For the past 15 years, Xing Mo has called New York’s Chinatown his home. He enjoys being near his friends and all the neighborhood has to offer.
As a retiree, Mo, 66, faced major financial pressures due to Manhattan’s skyrocketing rents. He sought help from the Chinatown Community Center operated by the nonprofit VNS Health. Social worker Wai Kiu Man worked tirelessly to get Mo new housing, and mental health care, as he was worried about paying his rent.
According to the2023 Senior Report from America’s Health Rankings, socially isolated older adults are left further vulnerable as they go through stressful life events common to aging, such as losing a close friend or family member, without the assistance of social support. The Chinatown Neighborhood Naturally Occurring Retirement Community operated by VNS Health helps residents 60 and older living in and around lower Manhattan to age safely at home.
VNS Health is one of the nation's largest nonprofit home and community-based health care organizations. In 2006, it received a grant to extend services to help Chinatown's seniors."The main purpose is aging in place," said Helen Sit, VNS Health manager of the Chinatown center."The seniors, they grew up here or they are immigrants here, when they get old, they need a lot of social service and health service help in order to live independently.
