elders such as mobility, isolation, nutrition and physical or social conditions, which often lead
to the loss of independence.
In an effort to broaden the Neighborhood Program, wellness coaching for seniors on an
individual and personalized basis will be available, helping them to meet goals that are
meaningful to them and in turn leading to better quality of life. ESLC is eager to develop
strong relationships with residents of Penfield Square and with seniors in the surrounding
community through its vibrant Neighborhood Program.
For ESLC, this unique partnership with Home Leasing – working together to meet the needs
of a diverse group of people with varying needs and income levels and filling a gap in service –
is an exciting venture. Through funding from the Empire State Supportive Housing Initiative
(ESSHI), ESLC will serve frail seniors who face significant health challenges and other barriers
to successful independent living. The organization will be able to provide a stable, supportive
environment with access to the appropriate health and social services needed by these
residents – care coordination being an integral aspect of the services provided.
During this holiday season, ESLC is reminded of how fortunate it is and looks to its next
phase of growth with much anticipation as it continues to serve the senior population in
unique and innovative ways.
