"If you are a New Yorker, 60 and over, important areas of your life could well be enhanced by options offered through the Department for the Aging.

There are choices that help toward more independence and challenges for greater productivity.  For example, you may be eligible for exemption from a rent increase; you may need a home-delivered meal or home care services; or you may seek employment that is rewarding.

You may want to volunteer your services to others, join a local senior center, or participate in a Department event.

Or maybe you just need solid answers to some vital questions from a reliable source.

The Department for the Aging's Web site lists programs and services tailored to a variety of specific needs that many of the 1.3 million older New Yorkers may want now or in the future."

"Today, TGB is a complex mix of reporting on every aspect of aging: health and medical issues, ageism and age discrimination, media, technology, politics and public policy, culture, marketing to elders, the importance of language, love and sex, friendship, post-career careers, retirement, family, the prospect of death and, certainly, humor.

A large community of elderbloggers has developed over these five years, old people writing on their blogs about their past and present lives, interests and passions, and I’m most grateful for the growing number of TGB readers whose comments, conversation and argument here are creating a remarkable record of what it’s really like to get old."   - Ronni Bennett
