The New York State Office for the Aging's (NYSOFA's) home and community-based programs provide older adults with access to a well-planned, coordinated package of in-home and other supportive services designed to support and supplement informal care. NYSOFA's overall goal is to improve access to, and availability of, appropriate and cost-effective non-medical support services for older individuals to maximize their ability to age in their community and avoid higher levels of care and publicly financed care. NYSOFA achieves this through our network of 59 area agencies on aging. This network provides the following core services in coordination with local partners: 

• Home delivered meals (HDM)
• Congregate meals
• Nutrition counseling and education
• Senior center programming
• Health promotion and wellness
• Evidence Based Interventions (EBIs)
• Volunteer opportunities
• Respite and caregiver supports
• Legal Services
• Home modifications, repairs 
• Elder abuse prevention and mitigation
• NY Connects

• Personal Care Level I and II 
• Case management
• Ancillary services, such as Personal Emergency Response System (PERS) and assistive devices
