There is a full range of services for the elderly on Long Island, offered by local government, senior centers and nonprofit groups. Getting information into the right hands is often the biggest obstacle that program directors face.
MEDICARE Many older residents are now focused on Medicare since it is the season to choose Part D prescription drug coverage. Suffolk County can help the elderly sort through the paperwork and decide which insurance programs are best for them. Volunteer counselors can be reached by calling (631) 853-6651.
ABUSE If an elderly person is suffering physical or emotional abuse or neglect, help is available from Suffolk County’s Elder Abuse Counseling Program. The Victims Information Bureau of Suffolk is at (631) 360-3606.
INFORMATION The Nassau County Senior Citizen help line is (516) 227-8900.
