Jersey Assistance for Community Care
JACC participants work with a care manager to develop a plan of care (POC) to best meet your needs. The care manager works with the participant to ensure that services are delivered as planned. Based on the results of a clinical assessment, the participant and their care manager collaboratively develop the POC. All JACC participants receive care management services. By providing a uniquely tailored support package for the individual, JACC delays or prevents nursing home placement.
