The New Jersey Division of Aging conducted a seminar on January 15 at the Ocean County Sheriff’s Law Enforcement Training Center in Little Egg Harbor. This event was organized at the request of Senator Carmen Amato, Jr., Assemblyman Brian Rumpf, and Assemblyman Gregory Myhre. The seminar focused on state senior programs and services, presented by a representative from the Division.
Amato, Rumpf, and Myhre extended the invitation to the Division due to the high concentration of senior citizens in their 9th Legislative District. The public was informed about this seminar beforehand by the Delegation.
The 9th District Delegation released a statement saying: “There is a wide array of State senior programs and services that we wanted our constituents to have more information on and be able ask questions of state personnel with specific expertise. The Division of Aging representative provided a very thorough and informative presentation to those in attendance."
They further added: “The Division of Aging’s seminar is another example of our Delegation’s continuing efforts to bring state services directly to our constituents. Any senior community interested in hosting a seminar should feel free to contact our District Office.”
During the seminar, representatives from the Ocean County Health Department were present to offer health screenings. Additionally, the 9th District Delegation set up a table providing information on various state programs and services.
In their statement, they also expressed gratitude: “Importantly, we would like to thank Ocean County Board of Commissioners Director John P. Kelly and the entire Board of Commissioners for quickly making critical county resources readily accessible to attendees. The health screenings augmented the seminar’s key focus on senior services and, overall, enhanced the experience for those who braved the cold weather for the event. We also want to extend our appreciation to Ocean County Sheriff Mike Mastronardy for making his office’s facilities available for the seminar, which is consistent with his Office’s commitment to public service.”
Attendees received pamphlets from the Division containing details about its Program Guide available online. Additional information was shared about NJSave Programs designed to assist low-income older adults and individuals with disabilities in saving money on Medicare premiums, prescription costs, and other living expenses.
