This bill would require the Commissioner of the New York City (NYC) Department for the Aging (DFTA) to develop a protocol in collaboration with NYC Emergency Management and relevant agencies to conduct wellness checks during cold weather alerts, extreme heat warnings, and heat-related emergencies. Wellness checks would include a set of questions developed by DFTA to gauge an older adult’s well-being, a determination of such older adult’s apparent well-being, and a report on the conditions in such older adult’s place of residence. The bill would also repeal repetitions of the definition of “older adult” in subdivision a of section 21-205.1, subdivision a of section 21-210, subdivision a of section 21-211, subdivision a of section 21-215, and subdivision a of section 21-216 of the administrative code.
