Overview
This bill creates a telephone chat-line service in New Jersey, operated by the Division of Aging Services, to connect older adults who may be feeling isolated with volunteers. Seniors can register to receive weekly phone calls, and volunteers can register to provide emotional support through these check-ins. The program emphasizes confidentiality and requires the Department of Human Services to develop regulations to support its implementation.
