What are the similarities and differences among these three types of senior programs and do average program and personnel costs differ? We compared using data from the Department for the Aging, which contracts with providers to operate the senior programs.
This annual report contains the department’s activities with respect to supplemental nutrition assistance enrollment and recertification for seniors.
Covering a 6-month period, this report contains the total number of referrals received by APS, the number of referred individuals who were determined ineligible during the same period, and the reasons individuals were determined ineligible, a general description of the source of the referrals.
A number of the metrics are shaped by one or more underlying factors, so that discussion with DFTA
concerning such factors prior to undertaking data analyses is recommended, especially as this is a newly
created dataset in the version attached.
The New York City Department for the Aging's (DFTA) Annual Plan Summary provides a valuable opportunity for DFTA to annually share its goals, objectives and program planning with the aging network.
According to Local Law 97, DFTA must survey caregivers again in two years and every five years thereafter. As such, the ideas in this document are intended to be practical enough to be implemented, but fluid enough to meet the evolving needs and demographics of unpaid caregivers in New York City.
