Curated Edison and Middlesex County senior resources — senior centers, county aging services, NJ state agencies, and the federal offices families need most.
Frequently asked questions
- Where is the Edison Senior Center?
- The Edison Senior Center operates as part of the Edison Township Department of Recreation and serves residents 60 and older with daily programming, meals, fitness classes, and trips. The current address and program calendar are on the Edison Township website. Many of our caregivers know the parking lot and the program schedule by heart — a respite block scheduled around the senior center's lunch hour is a familiar pattern for Roosevelt Park and Clara Barton families.
- Who runs the Middlesex County Office on Aging?
- The Middlesex County Office on Aging and Disabled Services is part of the Middlesex County Department of Health and Human Services. The office provides information and referral, congregate meals, transportation, caregiver support, and Medicare and Medicaid counseling for county residents. Their main office is in New Brunswick.
- What does the NJ Division of Aging Services do?
- The New Jersey Division of Aging Services is the state-level agency that coordinates Older Americans Act programs, manages the state's Aging and Disability Resource Connection, and administers components of New Jersey's Medicaid Managed Long-Term Services and Supports program. The Division's website is part of NJ.gov and is the right starting point for state-level eligibility questions about Medicaid home and community-based services.
- How do I report concerns about elder abuse or neglect?
- New Jersey's Adult Protective Services system handles reports of suspected abuse, neglect, or exploitation of vulnerable adults. The Middlesex County Adult Protective Services office accepts reports by phone; the state hotline is also available 24/7. Reports can be made anonymously. If the situation is an immediate emergency, call 911 first.
