Every year, the Ocean County Office of Senior Services is required by the State of New Jersey, Division on Aging Services to conduct an Area Plan Needs Assessment. The county will use the results of this assessment to help determine the services that best meet the needs of our seniors. Please fill out the survey here or at the link below.  In addition to the survey, there will be a public hearing to advocate for services and programs, like Meals on Wheels of Ocean County, on May 23rd from 10-12pm at the RWJ Behavioral Health Center (1691 Rt. 9 in Toms River). You can also provide written testimony to crosetto@co.ocean.nj.us. They would like to hear from older adults, caregivers, senior advocacy groups, service providers and the general public.
