Willing Hearts Helpful Hands is a community program dedicated to supporting family caregivers of older adults in Queens, Nassau, and Suffolk Counties. By connecting caregivers with trained volunteers, the program offers essential respite services at no cost, allowing caregivers to prioritize their own self-care and family obligations. Operated by Parker Jewish Institute for Health Care and Rehabilitation in collaboration with local organizations, Willing Hearts Helpful Hands aims to enhance the quality of life for caregivers and their loved ones. Funded by a grant from the New York State Department of Health, the initiative promotes community engagement to provide vital assistance and support. Generated from the website

The House provides the parents and siblings of these children with a temporary haven in a secure and comfortable environment among other families sharing a similar burden.Located on the campus of the Cohen Children's Medical Center of New York (formerly Schneider Children's Hospital), the House accommodates families in a warm and supportive environment. Since opening in 1986, approximately 30,000 families from the United States and more than 80 countries around the world have been served. Many of the families are from Long Island and other parts of the Metropolitan area.
