Heights and Hills

Our mission is to support older adults to age successfully in their Brooklyn communities. To age successfully, one needs to have: Financial security – having enough money to pay one’s bills. Food security – having sufficient food and nutrition. Access to health care – being able to get to and pay for doctors and medication. A safe, affordable, and comfortable place to live. One’s basic tasks of daily life accomplished – from bathing to bill-paying. Social supports that prevent isolation. Our mission and values have remained steadfast since 1971. We believe that older adults are valuable contributing members of their communities, who are entitled to live as independently as possible with dignity and personal choice. We believe that professionally delivered home-based and community-based social services are essential for maintaining the health and wellbeing of older adults. We believe that support for family caregivers is critical in keeping older adults healthy, at home, and connected to family and community. We believe that engaging community volunteers to provide social interaction for their older neighbors contributes to increased health, satisfaction and longevity. We believe that by bringing youth and older adults together in intergenerational programs not only gives youth a knowledge and appreciation of the challenges of aging, but also strengthens the bonds between generations and brightens the lives of older Brooklynites.
