What is specific to this county
Suffolk County's Office for the Aging serves the county's roughly 291,400 residents age 65 and older, about 19 percent of Suffolk's total 2024 population of 1,530,146, a county that stretches from denser, transit-served western hamlets like Huntington and Bay Shore out to more rural North and South Fork communities that have become popular retirement-relocation destinations. Reaching the office at 631-853-8200 connects families to the county's aging services network, and the same number serves as Suffolk's local NY Connects, or Choices for Long Term Care, contact point for information and assistance. Suffolk County is the 4th most populous county in New York State and the larger of Long Island's two counties by land area, which means its Office for the Aging covers a geographically broader, and more varied, territory than Nassau's more compact, uniformly suburban county.
