The Good Neighbor Program
The Good Neighbor Program is designed to assist individuals residing in nursing homes to return to the community. It can fill crucial gaps in an individuals’ support network. Neighbors are paid to provide support and backup care to assist individuals returning to living in their communities. In addition, Neighbors serve a role in breaking down social isolation and building engagement within the community. Social activity, building neighborly relationships and independent community living play important roles in health and happiness.
The Good Neighbor Program is part of the Open Doors program funded through the NYS Department of Health Money Follows the Person Program.
