Steuben County Office for the Aging
The Steuben County Office
for the Aging has been designated by the State of New York to plan and
coordinate services to meet the needs of our county's older residents. We
do this by working to improve access to services that will assist our
older citizens to age in place and by striving to expand the range of
services available for older persons and their caregivers. Our mission is
to enable persons aged sixty and older to continue living independently in
a safe environment. Types of services provided are benefits counseling;
assistance in accessing services such as HEAP, Medicare Part D, EPIC and
Project SHARE; information and screening for Medicaid and Food Stamps; in
home services such as assistance with eating, bathing, reminders to take
medication, housework, laundry, shopping, errands and paying bills;
personal emergency response units; long term care Ombudsman for people
residing in such facilities; transportation; income tax counseling; and
caregiver services such as support, and learning seminars. Legal advice,
representation, or referral are available through the Office for the Aging
pertaining, but not liminted to: Medicare and Medicaid, Consumer
Complaints, Social Security/SSI, Hospital Patient Rights, Landlord/Tenant
Relations, Other Entitlements and Benefits. Legal services are not
available to cover wills, criminal cases, negligence actions, or other
cases for which a private attorney may be obtained on a contingency basis.
