Parker's pioneering spirit and unwavering commitment to superior patient care in a warm and supportive environment have been our manifest since founding in 1907. The Institute was established by a group of benefactors as a shelter for homeless older people.
From a single room in a private house in East Harlem, the group, incorporated as the Harlem House of the Daughters of Israel in 1914, moved to a three-story brownstone at 32 East 119th Street, and then, in 1925, to an eight-story building at 1260 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.Enlarged facilities enabled Parker's forerunner to care for increasing numbers of immigrants and other New Yorkers who sought assistance.
