SENIOR OUTREACH

Senior Outreach Coordinator - Pam Veith

The Lewisboro Senior Adult Program trips and meetings are on pause at this time due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

​

We are offering occasional meetings with fellow seniors via Zoom.  Follow our monthly newsletter for updates. Available resources include masks for Lewisboro residents, volunteer shoppers for seniors through Ride Connect Program and meals on wheels for those homebound.

​

Please call the Park & Recreation Office at 232-6162 for assistance or additional information.

MEDICARE INFORMATION AND HELPFUL RESOURCES

Call the Westchester County Department of Senior Programs and Services' Medicare Information Line at (914) 813-6100 for help with Medicare issues, including Medicare parts A, B, C and D, Medigap insurance, cost-sharing, preventive benefits and appeals. You can also ask about New York State's Elderly Pharmaceutical Insurance Coverage (EPIC); it helps eligible seniors pay prescription drug costs.
