Enriched Housing
This service program is licensed by the New York State Department of Health for individuals aged 65 and over. The program operator provides one or more congregate meals per day, help with shopping and homemaking, housekeeping, transportation, social activities, supervision, and personal care. The program of services can be provided by a community services agency for a specified number of residents in a senior or family apartment building, or an entire multiunit facility can be built and licensed, with the building's sponsor providing the program of services to all residents in the building. Some Enriched Housing operators may be licensed by the Department of Health as a Limited Licensed Home Care Services Agency, which allows them to provide additional personal care and health-related services to residents. For older people living in family or senior apartment buildings, this program allows older residents to continue aging in place successfully instead of relocating to a health-care facility. The living units in Enriched Housing apartments or facilities are full apartments (include kitchen facilities), which is a strong preference of older people. Both the rent and the cost of services and care in Enriched Housing are included in one monthly charge. Residents can use private resources to pay for the monthly charges; those below a specified income level are eligible for subsidization through the federal and state Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Programs.
