"This is the first book that targets the "true older" New Yorker
who may need to access a social service program one day and plan a
trip the next day. A truly invaluable and timely guide."
"--Adeena Besdin
Expert on Eldercare"
"Take Charge! is a major contribution to older adults, their
families, and professionals in the New York City area."
"--Helen Miller
Director of HealthOutreach"
For people over the age of sixty, New York City is a cluttered
attic-a mess of valuables that cannot be ignored, but that for the
most part remains buried in jargon, agencies, regulations, and
eligibility forms. New York City is, after all, a place that offers
seniors everything from discount tickets for Broadway shows to
social service agencies for those who speak foreign languages
including Spanish, Cantonese or Tagalog. It is a place of endless
benefits for those who can dig through the junk in the attic,
organize what is there and still have the desire to leave the
house.
Take Charge! The Complete Guide to Senior Living in New York
City is the first book to gather, in a single volume, information
and advice for people over sixty who want to make the most of the
city. Here at last is an all-inclusive guide that addresses every
concern for senior New Yorkers, from entertainment and healthcare
to housing and taxes. Take Charge! reaches beyond merely listing
phone numbers and programs to giving advice on a number of areas,
from choosing an HMO, a reverse mortgage, or an elder law attorney,
to receiving travel discounts and negotiating home care.
Containing everything a person over sixty needs to know to make
the most of life in New York City, Take Charge! is the
onlycomprehensive guide available for New York seniors and their
families.
