one that isn’t advertised on the website.
- What documents do you need from us to start an application?
- Is there a waitlist right now, and how long is it?
What this record does not yet say¶
