NYC Aging Service Providers and Contract Details

Over 20 columns detail contracted providers for Older Adult Centers, Abuse Prevention, Home Care, and other services for New Yorkers aged 60+. The Department for the Aging (NYC Aging) maintains this directory of external, primarily non-profit, organizations. Data reflects contracts for the current fiscal year and includes agency contact information.

Use Cases

• Map service locations by Borough and Community Districts using the Location 1, Longitude, and Borough columns.
• Analyze service type distribution (e.g., Transportation, Legal Services) across ProviderType and ProgramName categories.
• Identify contact points for contracted agencies via ProgramPhone, ProgramAddress, and SponsorName fields.
• Assess operational hours for programs like senior centers by analyzing columns like MonHourOpen, WedHourClose, and SunHourOpen.

Strengths

• Includes geospatial coordinates (Longitude) and administrative boundaries (Community Board, City Council Districts) for mapping.
• Covers multiple major service categories (e.g., Home Care, Legal Services, Transportation) in a single directory.

Limitations
