Ludington Adult Day Registrants Welcome
Assemblyman George Latimer
Recently,
Ludington Adult Day Registrants learned from
Assemblyman George Latimer about “unclaimed
funds” being administered by the State of New
York . In order to gain insight into what his
constituency considers important, Assemblyman
Latimer frequently interacts with those he
serves – and that includes visits with the folks
at Ludington, who are long-time friends of this
91st District representative. Assemblyman
Latimer usually stops by monthly to solicit
their input as well as keep these engaged
seniors informed about State legislation that
may affect them or their Adult Day Program.
Recognizing the
difficulties faced by individuals living on
fixed incomes, this compassionate Assemblyman
spoke to the Registrants about “unclaimed funds”
held by New York State . He explained the
Comptroller’s role as custodian of inactive
accounts from banks, insurance companies,
utilities, and many other businesses. Then he
offered to work with anyone interested in
searching the State database. For over an hour,
Assemblyman Latimer assisted individuals to
research their name for possible monies.
George Latimer ’s information and help resulted
in at least one surprised Registrant. She
discovered “long forgotten” money and was
pleased that Mr. Latimer not only assisted her
in locating the funds, but also worked with her
on the necessary paperwork to claim it.
Commenting on his
recent visit, Assemblyman George Latimer said,
“The Unclaimed Funds Session is one more example
of the team at Ludington Adult Day Care and
Sound Shore Medical Center working to help the
members of their extended “family” of
registrants.” He concluded, “I’m pleased to be
a part of that effort by heading this event”.
Assemblyman Latimer
encourages everyone to explore the State site,
www.osc.state.ny.us ,
and the topic unclaimed funds. Inquiries can be
made to the Office of the State Comptroller,
Office of Unclaimed Funds, 110 State Street ,
Albany , NY 12236 or by calling 1-800-221-9311.
As soon as proof of entitlement is confirmed,
the funds are paid out in full. There is no fee
for the service. Who knows... some of the
billions being held by New York State may be
yours.
Ludington’s Adult
Day Services Program is a medical model that
provides comprehensive medical, therapeutic and
rehabilitation treatment. This allows rest for
caregivers and allows seniors and individuals
with chronic conditions, who need some medical
support – but not around the clock – to remain
in their home setting while receiving daytime
support.

information on Ludington, call the Director,
Pearl Hacker, LCSW at 914.365.4220 or email
