Eldercare, Disability and Long Term Care Information

Welcome and thank you for arriving at the Orange County NY Connects website. Current public health trends clearly indicate that by 2010, the number of people over the age of 65 will begin to increase dramatically. As baby boomers begin to reach retirement age, the number of people expected to be in need of long term care services will increase with each passing year.

With this in mind, the County of Orange has designed this website to help our residents access information regarding available long term care health services. Information regarding community based services, nursing home care, meals on wheels, long term insurance and other essential information is available by simply clicking your mouse.

Over the course of the next three years, the Orange County Office for the Aging and the Department of Social Services will be working to restructure and rebalance our long term care services to ensure coordination, accessibility, and a person centered approach. Orange County is committed to ensuring that all of our residents are provided with the most up-to-date information regarding the services and resources available to our residents.

Please take your time and review the information available throughout this website. All of our County Departments and private sector partners are here to meet your needs.

Thank you,    Edward A. Diana    County Executive
