Resources Designed for New Jersey's Senior Citizens
The New Jersey Division of Aging and Community Services administers programs designed to help seniors in our state get the help they need. Most of these services are administered locally by county-based Area Agencies on Aging (AAA). New Jersey EASE (Easy Access Single Entry) is the state's senior service delivery system.
New Jersey EASE provides seniors and their families with an easy way to find information about and access to senior services throughout the state. By calling their toll-free number, you will be connected with a person working in an agency in your county who understands the programs and services for seniors and will be able to help you access them if you are eligible.
New Jersey EASE staff members have been trained to provide information on such things as healthcare, insurance, home care services, long term care options, transportation, social activities, nutrition, volunteer opportunities and more.
Contact New Jersey EASE by dialing 877-222-3737. To find your local New Jersey EASE office, also known as an Area Agency on Aging (AAA) or County Office on Aging, click here.
Pick up the phone and dial 2-1-1 when you need help.
You are encouraged to dial “2-1-1” 24 hours a day, seven days a week if you need help in understanding and finding available assistance services. Language translation and TTY services are offered to any caller. You can also
search the database of services in your local community or Chat Live with an experienced community resource specialist. 2-1-1 will help identify with you the best local resources to fit your individual needs during times of financial distress or for life’s everyday situations. If you know of additional resources that would be appropriate to include, please let us know by contacting us via e-mail at info@nj211.org.
