Greetings!

Register Here for our January webinar:
NY Connects: Your Link to Long-Term Services and Support,  presented by Viola Lipscomb, Coordinator of Long-Term Care at the Albany County Department of Social Services (DSS).

This presentation will focus on the functions of NY Connects, which is a state-wide initiative that requires every county in New York to have a program. It is a free resource for individuals, caregivers and professionals searching for community-based programs for those who want to age in place. The program provides residents with information, assistance, referrals and linkages to community-based organizations that provide long term services and supports, and also serves as the intake line for adult abuse referrals. The program helps older adults, individuals of all ages with disabilities, as well as caregivers connect with services and providers that will help them thrive in their homes and communities. This presentation will discuss NY Connects infrastructure, its partnerships, core functions, and available resources to help people age in place.  While Ms. Lipscomb is based in Albany County, the core functions and responsibilities of NY Connects are the same across the state. She will also provide information on how to locate resources in your area.

This webinar is listed as 9 am EST, but it takes place at 8 am EDT, which accounts for the snafu.  Please register for this event and support YOUR NY Chapter.
