ARC XVI FORT WASHINGTON, INC
Where the community wants to be
We provide our elders with the services they need to stay healthy, active, engaged, and connected. Join us, all are welcome!
ATTENTION
Due to COVID-19, we have moved to a remote services model to keep our staff and community healthy and safe. While we have you, our community’s elders are among those most affected and most vulnerable populations in the city. No elder should have to face hunger or housing insecurity ever, but especially not during a global crisis. Our community’s elders need you. Please consider donating today.
Welcome to ARC XVI
For over 40 years, ARC XVI’s Senior Centers have been helping our community age with confidence, grace, and vitality. We do this by creating a safe and welcoming space in each of our locations. All are welcome to share a meal, get connected with public services that deal with anything from housing insecurity to health insurance, or participate in a group activity.
Many of the 9000 members we serve every year refer to us as a second family and home, and we take a lot of pride in that. We always have space for more at our table. Join us, we can’t wait to meet you!
Enabling older people to live with dignity, self-sufficiency, and a sense of well-being.
Our vision is to be the best senior service provider in Northern Manhattan.
The values that direct our work are diversity, family, collaboration, community, partnership, commitment, and integrity.
