Suffolk County, the larger of Long Island's two counties by land area and the 4th most populous county in New York State, had a population of 1,530,146 as of 2024 Census estimates. About 291,400 residents -- roughly 19% of the county -- are 65 or older. Suffolk stretches from denser, transit-served western hamlets like Huntington, Brentwood, Bay Shore and Islip to more rural and exurban North and South Fork communities like Riverhead and the Hamptons area that have become popular retirement-relocation destinations. Suffolk's senior-care supply is anchored by Northwell Health facilities (Huntington Hospital, Southside Hospital in Bay Shore, Peconic Bay Medical Center in Riverhead), Catholic Health's St. Catherine of Siena in Smithtown, and Mather and St. Charles hospitals in Port Jefferson.

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.
