Heights and Hills has been supporting older Brooklyn adults and their caregivers since 1971. Each year, the organization serves 5,000 older adults and their families. The older adults they serve range in age from 60 to more than 100, are immigrant and native born, and are as diverse as the communities in which they live. The Heights and Hills Caregiver Program provides support to caregivers of older adults, including individual counseling, support groups, and educational seminars.
