"This session, I am proud to have passed legislation to expand services for elders, such as non-medical in-home services and ancillary services, without a physician's order or prescription and repealing cost-sharing requirements. I am fighting for stronger protections against consumer and financial fraud. Our bill to establish a public awareness campaign to educate older adults, and/or their caregivers, on how to detect and prevent elder financial exploitation passed unanimously in the Assembly."
"Our community office on York Avenue on the Upper East Side is a hub for information and constituent services. As a storefront next to the post office, between our two senior centers, and conveniently behind the bus shelter, we pride ourselves on being accessible to neighbors. We offer no-cost services including a notary public, paper shredding events, a bi-monthly housing legal clinic, and a mammogram scan van, to name a few."
Rebecca A. Seawright represents Manhattan's 76th Assembly District, including the Upper East Side, Yorkville, and Roosevelt Island. She passed legislation expanding elder services, allowing non-medical in-home and ancillary services without a physician's order or prescription and repealing cost-sharing requirements. She advanced protections against consumer and financial fraud and promoted a public awareness campaign to educate older adults and caregivers on detecting and preventing elder financial exploitation, which passed unanimously in the Assembly. Her York Avenue community office offers accessible, no-cost constituent services such as notary services, paper shredding, a bi-monthly housing legal clinic, and a mammogram scan van. Housing affordability and tenant security remain primary concerns due to rising rents and challenges in regulated and unregulated units.
