Our beautiful three-story building located in the heart of downtown Glen Cove was recently dedicated to founder and former Mayor Vincent Suozzi whose vision to provide support to senior citizens 60 years of age and over has been realized with a dedicated staff, extraordinary volunteers and generous funding from the Nassau County Department of Senior Citizen Affairs through the New York State Office for the Aging, and the United States Administration on Aging, as well as the City of Glen Cove.

What makes our Center unique among the sixteen county-wide senior community service centers is not only the energy of hundreds of seniors’ spirits but the diverse continuum of care we provide for the active young senior and the young at heart as well as the more frail senior who thrives from our Adult Day Program and Friendly Visiting Services.

While our multi-faceted wellness classes, workshops and health screenings focus on prevention, we delight in the intellectual stimulation of our Life Long Learning Center, weekly discussion groups, computer training, cultural arts celebrations, excursions and intergenerational partnerships.  We also take great pride in our wide-spread and distinctive community outreach programs.  Despite our age - or perhaps because of it - we are devoted activists and continually advocate for housing, health, financial and social issues that foster independence, dignity and peace of mind.  We provide entitlement information,  referral, short-term counseling and case work assistance to individuals and families in need and offer a wide array of recreational activities to enhance physical and emotional well-being.

A delicious hot or cold lunch of your choosing, and curb-to-curb transportation (or ample parking if you drive), offer the backdrop each weekday to revisiting an old hobby, discovering a special interest or just spending a relaxing afternoon with friends.

Many organizations offer exciting trips, neighborhood gyms offer elaborate exercise programs, libraries and colleges offer adult education courses, and cafes offer coffee and conversation, but it is rare to find all of these activities under one roof and where a feeling of "family” embraces you as you age.  The Glen Cove Senior Center is often thought of as a home away from home and warmly welcomes you to become a part of our family. 

Whether you spend an hour, a day, or season after season with us, we look forward to sharing all the joy the later years can hold.
