Search and Care executive director Aaron Rooney says his organization was created to supply missing resources in senior communities in Manhattan.

He says each older adult has unique needs and matching a person to long-term care is difficult since each person has their own requirements.

Rooney talked about the different programs Search and Care provides, and shared how people in the Upper East Side community can find them and other resources.

Rooney emphasized the importance of protecting seniors’ mental health and said providing social contact with older adults is often imperative to their health.

He says the organization tries to help bridge the digital divide in the older age groups by hosting educational events for them.
