Suffolk County is the easternmost county of New York and is home to ten towns. Over 17% of residents are adults over 65, according to the U.S. Census — slightly more than the national rate.

Home care costs $5,148 on average in the county, per Genworth Financial’s 2021 Cost of Care Survey. While home care provides personal care for seniors, home health care costs slightly more and offers minor medical services, such as wound care.
