NEW JERSEY DDD OFFERING $6M TO RELOCATE NURSING HOME RESIDENTS

New Jersey's Division of Developmental Disabilities feels that nursing homes do not provide sufficient monitoring and resources for individuals with developmental and behavioral challenges, including those diagnosed with Down syndrome and Cerebral Palsy. In response, the DDD is allocating $6 million to construct and enhance homes to accommodate approximately 100 of these residents with specialized care.

“We are going to get 100 people out, but now 100 more people will go back in because you don't have the infrastructure in the community to appropriately support those individuals,”

CHUG provides long-term care organizations with expert coordination of evacuation, transportation, relocation and shelter-in-place services. We also offer our expertise with response and restoration services, including fire and water damage, mold remediation, infectious disease clean-up and catastrophic loss.
