Enriching the Lives of Older Adults

Supporting older adults to experience an optimal quality of life.

Goddard Riverside’s programs for older adults help men and women age in their homes while staying active, social, and healthy.

Our Meals on Wheels programs deliver seven meals a week to people who face significant challenges in cooking for themselves.

The Older Adult Centers are vibrant communities offering social activities, exercise, outings, and nutritious reduced-price meals.

Our NORCs (Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities) provide on-site support, wellness programs, and social services for older adults living in select affordable housing cooperatives and NYCHA communities across Manhattan. Goddard Riverside supports residents aging in place through four community-based locations on Manhattan’s Upper West and Upper East Sides. Services include case management, nursing, nutrition, exercise, educational workshops, social activities, trips, and individualized support from social workers.

Phelps House provides 167 units of affordable housing for older adults and people with mobility impairments. It also offers a range of supportive services for longtime tenants who have aged into their 70s, 80s, and 90s.
