Welcome to NJ Advocates for Aging Well (formerly NJ Foundation for Aging)! As proud and passionate advocates since our founding in 1998, we’re working to address the issues that are critical to you.
Did you know that according to statistics, more than 23% of NJ's total population is over 60 -- and by the year 2034, ther will be more resiodents over the age of 60 than students sitting in classrooms? Studies also show that the majority of adults 50+ wish to remain in their homes and/or communities as long as possible, with a sense of independence and connection. Do you?With the number of aging adults rising rapidly, NJ families would be wise to start planning for their future living needs. However, many may not be aware that there isn’t one large leap from living in complete independence to assisted living. There are numerous steps and options along a continuum of needs, finances, preferences and opportunities.
Check our Resources and Aging Insights pages for reliable resources and information to help guide you through the process of aging with dignity and independence in your community.
