Information on Senior Health Partners

Senior Health Partners (SHP) is a program organized by Mount Sinai Hospital, The Jewish Home and Hospital, and Metropolitan New York Coordinating Council on Jewish Poverty.

SHP was created to help frail seniors stay in their homes even if they require nursing home type care. SHP operates on funds from Medicaid and Medicare.

The program provides social, nutritional, medical, and rehabilitation services in seniors' homes and at a central care clinic. The clinic has an excellent day program as well as a treatment and diagnostic center.

The geriatrics department from Mount Sinai hospital also collaborates in the program. The team that works for SHP is a multi-disciplinary team, consisting of a variety of medical and other professionals.
