The Nassau County Department of Senior Citizen Affairs is responsible for
advising the County Executive and government officials on the problems and
needs of the County's 257,000 residents age 60 and over. As the official
Area Agency on Aging for Nassau County, the Department develops a
county-wide plan to provide services that assist older persons to remain
independent and living in their own homes. The Department serves as a
funding agency for programs offered by other voluntary and government
agencies. It provides more than 90 programs in the areas of health,
housing, employment, legal services, volunteerism, home care,
transportation, nutrition, etc., to improve the quality of life for older
persons. The Department also serves as an advocate for the elderly. In
addition to the main office in Uniondale, the Department operates two
five-day-a-week multi-purpose senior centers. In cooperation with local
community agencies, the Department maintains 16 additional senior centers
which provide daily hot lunches and social and recreational programs, six
Adult Day Service Centers, and eleven Senior Lunch Programs.
