Partners In Caring

Partners In Caring helps people age in place in the community.  It provides the support of a care coordinator who is your primary contact person.  The care coordinator partners with you and your family to identify strengths and areas where support would be helpful.   An assessment and care plan help you connect to local resources that will support your plan to remain at home.  The care coordinator stays in touch to make adjustments to the plan as your needs change, and to be available to you as your first point of contact.  This program is available to residents in the Greater Princeton area.

Services include:

• Care coordination--helping people find and connect with the services they need, both within and outside the collaborative. Care coordinators do an assessment of each persons needs, risks and available resources and create a care plan. Care coordinators also check in periodically with phone calls or home visits.
• Counseling and consultations-helping people with the transitions of the second half of life, helping families make plans, and facilitating communication.
