Description
Park Slope Geriatric Day Center was established in 1983 as a freestanding, nonprofit, community-based agency to provide services to older adults who have "aged out" of traditional senior centers but want to stay active in their community. PSGDC is a recognized leader in the field. Today our services include social day programming at two facilities, a hot meal program, handicapped accessible transportation, and case management.
The Family Resource and Adult Day Services Center, opened in 1999 and was designed and built specifically for the Alzheimer's and dementia programs.
In the fall of 2002, the New York City Department for the Aging chose 11 agencies to host specially funded programs to support caregivers of older persons, including spouses and children of aging parents. PSGDC was chosen and began the Family Caregiver Project, which serves a band of Brooklyn neighborhoods from Brooklyn Heights to Sheepshead Bay.
