A Look at the Counties: Rating Services for Senior Citizens
However, there are stark differences among the seven counties. Orange and Putnam Counties are the only counties in the Mid-Hudson Valley where a majority of residents feel positively about the services offered to senior citizens in their community. 54% of Orange County residents rate the quality of local senior services positively as do 58% of Putnam County residents. In addition, 49% of Dutchess County residents feel positively about the quality of services available to senior citizens compared with 38% who do not.
Residents within the other counties of the Mid-Hudson Valley are less satisfied with the quality of services offered to senior citizens in their community. Residents of Greene and Ulster Counties divide on this point. About half of residents of both Columbia and Sullivan Counties rate the services available to seniors as only fair or poor.
