WHY AND HOW TO JOIN
WHY JOIN NJAHSA - CONTINUING CARE RETIREMENT COMMUNITIES (CCRC)
Enhancing quality of life service and support for New Jersey senior citizens has been NJAHSA's mission since 1931. In fact, NJAHSA is the only association in New Jersey that represents the entire spectrum of non-profit and public long-term care and senior housing settings. Our more than 135 members serve an estimated 25,000 senior citizens from New Jersey annually. Continuing care retirement communities are of particular importance to NJAHSA because of their invaluable ability to promote independence, preserve self-respect, and provide the highest quality physical, spiritual and emotional support throughout the entire continuum of senior care.
NJAHSA's recent efforts in the CCRC industry have included:
- Analysis, monitoring, and advocacy pertaining to legislation and regulations such as the exemption of CCRC's from the state's Provider/Bed Tax program, maintaining adherence to the Resident Return Act, and pursuing the reestablishment of the Continuing Care Advisory Council
- Implementing on-going Roundtable Discussion Meetings for Human Resource Directors, Chief Financial Officers, and Housing Administrators
