This office administers a number of home and community-based programs for seniors and their caregivers. These programs include:
ADRC
The website for New Jersey's Aging and Disability Resource Connection (ADRC) provides seniors, adults with physical disabilities and their caregivers 24-hour access to information about services and programs designed to keep them healthy and independent in the community.
DACS Training Academy
This unit offers a number of training programs for State and County employees in the aging network and to employees of their contracted agencies.
Global Options (GO) for Long Term Care
On January 1, 2009, three Medicaid-supported home and community-based service programs were combined to create GO. This consolidation improves access to a wider range of services for a greater number of seniors and adults with physical disabilities who meet the income, asset and nursing facility level of care requirements established by Medicaid. GO participants will have the options to hire and direct their own service providers.
JACC (Jersey Assistance for Community Caregiving)
JACC is a state-funded program similar to GO, but for individuals with slightly higher incomes.
