Mill Neck Services Senior Care Expansion and Empowerment (MNS SEE) offers services to  Seniors with intellectual and developmental disabilities who are Deaf or Hard-of-hearing (D/HH), assisting them to thrive in all areas of their lives.  Those areas include physical health, mental health, social health, finance, housing, and transportation.  MNS SEE is grant-funded thanks to the Mother Cabrini Health Foundation. It currently supports over 40 I/DD D/HH seniors living throughout Long Island and the New York Metro area, focusing on those with complex medical needs. MNS SEE recognizes that these individuals require care different from what is currently available and are in an environment where full communication is possible.

Using a case management model, we work closely with each senior to identify their most pressing needs and build a responsive care plan. Each participant is supported to become more:

• Knowledgeable about their options

• Competent in managing daily life

• Responsible for decisions that impact their independence
