New York State Office for the Aging recently launched a new website, aging.ny.gov, with an improved design, navigation, search functions and accessibility from any device.
The new site follows the format of the ny.gov — the state’s official website and features streamlined information about programs and services. In addition, the website links to the state’s navigation tool, which enables visitors to bookmark relevant services and return to them later using the My Services feature.
The site also provides information and guidance for the aging services provider network on forms, issuances, reporting and training opportunities to help ensure aging services professionals have the tools they need to respond to the current and emerging needs of older New Yorkers and caregivers.
Site visitors can also interact with aging.ny.gov on any device and digital screen, reflecting the large number of users who access information from a mobile device. Social media features allow visitors to easily share and discover information through various social media platforms.
The Aging Services app also links users with live information and assistance through NY Connects, the state’s “no wrong door” system for community-based long-term services and support, which is designed to help older adults and those with disabilities remain healthy and independent.
The free app is compatible with both iOS and Android platforms.
