AARP NY’s Taking It to the Streets Walk Audit IN-PERSON PROGRAM

Are you interested in making our neighborhood safer for pedestrians? Then join us for a walk audit! We will take a stroll through several blocks of the neighborhood to observe and evaluate the walkability and safety of neighborhood sidewalks, streets and crossings. After, we’ll gather at DOROT for conversation and tea!

DOROT is a non-profit social service agency that provides life-enhancing programs and services for adults 60 and older to help them live independently as valued members of the community.

Protocols for Attending In-Person Programs at DOROT

DOROT has no general vaccination or mask requirements in place for older adults and volunteers participating in programs at this time.

Vaccination

For the safety of our community, DOROT strongly recommends that everyone be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, staying up to date with COVID-19 vaccines, and annually against the flu. DOROT requires all employees to be fully vaccinated.

Masks

Masking is optional for older adults, volunteers and staff in DOROT’s onsite or community programs. Individuals who have had direct exposure to COVID-19 in the last 10 days or have recently tested positive for COVID-19 and are in days 6-10 of infection, may participate in in-person programs only if they have no symptoms and follow CDC guidelines to wear a mask.

When Individuals Should Not Participate in DOROT’s In-Person Activities

The DOROT community’s wellbeing continues to be our top priority. Older adults, volunteers and DOROT staff should cancel their plans to come to DOROT or participate in any in-person scheduled activity, if they:

1. Have tested positive in the past 5 days for COVID-19.
2. Are exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19 or other illnesses or are generally not feeling well.

If you test positive for COVID-19 within 48 hours of participating in a program at DOROT, please reach out to your DOROT program contact. This is for informational purposes only. You may return to in-person programs after 5 days and no longer symptomatic.

Thank you for helping us maintain the wellbeing of our DOROT community.
