Independence Care System

Independence Care System supports seniors and adults with disabilities to live at home and participate in community life in New York.

Independence Care System is dedicated to supporting senior adults and adults with physical disabilities and chronic conditions to live at home and participate fully in community life. The organization works to ensure that individuals with various needs can maintain their independence and remain active members of their neighborhoods. For those seeking assistance with navigating health and social service systems, Wheeling Forward steps in to help recently disabled people who lack a support system and resources to obtain the services they need, addressing each person's diverse needs as they adapt to long-term disability. Additionally, United Spinal Association is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life of all people living with spinal cord injuries and disorders, including veterans, by providing support, information, and programs that maximize independence and enable community participation. ADAPT Community Network, formerly United Cerebral Palsy of New York City, offers cutting-edge programs and services across all five boroughs to build a more inclusive world through education, technology, health, residential, and recreational initiatives. The Cerebral Palsy Foundation also transforms lives through research, innovation, and collaboration for people with cerebral palsy. These groups collectively promote physical and emotional well-being, providing venues for fitness and peaceful respite for the widest possible audience within New York City's parks and community networks.
