Banks asks if surveys have been taken at centers converted to RAD/PACT to assess whether the experience has been good or bad. McKenzie says NYC Aging has not surveyed yet, but she has visited some converted centers and older adults were thrilled. She says the environment is greatly enhanced by RAD/PACT.

Chris Banks

Oh, are there any surveys taken from these particular centers that have been converted over to Rad Pack?

Chris Banks

Just to get a sense of if the experience has been good, bad.

Lisa Scott McKenzie

We haven't taken a survey of it yet on the New York City aging side, but I can tell you, having visited some of the recently converted, the older adults were thrilled.

Lisa Scott McKenzie

It is a much enhanced environment.

Lisa Scott McKenzie

Early on, you mentioned some of the complaints and, you know,

Lisa Scott McKenzie

Councilmember Hudson mentioned having floorboards coming up and holes in the ceilings and those types of things at some of the sites that she's visited.

Lisa Scott McKenzie

The environment is greatly, greatly enhanced by the Rad Pack program.

Lisa Scott McKenzie

And I'll say, as we're on our tour, the Rad Pack manager, whoever it is for that particular site, has also joined us on the tour.

Lisa Scott McKenzie

They seem very invested in making sure that they're protecting the program.

property and also providing a great environment for the older adults.

Lisa Scott McKenzie

So thus far, we're very pleased with what we see, but we'll continue to monitor.

Chris Banks

Yeah, it would be nice if you can survey them.

Chris Banks

I would love to hear what they have to say.

Lisa Scott McKenzie

Absolutely.

Chris Banks

Thank you, Chair.

Susan Zhuang

Thank you.
