Broome County Office for the Aging

Who We Are

The Broome County Office for Aging provides a wide array of services to residents age 60 and over and their caregivers. Many services are operated directly, while some are contracted through community agencies.

The Information and Assistance Unit can help you determine what you need, provide the information about resources or refer you to other services. We can answer your questions about benefits, assist you to obtain real property tax exemptions and credits, or help you fill out applications. We may speak on your behalf in negotiations with agencies or providers of services if you do not have family or friends to help you.

The Office for Aging Legal Services for the Elderly Program is provided by Legal Aid Society of Mid New York, at 168 Water Street, Second Floor, Binghamton, NY. The program can assist you in areas of Simple Wills, Powers of Attorney, Health Care Proxies, Living Wills and Simple Real Estate Transfers.
