our mission

 

Planned Lifetime Assistance of New Jersey (PLAN|NJ), a nonprofit organization, helps the families of people with disabilities create an answer to the question: “Who will care for my loved one when I’m gone?” A person with intellectual, developmental or physical disabilities, or with mental health challenges, needs a bedrock of individually-designed support. 

There are so many questions to answer:

“What home environment is best?” 

“Who will visit her when I cannot?”

“How will his medical costs be covered?”

“What activities and support does she need to thrive?”

We offer exemplary care coordination, guided oversight of financial affairs, and compassionate actions to enhance quality of life. We partner with families to provide their loved ones a lifetime of assistance. Whether services are needed now or in the future, we initiate assistance whenever a family is ready, helping maintain continuity and peace of mind for all concerned.

Whether they live with intellectual, developmental or physical disabilities, or challenges with mental health such as autism, cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury, severe mental illness, and more, each individual we serve is provided the coordinated supports they need. We enable people with disabilities to live full and more independent lives. 

PLAN|NJ envisions that all individuals with disabilities and/or mental health challenges have the following opportunities:

  • A safe and appropriate place to call home
  • Financial stability and security
  • Suitable and appropriate education
  • A challenging and rewarding place of employment
  • A fulfilling network of support
  • Participation as a contributing member of the community 
  • The ability to have choices and personal control
  • An end to loneliness and isolation
  • Advocacy to protect them from abuse and neglect
