A 1182 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires DOH to develop mobile senior citizen assistance program.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Health (DOH) to create and implement a mobile senior citizen assistance program within 180 days using existing funds. The program would deploy staffed vehicles to locations like nursing homes, senior centers, low-income housing, and community events to provide seniors with direct help. Services include assistance with applications, health care appointments, internet/computer use, tax filing, legal support, transportation, and food services. It directly affects seniors, particularly those in underserved communities or facilities, by offering on-site support for daily needs.
