Astorino Requests Proposals for Services that Benefit Seniors

Written By: Talk of the Sound News

WHITE PLAINS, NY — County Executive Robert P. Astorino announced that Westchester County’s Department of Senior Programs and Services (DSPS) has issued a request for proposals (RFPs) from qualified agencies to provide Adult Day Services. The funding comes from grants through the federal Older Americans Act.

Adult Day Services include structured, comprehensive programs that provide socialization, supervision, personal care and nutrition in a protective setting during the day but for less than 24 hours.

“Our RFP outreach is important because it enables the county to offer the highest quality services to seniors and caregivers,” Astorino said. “It gives us an opportunity to look at our options and compare costs. Our ultimate goal is to help seniors remain in their homes and their communities.”

Proposals must be received by April 6 at the following address: The Department of Senior Programs and Services, County Office Building, 9 S. First Ave., 10th Floor, Mount Vernon, NY 10550.
