South Setauket in context

Huntington Hospital (Northwell) sits in the hub itself, and the LIRR Port Jefferson Branch gives car-free access for visiting family. Housing ranges from waterfront estates in Lloyd Harbor to modest ranches in Huntington Station, so the senior-care market spans private-pay concierge care to Medicaid-reliant placements within a few miles of each other.

Questions families ask

What's the statewide hotline if I don't know who my local Long-Term Care Ombudsman is?

New York's statewide Long Term Care Ombudsman hotline is 1-855-582-6769. It connects callers to the Office of the State Long Term Care Ombudsman, an independent office housed within the NY State Office for the Aging, which supervises Regional Ombudsman Coordinators, including Suffolk's and Nassau's, across the state.

What kinds of problems should I bring to the Ombudsman versus reporting to Adult Protective Services?

The Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program handles advocacy and complaint resolution for residents already living in a licensed facility, such as a nursing home, assisted living residence, adult home, or family-type home, addressing issues like care quality concerns, rights violations, or disputes with facility staff. Adult Protective Services (APS), by contrast, investigates suspected abuse, neglect, or exploitation of impaired adults living in the community, including those who depend on others for basic needs, and is administered through the county Department of Social Services rather than the Office for the Aging.

Is the Long-Term Care Ombudsman program free, and does it cost anything to file a complaint?

Yes. The Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program is a free, independent advocacy service - there is no cost to contact Suffolk's coordinator (631-470-6755), Nassau's coordinator (516-466-9718), or the statewide hotline (1-855-582-6769). The program is publicly funded and administratively housed within the NY State Office for the Aging specifically so it can operate independently of the facilities it may be investigating.
