ENRICHED HOUSING
Enriched Housing provides senior residents of an apartment building with a package of services that includes meals, housekeeping, homemaking/chores, shopping, transportation, social activities, and some personal care assistance. Enriched Housing programs may provide services for all residents or only for a limited number of residents in the building. (In the latter case, the building is not licensed but the Enriched Housing Program operating in it is licensed and regulated by the New York State Health Department.) |
