Westchester Independent Living Center provides independent living services in White Plains, NY, in the Town of Greenburgh. The center supports people with disabilities who want to direct their own lives in the community through advocacy, training, referrals, and peer support. Independent living centers on private living with community services rather than daily care, so this may suit someone seeking tools and guidance for greater self-direction.
Westchester Independent Living Center opened in 1981 and is directed by Margaret Nunziato. Its programs include Deaf Services, independent living Skills, Peer Advisement, Information and Referral, Trainings & Workshops, Benefits and Entitlements Advisement, NY Connects, and transportation services. Participants can therefore access guidance, skills training, benefits assistance, and transportation support in one place. The area has a Walk Score of 76, placing it in the very walkable range, so most errands can be completed on foot and someone who no longer drives may still be able to get out independently.
