(Long Island, NY) “No matter how hard we try to avoid it, every person has to address the issue of independent living as they undergo the aging process,” said Senator Kemp Hannon (R-Nassau). “The growing awareness of the benefits of staying in your home as long as possible are widely recognized.”
Senator Hannon is inviting all Sixth Senatorial District residents to attend his “Aging In Place” seminar at the Farmingdale Public Library (116 Merritts Road, Farmingdale) on Tuesday, June 30, from 7:00–8:30 pm. Reservations for this event are required and can be made by visiting kemphannon.com or by calling Senator Hannon’s Community Office at 516-739-1700.
“Here in New York, the population aged 65 and over is projected to be almost 3 million, according to the US Department of Health and Human Services,” said Hannon. “That is a steady increase, expected to continue, and we are working very hard to offer support services and information to help you stay in your home as long as possible.”
