A 4177 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires DOH to develop mobile senior citizen assistance program.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Health (DOH) to create a mobile assistance program for seniors within 180 days. The program will deploy staffed vehicles to nursing homes, senior centers, low-income housing, and community events across the state. It provides direct help with practical needs like completing applications, accessing health services, using technology, transportation, tax assistance, and legal support. The DOH must develop this using existing funds and establish necessary rules under state law. The bill directly affects seniors, particularly those in low-income housing or with limited mobility who need hands-on help with daily services.
