Provides assistance for medical needs to Union County residents. Assistance includes NJ Family Care and Medicaid enrollment, as well as special programs for Medicaid-qualified individuals such as Long Term Care expense assistance, hospice programs, waivers for AIDS and Brain Injury patients, and non-emergency medical transportation.

Enables individuals to stay or return to their community instead of residing in a long-term care facility through a federal home and community-based program. It provides limited covered services such as home health, adult day care, transportation, case management, homemaker assistance, prescription aid, and respite care. Additionally, it includes the Caregiver Assistance Program (CAP) and the Assisted Living/Alternate Family Care program for those needing extra support. This initiative is now under Managed Long Term Services and Supports (MLTSS) for medical coverage.
