Program Description


“The Jersey Assistance for Community Caregiving Program is a State-funded program that provides a broad array of in-home services to enable an individual, at risk of placement in a nursing facility and who meets income and resource requirements, to remain in his or her community home. By providing a uniquely designed package of supports for the individual, JACC delays or prevents placement in a nursing facility.”

“Jersey Assistance for Community Caregiving participants work together with a care manager to develop a plan of care to best meet their needs. The care manager works with the participant to ensure that services are delivered as planned. Based on the results of a clinical assessment, the plan of care is developed collaboratively by the participant and his/her care manager.”
