Nutrition Programs for the Elderly
Congregate Nutrition
Home Delivered Meals
Program Summary:
Southold Town Senior Services is a multipurpose senior center that provides nutrition
and community-based support services to Town residents aged 60 and older. Our
Senior Services program was established in 1974 and stands as one of the first Town
sponsored nutrition sites in Suffolk County:According to the 2010 U.S. Census Data,
the senior population density of seniors aged 60 and older in Southold Town is
32.23%. One out of every three of our residents is a senior citizen. For the past 50
years, our partnership with New York State and Suffolk County Office for the Aging
has allowed us to deliver vital services to seniors in Southold Town which includes
providing over 2 million hot nutritious meals to eligible seniors in both our
congregate dining and home delivered meals programs. With their guidance,technical
assistance, ongoing support and funding, our programs have grown in direct response
to the ever-changing needs of our population.
Congregate meals are served at the Town's Senior Nutrition Program located in
Mattituck.Home delivered meals are provided for seniors who have an acute or
chronic disability and/or frailty that renders them homebound and unable to shop and
cook for themselves. For the 1/1/24— 12/31/24 program year,the Town of Southold
provided 5,570 congregate meals, 6,235 "grab and go"meals and 23,752 home
delivered meals for an annual total of 35,557 meals. Our 2025 daily service goal for
home delivered meals is 112 and 53 for congregate meals which also includes a"grab
and go"option.
For the 2025 program year, our anticipated income for the Congregate Dining
Program is $45,000.00 and$75,000.00 for the Home Delivered Meals Program. Our
suggested, voluntary and anonymous contribution will remain at$4.00 per meal for
eligible seniors. Seniors are informed that suggested contributions are voluntary and
anonymous and that no senior will be denied a meal for inability or unwillingness to
contribute. This is accomplished through printed materials, signage and through
regular announcements. Envelopes are provided both to seniors receiving home
delivered and congregate meals. For the 2024 program year, our total voluntary
contributions were$41,642.00 for the congregate program, including"grab and go"
meals and$68,620.00 for home delivered meals. This is based on the suggested$4.00
contribution. To ensure we continue to provide a high-quality service, food
satisfaction surveys are given to all seniors annually and a suggestion box is onsite.
Feedback from participants is carefully reviewed and when possible,adjustments are
made based on their recommendations. Client rights and grievance policies and
procedures are posted throughout the building and sent to the home.
Assessment Plane
In following the guidelines set forth under the Older Americans Act, Southold Town
Senior Services is committed to our goal of providing nutrition and support services
to elderly residents in our community. We employ two Case Managers who are our
primary assessors for home delivered meals recipients.Ntozake Hatcher, MPA and
Auristhela Reinen BSW, CASAC have extensive experience in working with seniors.
Our Senior Citizens Center Manager, Shatina Jayne, acts as a back-up in home
assessor as needed to avoid service delay. Client assessments and care plans are
completed on all eligible seniors who request home delivered meals. Service is
initiated when a client, family member or other service provider makes a referral by
calling the Center.An intake is completed with basic information provided and an
initial home visit is scheduled with the senior and/or family caregiver to complete the
full client assessment.Once eligibility is determined,the client is provided service in
a timely manner.Each client is provided with a packet of information which includes
a program policy and procedure guide and a comprehensive list of support services
available. Six month follow up contact is made by telephone to each client and
typically an in-home visit is completed at least once annually by our assessors. In
2024, 143 in home assessments and 84 follow up contacts were completed. Virgina
Fey, Senior Adult Day Program Supervisor of our Adult Day Care Program Katinka
House,provides outreach and assistance for clients with Alzheimer's disease/related
disorders and their family caregivers.
The Peer Place program currently utilized by New York State Office for the Aging is
accessed by our authorized users through the Department of Health's Health
Commerce System (HCS)secure web portal that includes client profile's,the
assessment tool,workflow pathways and reporting components.All event profiles and
services provided are completed by assessors and designated program staff,Diane
DiSalvo,Account Clerk,Ntozake Hatcher, Case Manager,Karen Pierzchanowski,
Office Assistant and Auristhela Reinen,Case Manager. Shatina Jayne, Senior
Citizens Center Manager, is responsible for all required monthly reporting to maintain
full compliance with Suffolk County Office for the Aging.
To optimize outcomes for seniors,close working relationships have been established
with regular meetings of the Health Care Issues and Services for Seniors Committee.
The meeting scheduled quarterly,hosts representatives from several agencies
providing hospital and community-based services to seniors.This has allowed our
staff to develop effective working relationships and remain current on information
regarding programs and services beneficial to our seniors.
Equal Access to Services and Targeting Plan:
In following the guidelines set forth under the Older Americans Act, Southold Town
Senior Services is committed to our goal of providing nutrition and support services
to our elderly residents.According to the 2010 U.S. Census, 3.47%of the elderly
residents in Southold Town are minority. Targeting the low-income minority elderly
living in Southold Town,particularly in the Village of Greenport remains a high
priority. In 2024,we were successful in our efforts as 7.2%of seniors served in the
Nutrition Program for the Elderly were minorities.
Southold Town Senior Services continues to increase our visibility and expand access
to our services. In 2019 Family Service League established a Naturally Occurring
Retirement Community(NORC)Program in Greenport in partnership with the Town
of Southold,New York State Office for the Aging, and Stony Brook Eastern Long
Island Hospital.The Long Island Sound Senior Care Program(NORC) operates in the
Greenport and serves a senior population with a large minority and low-income
minority elderly population.
Southold Town Senior Services continues to be a mobile distribution site for
commodity food distribution for eligible homebound seniors since entering into an
agreement with Island Harvest in 2020. The NORC staff currently assists us in
identifying and delivering to low income and low-income minority seniors in
Greenport. Other seniors identified by senior services staff as low income and eligible
for food commodities receive regular monthly deliveries by our staff. In 2025,we
will continue outreach efforts with the Center for Advocacy, Support and
Transformation(CAST)to assist in identifying vulnerable seniors. CAST serves a
large minority and low-income population in Southold Town which is an effective
connection to expand our reach to the low income and/or minority elderly.

As a contractor with SCOFA,we are in compliance with the requirements set forth by
Equal Access to Services and Targeting Policy(12-PI 08)and the Telephonic
Interpretation Policy(12-IM-03)and are committed to expanding free access to the
most vulnerable elderly,particularly those with limited English proficiency.Signage
is posted at all entrances to our facility informing all participants in several
languages that this free service is available to all. All program staff have been
trained on the use of the language translation and interpretation services. We have
provided information on the Town's website and have posted the service at the
entrance of our facility. We are currently in contract with Geneva Worldwide
Language Services for telephonic interpretation and document translation services. In
addition, Southold Town entered into a supplemental contract for language
interpretation services called Language Line Solutions in May 2022. We also have
bilingual staff on site that provide assistance with interpretation and advocacy in
Spanish for our seniors as needed.
In 2015, Southold Senior Center became an enrollment site for the Aged,Blind and
Disabled(ABD)program in partnership with the Nassau-Suffolk Hospital Council, a
certified navigator agency for the New York State of Health Marketplace. The New
York State grant-funded ABD program can assist anyone who falls into one of three
categories; certified blind, certified disabled or 65 years of age and older with access
to Medicaid and/or Medicare coverage.
Through Community Development Block Grant(CDBG) funding in 2016, Southold
Town initiated a free portable ramp lending program to assist seniors in accessing
their homes for periods of temporary illness or incapacity.The ramps are installed by
our Maintenance Mechanic to seniors eligible for our Residential Repair Program and
they are given an opportunity to make a voluntary and anonymous contribution to the
program.Proceeds are used to expand the program. The Town also assists income
eligible seniors with necessary modifications through the home repair program funded
with community development block grant funds. Our Residential Repair Program is
also available to install grab bars or other adaptive devices to assist seniors in need of
special equipment. In early 2024, Southold Town Senior Services initiated the
operation a newly purchased handicapped accessible van through the CDBG program.
This is the second handicapped van added to our fleet which enhances our ability to
safely transport frail and vulnerable seniors. This new vehicle is also equipped with
adjustable track seating which allows for safe distancing between riders during
transport.
Southold Town Senior Services previously partnered with the SAGE organization in
providing on site services and activities to the LGBT community on the North Fork.
While they no longer provide direct services on site,we do provide SAGE's print
information to seniors and post all announcements regarding events and programs on
our community bulletin board. We also make direct referrals to anyone needing their
services.
We continue to broaden our community outreach efforts to include daily public
service announcements on Cablevision Channel 22—Government Access Television
and WLNG-Radio/92.1FM. In addition to our existing print outreach activities of
brochures,newspapers, senior center menus and activity calendars,we are featured in
Eastern Long Island Hospital's newsletter along with Seniors Options and Solutions
Program(SOS). The newsletter,which has a town wide distribution,has a dedicated
section for seniors highlighting the programs and services available to them.Eastern
Long Island Hospital's SOS Program also provides monthly wellness seminars at the
Senior Center in conjunction with local health services providers and provides round
trip transportation to any interested senior. Southold Town's website
www.southoldtownny.us post'§all Senior Center menus and activities weekly along
with important links for forms and services can be easily accessed. In addition,we
continue to work closely with local civic associations such as the Mattituck Laurel
Civic Association, Orient Civic Association,East Marion Civic Association,New
Suffolk Civic Association, Greenport and Southold Rotary Clubs, Mattituck, Southold
and Cutchogue's Lions Clubs, Kait's Angels,and others as part of outreach plans.

Grievance Procedures
I. Purpose
A. In accordance with § 306(a)(10) of the Older Americans Act, as amended (OAA),
Suffolk County Office for the Aging has established the following process for resolving the
complaints from older persons who are dissatisfied with or denied services funded under Title III of
the Act.
II. Notifyina Participants of Right to File Grievance
A. The Contractor shall notify participants and applicants of their right to file a grievance, as
follows:
1) A summary of the procedures, including a statement that assistance to file shall be
provided to older persons, must be prominently posted at service delivery sites or offices at
which participants and service applicants apply for services. Summaries shall also be
written in languages other than English where needed to serve the client/applicant
population.
2) In-home services participants shall be informed of the grievance procedures through
written and verbal statements provided to them upon assessment and/or reassessment for
services.
B. Denial of Service. Any participant or applicant who is denied Title III services must be given the
reasons for the denial. For housekeeping, homemaker, home delivered meals; case management, and
other services for which written applications are made, the denial shall be confirmed in writing and
the applicant informed of the right to file a grievance and of the individual to whom the grievance
shall be addressed. For congregate meals, transportation, recreation, and other services which are
applied for by telephone or verbally in person, the client may be told of the right to file a grievance
verbally.
III. Grievance Process
A. Filing of Grievance
1) Participants must submit their grievances in writing to the person(s) that has been designated by
a service provider to conduct the initial review. The reviewer may be the director of the service
provider agency, or any other person designated by such director who is not familiar with or
otherwise involved in the particular grievance.

Nutrition Program for the Elderly 001-6797/KPT1-4980-95230
001-6776/KONI-4980-95230
2) The grievance should be filed within thirty (30) days of denial, reduction, or termination of
services, or of the event or circumstance with which the participant is dissatisfied. The service
provider may grant an extension for good cause shown.
3) The grievance should be filed on the enclosed form, which shall include a written statement
setting forth in detail the date, time, and circumstances that are the basis of the complaint.
B. Investigation and Response to Grievance
1) The designated reviewer who performs the initial review shall investigate the grievance. If
appropriate, this may include meeting with the grievant and/or other persons involved in the
action(s) complained of or in the denial of services. The reviewer shall review all pertinent facts
and/or documents, and shall determine whether the complained-of agency action or
determination was consistent with applicable federal and State laws, regulations, and policies.
2) The designated reviewer shall prepare and send a written response to the grievant within fifteen
(15) days after the grievance is filed. The response shall set forth the circumstances relating to
the grievance, the action requested by the grievant, the findings of the reviewer, a proposed
remedial action, if any, and an explanation of the determination, including the facts relied upon.
A copy of its decision must be forwarded to the Director of the Suffolk County Office for the
Aging.
3) The designated reviewer shall create and maintain a Complaint File consisting of the grievance
form, all documents and/or information relied upon in making a determination, and the written
response described above.
C. Appeal of Initial Response/Decision. If the complaint has been handled by a service provider
agency under subcontract to the Suffolk County Office for the Aging and the grievant is not
satisfied with the determination reached by such service provider, the grievant has the right to
further review as follows:
1) The grievant may initiate a request for subsequent review by the Suffolk County Office for the
Aging Director, P.O. Box 6100, Hauppauge, New York 11788-0099 within twenty (20) calendar
days following receipt of notification by the service provider agency of its decision.
2) The Suffolk County Office for the Aging Director shall request, and the subcontractor agency
shall provide, copies of the Complaint File. The Suffolk County Office for the Aging Director
will review the materials to ensure that pertinent policies and procedures have been applied and
followed. If appropriate, the Suffolk County Office for the Aging Director or his/her designee
will meet with the grievant to allow for an opportunity to present information about the
grievance.

procedures have not been applied, the Suffolk County Office for the Aging reserves the right to
overturn the decision. The subsequent review shall be completed within forty-five (45) days of
receipt of the request by the grievant and the grievant will be promptly notified in writing of the
result of the subsequent review.

relevant documents and records. This shall include at a minimum: the initial grievance; any
investigative reports; any written response submitted by the Suffolk County Office for the Aging or
service provider agency; any documents or other records submitted by any party; the written Initial
Response of the agency; and, if applicable, the notice to the grievant of the right to appeal.

grievant unless the disclosure is required by court order or program monitoring by authorized agencies.
