SUNNYSIDE COMMUNITY SERVICES

Welcome to Sunnyside Community Services, Sunnyside Citywide Home Care Services, and Sunnyside Home Care Project, serving the communities of Western Queens since 1974 and now providing home care throughout New York City. We hope you will find on this website any services you may need for children five years old up to seniors over 100 years of age.

 
FREE OPEN HOUSE
Adult Day Services Program

Many social adult day programs for seniors with Alzheimer's or other memory disorders have been forced to close because of government funding cuts. We are very pleased to announce that a grant from the Fan Fox and Leslie R. Samuels Foundation has enabled us to keep our program open while we explore ways to make it self-sustaining.

If you are caring for a frail or cognitively impaired older person, please join us at an open house on Thursday, June 18, 2009, from 3 to 5:30 p.m. to see our facility and learn about the program.

We're at 43-31 39th Street between Queens Boulevard and 43rd Avenue.
For more information, or to RSVP, please call Julia Fleishner at 718.784.6173, ext. 437.

JUST LOOK AT US NOW! SCS SENIOR CENTER OPENS

In an all-day celebration, Sunnyside Community Services’ award-winning Center for Active Older Adults officially opened its doors on September 4, 2008.  After a morning staff celebration, the Center members (individuals over 60 years of age) filled the room to capacity at a grand opening luncheon party with music and dancing. The day culminated in the official ribbon cutting ceremony attended by the many friends and supporters of Sunnyside Community Services who helped the project in various ways. Speakers included elected and appointed officials and many of the wonderful donors who helped secure funds for the remarkable transformation of an abandoned auto body shop into a beautiful and vital community landmark.   

This project started over six years ago, and despite construction delays, administrative hang-ups, and other issues, Sunnyside Community Services and the Queens community now have a beautiful, state of the art facility to use and enjoy. “Just look at us now!” said Judith Zangwill, executive director of SCS.  “We have an amazing, award-winning space with a completely new kitchen and dining area, and more room for programs, training sessions, and community meetings.  We are certain that SCS will continue to be the center of community activity and provide a cheerful and warm center for active older adults, including many who are not ready to be called ‘seniors.' '”
