1 SERVICES FOR SENIORS LIVABLE COMMUNITIES CONNECTIONS WEST CENTRAL TOWN OF GREENBURGH Including unincorporated Greenburgh and the Villages of Ardsley, Dobbs Ferry, Elmsford, Hastings-on-Hudson, Irvington & Tarrytown The need for a printed DIRECTORY OF SERVICES was brought to the attention of the Livable Communities Connections Project, through its Regional Council. This Directory was made possible by the Westchester County s Livable Communities Connections Project, which is supported by the Westchester County Department of Senior Programs and Services, Westchester Public Private Partnership for Aging Services, AARP and the Volunteer Center of United Way. Many thanks go to the dedicated volunteer efforts of Judith Sokol, with assistance from Irene Groban and Rita Posner. We thank them for their tireless efforts gathering the information for this Directory. An additional thank you goes to the United Way of Westchester and Putnam for sharing information that is available through its 211 HELPLINE! * The information in this Directory is focused on services in and nearby to the Town of Greenburgh. It is not all inclusive, but has, in a printed format, information that seniors should find helpful. Do not consider the listings in the Directory as a recommendation for that service. We suggest that each individual needs to evaluate a service to see if it meets his/ her needs. DISCLAIMER: Information is as accurate as possible as of publication and will be periodically updated in electronic format at livablecommunitieswestchester.org.

Westchester Jewish Community Services received a grant from the Westchester County Department of Senior Programs and Services to coordinate the West Central Region of the County for the Livable Communities Project. This region includes the unincorporated portions of the Town of Greenburgh and the Villages of Ardsley, Dobbs Ferry, Elmsford, Hastings-On-Hudson, Irvington, and Tarrytown. This Project is a neighborhood empowerment program that works at the grassroots level to assess needs and to work toward creating communities where people can be proactive, stay home, stay healthy, stay connected to friends and family, and remain actively engaged in their communities. It offers residents the opportunity to join hands with their neighbors, friends, organizational members and elected leaders to work together for the benefit of all ages.
