HomeCountiesNassau County

Nassau County had an estimated population of roughly 1.395 million in 2024, making it one of the most densely populated suburban counties in the United States. About 273,100 residents -- 19.6% of the county -- are age 65 or older, a share that exceeds both the New York State average (18.9%) and the national average (18%). Nassau's senior-care landscape is defined by its dense inventory of long-established villages, several with their own hospital anchor: NYU Langone Hospital-Long Island in Mineola, Mercy Hospital in Rockville Centre, Mount Sinai South Nassau in Oceanside, and North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset. Nassau's older housing stock, including the famous Levittown tract, means a large aging-in-place population driving strong demand for home care and downsizing moves, alongside a competitive assisted living and memory care market concentrated along the LIRR corridor towns.

Short answer

Nassau County is served by its own Area Agency on Aging (Office for the Aging) and its own Long-Term Care Ombudsman region -- Nassau and Suffolk each run separate offices; the county line is also the agency line here. We list 52 verified senior care communities in Nassau County.

Questions families ask

Which has a bigger senior population - Nassau County or Suffolk County?

Suffolk County has slightly more seniors in raw numbers, about 291,400 residents age 65 and older versus Nassau's roughly 273,100, but Nassau has a slightly higher senior share of its total population, 19.6 percent versus roughly 19 percent in Suffolk. Both figures come from 2024 USAFacts/Census Bureau estimates, and both exceed the New York State average senior share of 18.9 percent.

What is NY Connects, and how does it relate to my county's Office for the Aging?

NY Connects is New York State's Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) network, a free, no-obligation service that helps individuals and families learn about and access long-term care options. In both Nassau and Suffolk counties, the local NY Connects access point runs through the county Office for the Aging: Nassau's information is linked from its Office for the Aging page, and Suffolk's Office for the Aging directly operates its NY Connects, or Choices for Long Term Care, function through its main line, 631-853-8200.

Does Nassau County or Suffolk County have a bigger, more spread-out senior care market?

Suffolk County's senior care market is more geographically spread out, stretching from denser, transit-served western hamlets such as Huntington, Brentwood, Bay Shore, and Islip to more rural, exurban North and South Fork communities that have become popular retirement-relocation destinations. Nassau County's market is more geographically compact, concentrated along its village and LIRR corridor towns, including Garden City, Rockville Centre, Great Neck, Freeport, Long Beach, and Mineola.
