Program areas at Caring
CARING is licensed by the NJ Department of Health and Senior Services to provide Assisted Living Program (ALP) services -nursing care, homemaker services, personal care, assistance with medication, doctor appointments and transportation to residents of publicly subsidized units in their own apartments. Currently, CARING provides ALP services to eligible residents of the Atlantic City Housing Authority Jefferies Tower, Inlet Tower and John P Whittington Center, The Best of Life building in Atlantic City, the Wildwood Housing Authority Sandman Towers, Millville Housing Authority Riverview West, East and Jaycee Plaza and Camden's Northgate II. CARING provides those residents with the services they require to "age in place" rather than move into a long-term care facility.
CARING's Social Day Program provides day programs to meet the needs of the elderly and disabled in a social setting providing interesting activities, trips and group involvement. The centers, located in Atlantic City and Millville, provide activities primarily for seniors who might otherwise have little or no means to get out into the community. The Atlantic City program now also coordinates its services with the Atlantic County Nutrition Site that is managed for the County by CARING.
The CARING Memory Resource Center, which is located in Mays Landing, is a social daycare program available Monday through Friday for those sixty years of age and older with a memory impairment. Participants enjoy a safe and secure environment that is highlighted by the experienced, compassionate staff. Stimulating, therapeutic activities include board and card games, arts and crafts, chair exercises, reminiscing, parties, and trips. Assistance with personal care is provided in the completely accessible CARING Memory Resource Center. Tasty lunches are made fresh daily in the CARING kitchen. Transportation is provided in fully accessible vehicles.
