Three things worth knowing first

  • Medicare's hospice benefit covers the hospice team, medications related to the terminal diagnosis, and equipment. It does not cover room and board in a facility.
  • Palliative care is not the same thing. It focuses on symptom relief and can run alongside treatment intended to cure, at any stage.
  • You can change hospice providers, and you can revoke hospice and return to curative treatment.
You can check any facility's record free. NYS Health Profiles (profiles.health.ny.gov) publishes license status and inspection history free. Read the full explanation →

Questions families ask

How do we know it's actually time to move my parent out of their home?

There's no single trigger, but common signals include a recent fall or hospitalization, a new or worsening dementia diagnosis, the primary family caregiver reaching burnout, or private funds running low relative to ongoing care costs, any of which typically prompts a first call to the Nassau (516-227-8900) or Suffolk (631-853-8200) County Office for the Aging to understand available options before deciding.

What is Nassau County's Area Agency on Aging, and how do I reach them?

Nassau County's Area Agency on Aging is its Office for the Aging, part of the Department of Human Services, located at 60 Charles Lindbergh Blvd., Uniondale, NY 11553, phone 516-227-8900. Nassau was the first county government in the nation to establish a dedicated agency for its 60-plus population.

What is Suffolk County's Area Agency on Aging, and how do I reach them?

Suffolk County's Area Agency on Aging is its Office for the Aging, explicitly designated the Area Agency on Aging under the Older Americans Act, located at the H. Lee Dennison Building, 100 Veterans Memorial Highway, Hauppauge, NY 11788, phone 631-853-8200. The office has administered federal, state, and county aging programs for nearly 50 years.

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.
