In May of 2007, I posted this entry linking to a New York Times article regarding life in a nursing home and a (geographically distant) alternative to nursing home life in Tupelo, Mississippi. Although the alternative featured offered a glimmer of hope to some of my NYC metropolitan elder law clients, Mississippi is too far south of downtown Brooklyn to be a realistic option for most native New Yorkers. Thankfully, the New York Times published this article about an alternative right here in New York City. Finally, it seems, someone listened: there is a NYC alternative to institutional living and bingo.
