Resources for NJ Senior Citizens
Senior Citizens can experience loneliness, depression, medical issues, financial problems, substance abuse and addiction, among other things. In fact, according to Do Something.org, over 15.5 million American seniors live alone and face isolation due to location, disability, or language barriers. There is nothing more important than family support. Please take the time to be there and take advantage of your state and local resources listed below.
