30 Years of Dedicated Service to New York's Seniors and their Families

Since 1978, the Institute for the Puerto Rican/Hispanic Elderly, Inc. has touched the lives of New York City's community of Hispanic/minority seniors and their families, advancing the fundamental right of each individual to age with dignity. For three decades, we have empowered our elderly through education, case management, and caregiver programs to ensure that their basic needs are met.  We have fought long and hard to promote and protect senior rights; and access to entitlements and benefits through our strong public advocacy efforts as well as through our multilingual/multicultural programs and direct assistance services provided citywide at eight senior centers, out-stationed sites,  four subsidiaries and two senior residences.

The Institute continues to serve as an important resource for not-for-profits, government agencies and businesses throughout the United States and Puerto Rico by providing technical assistance, training, and consultation in areas such as culturally responsive program design and service delivery; and access to elderly minority communities.  The Institute founded the Minority Aging Defense Council, co-founded the Hispanic AIDS Forum, and sponsored the Coalition of Hispanic Service Providers. 

As we enter our fourth decade of service, the Institute remains committed to serving the Hispanic/minority elderly and their families with excellence, dedication and compassion. We stand ready to meet the challenges of a new generation of active and vibrant baby-boomers, and an ever increasing number of Hispanic/minority older adults now approaching their 70's, 80's and 90's.
