Senior Citizen Services

The Town of Babylon offers numerous services and programs that are available to our senior and aging residents. The Town's four senior centers are part of the Department of Human Services. The monthly Around Town Senior Magazine provides a comprehensive list of upcoming programs and events for seniors to take part in within the Town.

Senior Centers: 

The town has four senior centers:

All four centers provide recreational, cultural, advisory, and health programs. Activities include arts and crafts, computer and dance instruction, painting, billiards, outdoor games, parties, and trips. The Suffolk County Office of the Aging provides all four senior centers a congregate meal plan, in which seniors may enjoy a nutritious meal at each center in a socially engaging environment. Breakfast is served daily at the Wyandanch and North Amityville centers and lunch is served daily at all four centers. Seniors who are home bound are directed to Catholic Charities, who will assess the seniors' needs and upon approval will register them for home delivered meals.

Additionally, the centers provide advocates from the Suffolk County Office for the Aging who assist the seniors with any personal issues they may encounter. Appointments with the advocates can be made directly through each center.

Seniors also receive assistance with the Heat Energy Assistance Program, IT214 forms (property tax credit for low income families) Medicaid and food stamps.
