Catholic Charities provides a range of services to help Long Island
seniors enjoy a high quality of life. We aim to ensure that seniors
can live independently in comfort and safety while maintaining
physical and emotional health. Social activities help seniors remain
connected with the community, as well.
Services Provided
Senior Case Management
Senior case management and home care is also known as EISEP (Enhanced In-home Services for the
Elderly Program). This program
connects Nassau County seniors with services through government
agencies, parishes, and community-based organizations. A case
manager works with each senior to assess needs and develop
and implement a service plan, which might include home care,
transportation, state and local entitlements, and other needed services.
Meals-On-Wheels
Every weekday, the Meals-On-Wheels program delivers hot, nutritious
meals to the homebound in Nassau and Suffolk counties. In Nassau,
seniors may also participate in the frozen meal program, which
provides meals seven days per week. Meals-on-Wheels case managers
can assist the seniors in accessing other services they might need.
Senior Community Service Centers
Four senior community service centers in Nassau County offer
transportation, hot meals, recreation, entertainment, education,
health services, and socialization.
Congregate Meal Sites
Four congregate meal sites in Nassau and Suffolk counties provide
hot meals, socialization, and recreation for seniors and the visionand
hearing-impaired one to two days a week.
Caregiver Support Groups
In Nassau County our caregiver support group offers information,
support, and an opportunity to share experiences to those caring
for elderly relatives on an ongoing basis.
Bi-County Alliance of Senior Clubs
Seniors who want to become involved in their communities can
contact the Bi-County Alliance of Senior Clubs. Sixty-seven
senior clubs meet regularly in Nassau and Suffolk counties.
Catholic Charities' Senior Community Service Centers, Meals-On-
Wheels, and EISEP are funded by Nassau County Department of
Senior Citizen Affairs, Suffolk County Office for the Aging, NY State
Office for the Aging, the U.S. Administration on Aging, and Catholic
Charities, Diocese of Rockville Centre.
