Located within the Oberia D. Dempsey Multi-Service facility, PSS Harlem Center offers a wide variety of activities designed to help older adults in the community age well. We do so by providing health management screenings and discussions, classes on computer and social media use, arts and cultural activities, exercise classes, informative programs, day trips, volunteer opportunities, and case and benefits assistance. PSS Harlem Center is funded by the NYC Dept. for the Aging and Sponsored by Presbyterian Seniors Services.

I come to PSS Harlem Center not just for the many activities they provide but to socialize with other members. As you age you can become complacent in doing nothing and become isolated. The Center makes you feel like you belong to a family, and family is very essential during your golden years.
I greet people, pour coffee, and translate when they need it. Helping others makes me feel useful again. We look out for each other here — that’s the kind of community this is.
When I joined, one member barely spoke. Now he laughs, talks, and joins in. That’s what community does — we bring each other out.
By subway, take the #2 or #3 to 125th Street. Walk north two blocks on Lenox Avenue (Malcolm X Blvd), then turn left onto West 127th Street.
We are located inside of Oberia D. Dempsey Multi-Service Center. If you are a member or visiting, you need to provide some form of identification, and inform staff that you would like to go to the PSS Center. PSS Harlem Center is on the first floor in Room 125.
