Keynote speaker Mae Carpenter, commissioner of Westchester County’s Department of Senior Programs and Services (DSPS), will discuss the countywide Livable Communities initiative.

The goal of Livable Communities is to support a good quality of life for people of all ages and enable seniors to remain in their homes as they age with independence, dignity and civic involvement. The initiative is DSPS’ signature project.

Angela Deleon, masters programs manager at People’s United Bank, will discuss financial scams often targeted at the elderly and how seniors can avoid them.

The summit will also bring together first-responders including representatives from law enforcement, fire and emergency medical services. Michael Liverzani, Mamaroneck’s ambulance district administrator, will discuss emergency response teams and how seniors can be part of this important community service. 

Representatives from Con Edison and Verizon will be present to discuss their services to benefit seniors.

Volunteers with the East Central Livable Communities Connection at Family Services of Westchester are especially encouraged to attend this event.

The program is made possible by People’s United Bank and the Jewish Home Lifecare/Sarah Neuman Center. The Westchester Public/Private Partnership for Aging Services, DSPS and its Livable Community initiative and the Mamaroneck Village Police Department are also sponsors.
