The New Jersey Division of Aging and Community Services (DACS) administers programs designed to make it easier for seniors to get the help they need to support their well-being and maintain themselves in the community for as long as possible with independence, dignity and choice.
Our Website has been designed with you, the consumer, in mind.
Under Getting Answers you will find out whom to contact at the State or in your community to learn about and access senior and caregiver services.
Under Staying Healthy you will get information about Medicare options, nutrition, health education and other programs that help you maintain and improve your health.
Getting Help at Home details programs that help people in need of long-term care services get help in their home or a community setting rather than in a nursing home.
Staying Safe explains how vulnerable adults living at home or in institutions are protected from abuse, neglect and exploitation.
