Frequently Asked Questions

The State adds that each Area Agency on Aging also leads its county's Aging & Disability Resource Connection. That gives older adults, adults with disabilities, and caregivers one place to start when they need information on long term services and supports. Writing your questions down before the call helps you get more from it.

The Division lists a phone line for Atlantic County's service, where people in Egg Harbor Township, NJ, can ask about hours, how to book a ride, and any fees.
Before calling, it helps to jot down the trips that come up most, such as doctor visits or shopping. Note any mobility needs, too, like a wheelchair or walker.

The Atlantic County Library System's Egg Harbor Township Branch, at 1 Swift Avenue, lists public computers and internet access, free Wi-Fi, and black-and-white and color printing. It also offers mobile printing, a copier with free scan-to-email, a scanner and fax machine, and exam proctoring.

A good first step is listing the daily help someone needs. Then choose several assisted living communities from the listings and tour each with matching questions. It also helps to know the New Jersey Long-Term Care Ombudsman. This one statewide office covers Atlantic County. It calls itself an independent advocate for anyone getting long-term care.
The Ombudsman looks into claims of abuse, neglect, and exploitation of people who live in long-term care. Keeping its name handy matters once someone has moved in. On tours, jot notes about care plans, night staffing, and family communication, so comparing later is simple.
