MESSAGE FROM MAYOR JANICE S. MIRONOV 
 
 
 
 
Dear Friends, 
 
Our senior citizens are a valued and treasured part of our community, and 
their happiness, health and well-being are an important goal for all of us in 
public service.  We hope that this Directory is helpful and can assist in an-
swering many of the questions and needs of our senior citizens. 
This Directory was compiled by the Township Commission on Aging to 
provide an information guide for a better understanding and access to ser-
vices and facilities in our area which are available for senior citizens.  It is 
not intended to be all-inclusive, but to offer a listing of many of the avail-
able resources in this area for housing, medical insurance, home care, nu-
trition, transportation, education, recreation and employment opportunities. 
East Windsor Township hopes that this Directory is a beneficial and posi-
tive addition to senior citizens and their families. 
 
Sincerely, 
 
 
 
MAYOR JANICE S. MIRONOV

This program is authorized under Title V of the Federal Older Americans 
Act and administered by the U.S. Department of Labor.  In New Jersey, 
this is called Workforce 55+.  The main objective of the SCSEP is to 
bring together the talents of older workers and the unmet needs of com-
munities by: 
 
Providing income and gainful part-time subsidized work activities 
 
for low income older persons; 
 
Demonstrating how low income older workers can help respond to 
 
the delivery of their community’s service needs by working in  
 
community service jobs. 
 
Transitioning job-ready older persons into quality jobs in private, 
 
public and non-profit sectors through training and job-finding 
 
assistance. 
 
For information on this program, contact the National Council on 
 
Aging (NCOA) at (609) 984-8247.  Local office is located at 26 
 
Yard Street, Trenton, NJ 08625.

sector employers.
