PSEG Long Island Launches Innovative Senior Program
PSEG Long Island recently unveiled an innovative program designed to support the safety and well-being of seniors in the community. The program, aptly named “Senior Connections,” aims to educate and empower older adults on crucial topics such as storm preparation, scam prevention, electric safety, energy efficiency, and financial assistance.
In a statement released by PSEG Long Island, the utility company highlighted the key focus areas of the Senior Connections program. Through informative seminars led by experts, seniors will receive invaluable knowledge and resources to navigate these essential topics with confidence. These seminars will be conducted in partnership with various community-based organizations, libraries, schools, and other local institutions.
The inaugural event for the Senior Connections program took place at the Glen Cove YMCA, where seniors gathered to participate in a safety presentation. This initial session set the stage for future events, which are scheduled to take place in Huntington and New Hyde Park. The diverse range of locations ensures that seniors from different areas have access to this vital information.
Michael Presti, Director of Customer Experience and Marketing at PSEG Long Island, expressed the company’s dedication to supporting older adults through the Senior Connections program. “We created this Senior Connections program to enhance our commitment to older adults in the community,” Presti stated. He emphasized the program’s accessibility by offering it at locations that are convenient for seniors to attend, free of charge.
The importance of this program cannot be overstated, as it addresses critical issues that directly impact the safety and well-being of seniors. By providing valuable information on storm preparation, scam prevention, electric safety, energy efficiency, and financial assistance, PSEG Long Island is empowering seniors to make informed decisions that will enhance their quality of life.
Empowering Seniors Through Education and Support
Education is a powerful tool, especially when it comes to empowering seniors to protect themselves and their homes. The Senior Connections program goes beyond basic safety tips by delving into a comprehensive range of topics that are relevant to seniors’ daily lives. From learning how to prepare for severe weather events to identifying common scams targeting older adults, the program equips seniors with the knowledge they need to stay safe and secure.
One of the key aspects of the Senior Connections program is the collaboration with local community organizations, which ensures that seniors have access to resources and support beyond the seminar sessions. By fostering partnerships with community-based groups, libraries, schools, and other institutions, PSEG Long Island is creating a network of support that extends far beyond the classroom.
Looking Towards a Brighter Future for Seniors
As the Senior Connections program continues to expand its reach and impact, the future looks promising for seniors in the community. By offering essential information on electric safety, energy efficiency, and financial assistance, PSEG Long Island is paving the way for a safer and more secure environment for older adults. Through ongoing education and support, seniors can navigate the complexities of modern living with confidence and peace of mind.
