Welcome to BAiP's Reference Library

4/30/2020

 
As an important part of its mission, BAiP offers resources of many kinds to its members with the goal of helping neighbors lead safe and comfortable lives as we age in place.  There are a lot of NYC agencies and providers whose full-time job is to find and maintain resources for seniors.  A prime contact is the Department For The Aging.  Their resource guide is here.  And the New York Statewide Senior Action Council is also a good source of information.  The National Aging in Place Council is a senior support network.  And finally, the Manhattan Borough President's Office publishes a guide called "Age-Smart Manhattan: Senior Resources for Better Living" and a "Help Guide" of useful telephone numbers.

Being able to age in place relies on some retirement planning basics and you will find some resources in this library.  But a good place to start is the Social Security Administration and its retirement planner.

We also have a brief directory of other organizations that may suit our members' needs.

The U.S. Administration on Aging has a website called Eldercare Locator to connect you to resources.  They may be reached by phone at 800-677-1116.

Over the years, we've amassed a fair number of resources for BAiP's members. Please browse the categories at right for topics of interest to you, and click to view relevant items in our library.

We hope you will find helpful information. We encourage you to verify the resources and to suggest new items by emailing us:  webmaster@bloominplace.org.
