Center for Independence of the Disabled Reviews

when trying to blaze the everyday care & public programs of support & grace of the differently able trying to get back up again with respect & encouragement This is no small feat of insight working with people who need good kind attention care & inspiration. Very well seasoned diversity and respect given all people trying to mangage lives & work together no matter what the issues their good knowledge to help with blazing trails & new territory. Disability is very diverse & misunderstood. The people are often mired in poverty & suppresion respect is here & welcoming encouragement to support help & grow. With grace understanding & creative sound care & advice in nuturing productive enviroments of some wildly special good souls. Community & compassion for all. Harmony and grace to support grow & inspire each other along our ways. Asking for help & letting people help are very important steps in good kind care. I was slowly put back together following an assault & drunk driver accident thru 9/11 aswell. It not been easy and the differently able community is very miss understood or overlooked not here peace & comfort to all. Saving lives & inspiring all the most charming people I ever engaged for support & help in brutally abusive unfortunate times all too often. Fighting for simple good care & respect.

Very helpful. Could use more qualified staff for their heavy workload.

I dont get what difference they make for deaf people. No support or follow through in worst time of need. Not professional, effective, or motivated employees.

I am completely disabled person, cannot stand or walk, I use electric scooter. The door I must use to enter building is extremely heavy making it impossible for me to open.
September 2016, I started asking management of building (Trion management) to help, the answer was NO! I contacted NYC Human Rights Comm. For almost a year they tried to help with very little progress. Trion Management keep procrastinating.
I called MDA for help I was directed to this office (CIDNY) Within a month a new door was installed. A perfect door!
Thank you Lourdes I. Rosa-Carrasquillo and the staff of CIDNY

The best people to work at CIDNY Are Sarah Chappell, Esq. And Paula Wolff may she Rest in peace

The woman, Monica, was a true professional; she was knowledgeable and courteous.

Rascist worse govt swamp, homeless people have more class and compassion than cidny people
20 years of promised help with housing with zero results best cons in the city. They need to be closed down anything they do is fabricated just to look like there helping FAKE FAKE phonies only there to keep themselves employed. Start making complaints to attourney generals office is the only way to get rid of these frauds.

some clown contacted me around over a week ago Pertaining to the fact that I was denied services for access a ride I was assured that someone would be contacting me back in regards to to my issue Unfortunately I still haven't heard from anyone I also requested for someone to contact me regarding a referral for housing Not a word since I've made my request known I've dealt with Cidney several years ago and I have to agree the staffs are unprofessional lazy accept 1 or two exceptions piece of trash

Great place to receive assistance with almost anything. Staff is friendly and they always follow up

Always fresh, high quality flowers, plants
Excellent floral designer on premises

We worked with John Colon who was a lifesaver for us. He was able to navigate us through processes and helped us immensely with our disabled adult daughter. He patiently explained program(s) to us, did the paperwork for us and put things in place. Prior, we had spent many sleepless nights worrying about what was available to our daughter. Now, we can rest assured that our daughter will be taken care of in the future. Thank you, John!

Another agency that doesn t respond to phone calls and has a bunch of fluff on their website for funding. Someone answered the phone, I told them I haven t received a response in over 30 days at the intake line.. she gave me the intake number to call again. Why answer the phone if you re not going to help those who call? What a joke

Rude awful and lazy service! Especially the "director"of this place!

Most of the staff is rude & disrespectful.
There are a few exceptions, but most staff is nasty.
They treat most people who come to get services, like their a nuisance & a pain in the neck. It used to be a 5 star agency 7 years ago.

I visited a few times and I love it now I need your help please

With just one call, I was connected to Evelyn who responded to my client's issues immediately and set out a course of action. She was extremely pleasant and helpful. I am in the public sector--nice to work so collegialy.

Wonderful Socialworkers who go out of their way to set you up. Nevertheless, the System is still unfair and, impersonal even for their highly skilled work.

Nobody has been returning my calls, texts, emails, and the receptionist was very very rude talking to be in a disrespectful manner and hanging the phone up on me cause I asked if I be able to leave a message for a call back from a different corporate head since I wasn't getting any response from the one I was contacting or my benefits counselor
