In our Pura Política segment, we spoke with the City Commissioner for Elderly Care, Lorraine Cortés-Vásquez, about the importance of valuing our older adults.
“It is important to ensure that we have a link between the young population and older New Yorkers,” says Lorraine Cortés-Vásquez.
Age discrimination is one of the last ones left in society, tells us the city commissioner for the care of the senior population.
In conversation with Pura Política, he shares that he is working and encouraging the community to eliminate the belief that an older person has fewer skills at work.
In addition, it emphasizes the focus on health, calling for older people to stay in their communities, instead of being sent to nursing homes, remembering that in our Latin culture, we take care of our elderly.
