E-Life

The E-LIFE program combines the expertise of the agency staff with the energy and heart of our LIFE-SAVERS volunteer community to provide seniors with access to service offerings.

Older adults are the fastest growing segment of the U.S. population. By 2050 the number of Americans age 65 or older could soar to 80 million. The rise is due to the aging of the “baby boom” generation accompanied by advances in nutrition and medical care. Research tells us that this emergent age group is active, healthier and looking forward to growth and enrichment.

Program offerings for older adults, through LSSNY, are grounded in a wellness model of productive aging. It is imperative that we offer a venue in which older adults can continue to contribute their skills and talents and to be productive members of their community.

Service Offerings Include:

Lutheran Social Services through its E-LIFE program is committed to helping the growing population of seniors. We look forward to partnering with congregations and other agencies in support of older adult ministry efforts in the metropolitan New York area.
