Senior Advocate Schedules Legislator Lou D’Amaro is alerting local residents about the Suffolk County Office for the Aging Spring 2013 Senior Advocate Schedule. Senior advocates are County representatives who come out into the community and assist seniors with information gathering, completion of eligibility or recertification applications and referrals to appropriate community agencies. “With the cold and unpredictable winter weather behind us, it’s an ideal time for Suffolk County seniors to get out and visit with their local senior advocates to learn more about all of the critical programs that are available,” D’Amaro said. “Nobody should ever have to go without food, medical attention or other necessities, which is why our senior advocates literally bring these vital programs and services directly to our seniors in their own communities.” Senior Advocates meet with interested and needy seniors aged 60 and over at regularlyscheduled times in specific locations throughout the
community. This spring, they are visiting the following locations in the Town of Babylon: • Deer Park Library: Tuesday, May 28th from 9 a.m. – 11 a.m. • Lindenhurst Library: Mondays, April 29th and June 24th from 10 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. • North Amityville Nutrition Center: Tuesdays, May 7th and June 4th from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. • Rainbow Center (Lindenhurst): Wednesdays, May 1 and June 5th from 9 a.m. – 11 a.m. • Spangle Drive Center (North Babylon): Mondays, May 6th and June 3rd from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. • Tanner Park Nutrition Center (Copiague): Wednesdays, April 17th, May 22nd and June 19th from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. • West Babylon Library: Thursday, May 23rd from 1 p.m. – 3 p.m. • Wyandanch Nutrition Center: Fridays, May 17th, June 7th and June 21st from 9:30 a.m. – 1 p.m. Advocates provide assistance with food stamps, Medicare savings programs, Medicaid
applications and Heating Emergency Assistance Program (HEAP) applications. They also answer questions and make additional recommendations and referrals. For more information about available services, or for directions to any of the aforementioned locations, please call the Suffolk County Office for the Aging at 631.853.8200. Appointments are encouraged but drop-ins are also welcome. No individual will ever be turned away. “Senior citizens are the backbone of our community, and for more than three decades, the Suffolk County Office for the Aging has assisted these very important residents by giving them full and trouble-free access to critical services,” D’Amaro said. “I urge every senior resident to take full advantage of this professional community outreach program so that they don’t miss out on the County’s network of services.”
