Westchester County Senior Programs operates as a division of the Westchester County Department of Senior Programs and Services (DSPS), a vital government agency dedicated to serving the needs of the county’s aging population. As a leader in senior services, the organization coordinates a wide range of programs that promote independence, dignity, and quality of life for older adults. Through local partnerships and collaborative efforts with community-based organizations, Westchester County Senior Programs ensures that seniors have access to nutrition services, home care, case management, and caregiver support.

A cornerstone of their offerings includes senior centers across the county that provide wellness activities, social engagement, and educational workshops. They also administer programs funded through the Older Americans Act, further extending outreach and support to underserved senior populations. Their culturally inclusive approach reflects the diverse demographics of Westchester County, with multilingual services and culturally tailored programs. A strong advocacy component helps inform seniors and their families of available resources and their rights. The agency also oversees volunteer opportunities that connect residents with meaningful ways to support aging neighbors. In coordination with local municipalities, they help shape age-friendly policies and infrastructure improvements.
