Speaking on the occasion, Ms. Melinda Katz said she was amazed every single say at the “unbelievably needed service” provided by India Home’s aging services. “In the city of New York, with its immigrant South Asian population increasing exponentially since the 90s, there was a never ending need for services. Since 2007 India Home has provided an array of services in a warm caring and culturally sensitive environment, so important to aging gracefully in our great borough. ”
