'Learn About' Help

This section of the website is set up like an online library. It is comprised of a wide variety of topics and important issues as related to eldercare and persons with disabilities. As such, this part of the site is dedicated to information as opposed to services. In addition, the information you’ll find here deals with national topics as related to senior adults and persons with disabilities as well as state and regional topics.

Topic areas include the following: Assistive Technology, Civil Rights, Community Life, Education, Employment, Financial Benefits, Health, Housing, NY Connects: The Point of Entry for Long Term Care, & Transportation.
