Albany Guardian Society’s mission is to improve the lives of older
adults in the Capital Region, their families and their caregivers,
through information, education, research, and collaboration.
Albany Guardian Society (AGS) has been a pioneer in supporting older adults in Albany, New York, for 173 years. We are committed to adapting to the evolving needs of older adults and caregivers to live well and age in place.
Our commitment to excellence is reflected in the resources we offer — from valuable information and educational tools to fostering research and collaboration.
With our mission, we strive to make a lasting, meaningful difference in the lives of older adults and caregivers, ensuring that they are informed and empowered to live fulfilling lives.
In its early years, Albany Guardian Society provided a home for women and children in need of shelter and care. Over time, our mission evolved to address the broader needs of older adults, expanding its scope to include a range of services. Through this growth, AGS has continued to adapt to the changing needs of the older adult community, always prioritizing their well-being and quality of life.
