 Our Objectives:
The Bayonne Office on Aging is the focal point for more
than 12,500 local seniors, providing direct services and
benefits available through national, state, county and
local community agencies.
The primary objectives are to help the elderly reach their
fullest potential; to make them aware of their rights
under the law; to make the public aware of the frail
elderly problem areas and to seek solutions to these
problems; to insure a lifelong continuum with a focus on
program participation and fostering maximum independence.

Care Management
Care Management
is the development
of a coherent care plan for
arranging and coordinating the delivery of multiple services
to vulnerable and/or functionally impaired older
individuals. This is a community-based program that helps
older residents remain home and delay or prevent
institutionalization. Services can be paid for from a
variety of public or private sources and includes a
comprehensive assessment, care plan development, care plan
implementation, monitoring and reassessment. Eligibility is
based on financial needs as well as ability and desire to
remain in the community with formal and informal supports.
The plan is developed in cooperation with the client and/or
the client’s guardian or designated representative. For more
information please call
201-858-6119.
