Our Programs

The DOROT community of older adults range in age from 60 to over 100 – a majority in their 80s – and vary in physical mobility, economic status and backgrounds. Our in-home and community programs bring vital services and companionship to those who have difficulty leaving home without support. Seniors able to travel to our Upper West Side or Westchester offices can enjoy a host of vibrant, engaging on-site and intergenerational programs.

At Home, Online, and by Phone

DOROT offers a wide array of programs that help you stay active and socially connected in the comfort of your own home. There are online and telephone programs for every interest: lifelong learning, health and wellness, current events, art and culture, and more. You can also sign up for friendly visits or phone conversations with a DOROT volunteer.

At DOROT

Join us at DOROT’s building on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Our programs cater specifically to adults aged 60 and above, with a strong emphasis on promoting health and wellness, fostering social connections, and providing opportunities for continued learning and enrichment. Participation is entirely FREE thanks to the generosity of our donors.

Out and About

DOROT helps older adults age 60+ get out of their homes and around town. We connect older adults with friendly volunteers who provide companionship and support during neighborhood walks and other local outings as well as our annual Cemetery Visit program.

In Westchester

DOROT’s programs in Westchester County create connections among older adults age 60+, a community of volunteers of all ages, and our dedicated staff. Whether enjoying our holiday package deliveries or spending time in conversation or playing games, DOROT has a long history of bringing the generations together in meaningful ways in Westchester.

Community Partnerships

DOROT partners with other organizations to make an even greater impact. We extend our expertise and programs to more people through our mutually beneficial collaborations with local community-based organizations, synagogues, schools, and the larger caring community.
