All older adults must sign in upon entering a center, with some centers using scanners for this process.
- Older adults are required to sign in when they enter any Older Adult Center (OAC).
- Many centers have installed scanners to facilitate the sign-in process.
- In addition to the standard entry sign-in, some centers may require additional sign-ins for individual activities.
- The exact number of centers equipped with scanners is not currently known by the NYC Department for the Aging.
