Division of Senior Services

The Essex County Division of Senior Services in Belleville, NJ, is dedicated to empowering seniors and adults with physical disabilities by providing essential programs and resources tailored to their needs. As the primary hub for planning and coordinating services for individuals aged 60 and over, we offer a comprehensive array of support, including Adult Protective Services, Caregiver Assistance, Home Delivered Meals, and Transportation services. Our programs emphasize consumer-directed care, ensuring that individuals have the autonomy to make informed decisions regarding their personal care. From financial counseling and legal aid to home modifications and health insurance advice, we strive to enhance the quality of life for our residents. With outreach initiatives such as Jersey Assistance for Community Caregivers and our Senior Citizen Newspaper, we are committed to fostering a supportive environment that prioritizes the dignity and independence of our senior community.
