OLDER ADULT CENTERS

We understand the pride you take in your independence. And when you make Carter Burden Network activities, programs, and services part of your daily routine, living life the way you want becomes healthier, safer, and easier to achieve. The Carter Burden Network is comprised of four older adult centers in New York City. Each location offers unique programs for older adults living in the surrounding areas. 

It starts with congregate meal programs at our older adult centers, where delicious meals with new neighbors create lasting friendships. Our older adult centers are places where meals, activities, and counseling are offered to all and are consistently unique. Where sitting down for lunch launches friendships and signing up for workshops sparks knowledge. Where creativity is nurtured and artistry embraced. Where there’s pleasure in finding new paths to physical and mental wellness.

New York City opens cooling centers when the National Weather Service issues a heat advisory with a forecasted heat index of 95 degrees or higher for two or more days or 100 degrees for any period.
