For fifty years, the Somerset County Office on Aging & Disability Services has coordinated long-term care, nutrition, and independent-living resources for residents sixty and older — and for adults of any age living with a disability.
Since 1975, our office has served as the single front door for older adults and people with disabilities across Somerset County. We are a division of county government, funded through the federal Older Americans Act and the New Jersey Division of Aging Services — meaning most of our core services carry no cost to the resident.
From a first conversation at the kitchen table to a long-term care plan reviewed each season, our care managers, nutrition staff, and benefits counselors work alongside families across Somerville, Bridgewater, Bound Brook, Bernards, Hillsborough, and every town in between.
Every service below is available to Somerset County residents aged sixty and older, and to adults with disabilities. Most are offered at no cost; specialized supports are billed on a sliding scale based on household income.
An in-home assessment with a licensed care manager who builds a personalized service plan, coordinates providers, and checks in quarterly to adjust as needs change.
Hot, dietitian-approved lunches served weekdays at nine senior centers countywide, plus frozen home-delivered meals for homebound residents — diabetic and low-sodium options available.
Subsidized placement at licensed adult day programs across the county, giving family caregivers a protected window of rest — half-day and full-day options, weekdays only.
Door-to-door shared rides for medical appointments, grocery shopping, and congregate meal sites — operated through Somerset County Transportation, with wheelchair-accessible vehicles.
One-on-one help with Medicare open enrollment, prescription drug plan comparisons, SNAP applications, and property tax relief programs — confidential and unbiased.
Grant-funded ramps, grab bars, stair lifts, and minor safety repairs that allow residents to remain safely at home — prioritized for low-income households and veterans.
Monthly caregiver support groups, evidence-based disease-management workshops, and respite-care stipends for family members caring for a loved one with dementia or chronic illness.
Aging & Disability Resource Center
We are the only organization in Somerset County that coordinates the full continuum of aging and disability services under a single roof — meaning families never have to navigate five agencies to find one answer.
Call our intake line Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., or send the form at right. A care manager will respond within two business days to schedule a confidential in-home assessment at no cost. There is no obligation, and no question too small.
