Jane's Senior Resource List NYC

My name is Jane Duncan.  I live in the West Village, Manhattan.  I built this website for seniors in my community to have resources.  I work and volunteer with the homebound.  If I can be of any help feel free to reach out.

Assisted Living

Sunrise is the most amazing assisted living environment I've ever seen.  It is a fun environment that is full of activities and the staff is energetic kind, professional and genuine.

ER doctor telemedicine 24/7

24 hours a day, 7 days a week if you call this number.  A Northwell emergency room doctor will do telemedicine with you. I once got four prescriptions for COPD, and emphysema from this hotline.

Mental health  support

Jaclyn Jones LCSW (917)-5541312 Gericare@gmail.com
Jaclyn has provided psychotherapy remotely to seniors for years. She's warm, professional, knows how to make people feel comfortable, and in my opinion is a real lucky find. She is a Medicare Provider (traditional Medicare only) She is a licensed clinical social worker and has many years of experience working in long-term care as a Director of Social Work. Jaclyn specialized in end of life and discharge planning. She truly is committed to the dignity of seniors and has spent her professional career advocating for seniors.

CCM  offers in person or remote options. They offer therapy and medication. One location is in Manhattan and the other in Brooklyn.

Remote HRA Assistance 

I currently volunteer to help low income people who have trouble navigating the system and the internet sign up for snap benefits, cash assistance, free cell phones, and rent assistance. I connect people with physicians, and mental health professionals that take their insurance if they are struggling with the red tape. I connect people with aides, case managers and social workers.

The Homebound

These doctors will come to your home if you're homebound.

Caregivers

If you contact me I will give you my top picks for private care aides who are currently available. These are all people who are professional, fun, skilled, and kind. Anyone I would recommend I would trust with my own parents. I'd love to hear about your loved ones needs, wants and interests so I could match them with someone they'd love. I do this because most of my friends work in Healthcare and I run into some amazing people in that industry because of what I do for work. I don't charge a referral fee or benefit financially from this.
