Serving Plainview from our Stamford office
Companion care in Plainview
Friday mornings at the Senior Citizen Club on Jamaica Avenue can anchor your mother's week in Plainview, and a companion can build the other six days around it: lunch, errands, the library and company at home. Tell us how her days run now, and we'll plan the hours with you.
The first conversation is free, and nothing starts until you say so.

Care options in Plainview
Companion care, on the schedule you need
In New York we provide companion care only, and it can run by the hour, overnight, live-in or around the clock. That means company, meals, light housekeeping, errands, rides to appointments and regular updates for the family. Tell us what the days and nights are like and we’ll talk through the schedule with you.
- Hourly careHelp for the hours that are hardest, from a few mornings a week to full days. Easy to add to as needs change.
- Overnight careA caregiver who stays awake through the night hours, there when someone wakes and ready to help them settle again, so everyone in the house gets some rest.
- Live-in careA caregiver lives in the home and helps through the day with meals, routines, company and the house. Agreed rest time, including a night's sleep, is part of the arrangement.
- 24-hour careCaregivers work awake shifts, usually two 12-hour or three 8-hour shifts, so someone is up and ready to help at any hour of the day or night.
Friday mornings on Jamaica Avenue
Every Friday through the school year, the Plainview-Old Bethpage Senior Citizen Club meets at the Jamaica Ave School. Doors open at 9am, a yoga and exercise class runs from 9:30, and the meeting goes from 10am to 12:15pm. The club is for adults 55 and over, and membership is $20 a year. Meetings and parties are for residents of the Plainview-Old Bethpage community, and the club's trips and outside holiday parties are open to all guests.
A companion can drive your mother there and home again, go along to a trip or a party when she'd like company, and fill the other six days: lunch, errands, the library and the evenings.
Town classes, County lunches and a library that mails
Plainview is in the Town of Oyster Bay, whose Senior Citizen Services Division runs groups and classes for residents 60 and over at its community centers and parks, from tai chi and yoga to bingo and karaoke. They are free apart from a possible materials fee, and the Town adds luncheons, day trips and an annual Senior Picnic. Nassau County's list of senior centers assigns Plainview to the Wantagh Senior Center at St. Jude's Church, with lunch, food shopping and transportation, and also lists the Bethpage Senior Center on Grumman Road West for Nassau County residents.
If getting out is the hard part, Plainview-Old Bethpage Public Library at 999 Old Country Road runs Library To Your Door, which mails up to three items a month, free, to anyone who can't visit because of illness or disability. A companion can drive between the Town's classes and the County's centers, help with the Library To Your Door envelope, and take your mother to the library when she'd like to choose in person.
