The ARC Older Adult Center is dedicated to connecting people in Upper Manhattan with the services they need to grow older with confidence, grace, and vitality. Based at ARC XVI Fort Washington, the center provides essential assistance to support the aging population in the community. Our team of caseworkers offers information and application help for Federal, State, and New York City benefits and entitlements, ensuring residents can access the resources necessary for a secure and dignified retirement. We believe that with the right support, seniors can maintain their independence and continue to contribute to society. The center focuses on empowering elders by removing barriers to essential services, fostering a sense of community, and promoting well-being through proactive engagement. By assisting with complex benefit applications and providing clear guidance, we help older adults navigate the systems that impact their daily lives. Our mission is to create an environment where seniors feel valued and supported, allowing them to live with dignity and purpose. We welcome individuals interested in serving the elderly population and making a tangible difference in the lives of Upper Manhattan residents.
