NYC Department for the Aging (DFTA) Reviews

I am listed to receive "Get Food NYC Food Delivery Program" and got it ONLY ONE TIME.
That's all. Neot again, ever; that was a ONE TIME thing, although I'm supposed to get it every week, I have NOT!
Weeks have gone by since then, and no food from the program my social worker enrolled me in has happened, during this pandemic.
So, as a formerly tax paying senior, whi is elderly, alone, and in need, I thought it important to lodge my very valid complaint.

Counselor was very knowledgeable and helpful. An important service. Was surprised to hear that she is a volunteer, as this is a government agency and should pay people for this essential job.

My life is in danger because because of the lack of humanity and over abundance of laziness by this office of the NY Sate Dept of Aging.
**Do not ever call these people, they are careless beyond repair**

Great for senior citizen over 55 who are seeking careers or part employment . As long as your treated fairly.Mr Brown was a nice Coordinator . Did a great job on educating those interested in Taking classes and obtaining a certificate as it applies to Food service in New York City The Director Ms Serrano is a big bully if you have a complaint she will drag 4-5 other staff members in the conference room to intimidate you .for the most part they don t care about your complaint or bad treatment. But I feel it s always best to voice your opinion no matter how many people are sitting around the oval interrogation table.And I Did :)

Place has closed , they were good in helping you with senior assistance - taxes , rent etc

Very helpful indeed, I wish I would have came here years ago. Receptionists are friendly and comical. But the biggest shout out of the day goes to Anna Araujo and Sonya Patterson. They literally saved my moms life with all the information they provided me with. I thank all of you for your time and patience.

Well since the COVID19 Pandemic we have been #StayHomers.
Because I am. Member of the Beatrice Lewis Senior Center on 3rd Ave. & 126th st. I have been receiving meals every week except for the 2nd week. Today I received 9 snack/meals to carry me over the weekend. Thank you to Mrs. Johnson and thank you for the NYC DEPT. OF AGING.

People are lovely & knowledgeable! Medicare seminar is excellent!

I don't know what they are supposed to do.I've been waiting for a call from them for months regarding senior employment. Lots of talking but no action. Very disappointing after filling out papers and all. What do they really do besides get paid?

Very nice people. They listen and refer to the right places. Thank you.
