I think its a great program, they don't have it for American seniors, they just have senior centers. You also have to be careful here, they want to know if the senior has a house and how much money they have and if they can get it they will, especially if she has no husband or no children. There is a law here now that when a mother or father or husband or wife die the state gets a death tax, 35 % of the dead persons assets so be careful of that one, the senior centers here also are working for the Gov. not the senior. I went through all of this with my Mom and when I had to put her in a home because she had alzhiemers , even though she left her house to me, they took it and her social security check to pay for the nursing home, 6,000 month. I am not saying it will definately happen but they try to talk them into a reverse mortgage, this way when they die , even if there is equity still left in the house , no one gets it except the Gov. if she outlives the money they put her in a home, This is like a police state lately. Some one from Ireland should keep an eye out for all of this. When my Mothers money was gone she suddenly got a staph infection and died. 2 or 3 generations here,they are Americans, the minute they get their citizenship papers they are considered Americas, rightly so but they are subject to the same underhanded dealings that other Americans are subjected to, this is not a senior friendly country, its scary.

I think it is a very good program, but why only New York city?? There are many Irish pensioners living in other parts of the US that do not have an active Irish community or club for socialization. Here in Florida we are blessed with good weather and general "senior" centers but none are specifically Irish.

I bet if they made a trip to the area and found out all from medical costs as well as all other cost and conditions, they be better off in Ireland. There are areas in the E.U. to check out also not only for conditions and cost but warmer weather. Time waits for no one so whats the rush for change?

Commendable programme.I recall seeing here how the elderly were taught how to use the internet by students allowing them to communicate with distant family and friends and see them via the webcam.Perhaps something similiar can be done over there.
