Your Guide to
Public
Transportation
Page 1
Introduction
New Jersey, and West Orange in particular, enjoys the
benefits of an excellent public transportation system.
West Orange On The Go! has developed Your Guide
to Public Transportation to help West Orange’s senior
citizens understand available transportation resources.
Public transportation is a safe and economical way to
visit family and friends and to travel to stores,
restaurants, doctors’ offices and many other
destinations. Riding the bus and train can be much
easier than fighting traffic and searching for a parking
space. Public transportation helps us maintain our
independence. We can make our own travel decisions
without having to rely on other people.
For people who drive there are many services available
to help us do so safely and comfortably. Cars have
changed and so have traffic rules, driving conditions,
and the roads we travel every day. Some common
age- related changes can affect driving as well.
We wish to thank the Township and local organizations
who helped develop this Guide. Organizations include
Jewish Federation of Greater MetroWest NJ, JCC
MetroWest & the Jewish Community Housing
Corporation. Major funding for West Orange On The
Go! was provided by a grant from the Jewish
Community Foundation of Greater MetroWest NJ.

Local Bus Service in West Orange
Two local NJ TRANSIT bus routes travel through
West Orange. Transfers can be made to other
bus lines on Main St. in West Orange and Orange
and at the Livingston Mall. They operate seven
days a week, but schedules are different on
weekends.
The #73 travels from Livingston Mall through
Livingston, West Orange, Orange, East Orange
and into Newark Penn Station.
The #71 travels from West Caldwell through
Caldwell, Essex Fells, Roseland, Livingston,
West Orange, Orange, East Orange and into
Newark Penn Station.
NJ TRANSIT buses are accessible: they “kneel” to
lower the height of the first step and have lifts for
any riders who cannot use steps. Passengers must
ask the driver to kneel the bus or use the lift.
NJ TRANSIT “mybus”
The mybus service tells customers when the next
buses are scheduled to arrive at local bus stops.
To Use “mybus”
Call (973) 275-5555 and follow the prompt to dial
the mybus stop ID #. Mybus will then tell you when
the next bus is scheduled to arrive at your stop.
Bus Map on pages 9/10 shows local bus stops.

NJ TRANSIT Reduced Fare Program
Individuals age 62 and over as well as people with
disabilities can save at least 50% on NJ TRANSIT
by using the Reduced Fare Program.
To receive the reduced fare there are two options:
Show the bus operator or train conductor an ID
that is proof of your age (driver’s license or
Medicare card) and ask for “the reduced fare.”
You may also apply for a Reduced Fare ID
Card by calling NJ TRANSIT at (973) 491-7112.
What are “Fare Zones”?
Your bus fare is determined by zones, which are
the distances that you travel. Zones are shown on
the bus schedules with a special line and notation
so you know your fare in advance. You may also
call (973) 275-5555 to confirm bus fares and other
travel information. The bus operator will tell you
how much your fare is when boarding.

Access Link
NJ TRANSIT operates Access Link for customers with
disabilities who cannot use the regular NJ TRANSIT
bus. Some seniors may be eligible for Access Link.
Access Link operates on the same days and hours as
the regular NJ TRANSIT bus and “shadows” the local
bus routes.
Access Link has special
features:
Small buses and cars
provide “curb-to-curb”
service.
Appointments for trips must
be made by the rider or other designee at least 24
hours in advance.
Access Link can be used for any type of trip -
medical, social, shopping, etc.
Please request if you want to ride with a
companion who will pay regular fare or a Personal
Care Attendant (PCA) who can ride for free.
The Access Link Assessment Process
Potential riders must have an in-person
transportation assessment interview.
To arrange an assessment interview at local office,
call (800) 955-2321.
A certification specialist will explain the
assessment process over the phone.
Bring an advocate (family, friend or professional)
to the interview to help you describe your situation.
If you need transportation to the interview, Access
Link will pick you up for a round-trip fare of $4.00.
Page 6
Plan your trip in advance using a trip planner at
njtransit.com or googlemaps.com/transit or
speak to a live operator at customer service.
Keep copies of the schedules for the lines you
use. You can order schedules or plan your trip
with NJ TRANSIT Customer Service by calling
(973) 275-5555. You can look at schedules
online at njtransit.com, coachusa.com.
Bring exact fare and extra change with you.
Also bring any medications you may need
during a trip, your ID Card, the address of your
destination, and emergency phone numbers.
Always get to the bus stop early. It is better to
be 15 minutes early than 15 seconds late!
Sit near the bus operator, if possible, so you
can easily communicate, see the road ahead
and hear any announcements.
Keep aisles clear of bags and packages.
Tell a friend or family member where you are
going and when you plan to return.
Never plan to take the last bus home.

Dear Valued Readers,
Welcome to the 36th edition of the Seniors Blue
Book. With each passing edition the Seniors Blue
Book continues to grow in size, accessibility, and
information. I want to offer you my heart felt thanks
for continuing to turn to and trust the Seniors Blue
Book as your primary go to source for anything and
everything that is related to seniors, caregivers and
their well being.
It is our mission to provide you with all possible
options and opportunities that are available in an easy
to read format. The guide is broken down into three
main sections; Community Resources and Services,
Home Health Care & Non-Medical Home Care Agen-
cies and Senior Housing. We include definitions of
these services and indicate which companies offer these
in the appropriate Home Health and Housing Grids.
We continue to offer the Solutions for Seniors
resource help line at 973-560-0064 for those
that need help navigating the information within
our publication and website and to offer FREE
assistance to those that wish to ask for our
information assistance.
SeniorsBlueBook.com is our dynamic website that
will not only offer all of the information listed in the
Seniors Blue Book, but empower the viewer to find lo-
cal events and activities and post their own events and
activities. The community calendars will be interac-
tive and I am expecting avid participation from both
seniors and their providers. SeniorsBlueBook.com will
also be offering senior professionals their own senior
calendar for networking opportunities, promotion of
their own events and job opportunities. The commu-
nity calendars are only a smidgen of the new informa-
tion that will be available on SeniorsBlueBook.com.
Please log on and check it out for yourself. I promise
that you will bookmark SeniorsBlueBook.com and
come back again and again. Thank you for your con-
tinued support and give me a call or an e-mail if you
have any suggestions or comments that will further
enhance the Seniors Blue Book.
Sincerely,
LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER

ADULT DAY SERVICES
Adult day programs are for elders who need a place to stay during daytime
hours because they have difficulty functioning alone (i.e. dementia or physical
limitations). The programs offer purpose and stimulation. Most facilities place
participants into groups with specific limitations. For more information call
our Seniors Resource Line at 973-560-0064.

EMERGENCY RESPONSE SYSTEMS
A Personal Emergency Response System (PERS) is an electronic device
designed to let you summon help in an emergency. A PERS has three
components: a small radio transmitter (a help button carried or worn by the
user); a console connected to the user’s telephone; and an emergency response
center that monitors calls. When emergency help (medical, fire, or police) is
needed, the PERS user presses the transmitter’s help button. It sends a radio
signal to the console. The console automatically dials an emergency response
center where the caller is identified. The center will try to determine the nature

of the emergency. If the center cannot contact you or determine whether an
emergency exists, it will alert emergency service providers to go to your home.

HOSPICES
Hospices provide individuals facing terminal illness with clinical and psycho/
social care at home or in a healthcare facility. The mission of hospice is to assist
patients and allow them to live the last stage of their lives with dignity; and
to supplement routine clinical care with expertise in pain control, symptom
management, grief and loss counseling, as well as support services. Most
hospices accept Medicare/Medicaid, insurance and private pay. For more
information call our Seniors Resource Line at 973-560-0064.

Save up to $102 on your Part B premium—one way
Humana may give back to you
A Medicare Advantage plan that may increase your benefits
and the money in your pocket
The HumanaChoice H5216-342 (PPO) Medicare Advantage plan includes a Part
B giveback. That means it may reduce your monthly Medicare Part B premium.
This could be either through a credit to your Social Security check or by reducing
the monthly amount you pay directly to Medicare, depending on how you pay
your premium.
Besides potentially saving you money with the giveback, the plan may help you
reach your health goals, with benefits you might not get with Original Medicare,
such as:
• Part B premium reduction, for $102 more in Social Security each month
• $0 monthly plan premium
• Advanced imaging, X-rays and lab work

Medicare 2024 “In A Nutshell”
(Parts A, B & Medigap Plans)
Original Medicare is a government health insurance program primarily for
people age 65 and older. It has four main parts: A, B, C & D. The chart below
is an example of how Parts A & B work together with a traditional
Medicare supplement also known as a “Medigap Plan.”
Medicare
Part A
Hospital Insurance
Generally no cost
(If you paid Medicare taxes
while working)
$1,632 deductible
(per benefit period)
It is possible to pay the
$1632 deductible and other
daily charges for multiple
stays & extended care.
Plan covers: Inpatient
hospital care, home health
care services, hospice, in-
patient skilled nursing & more.
Providers are paid
by Medicare assignment.
No coverage outside USA.
No out-of-pocket maximum.
Many people add a Medigap
plan, Part D or an Advan-
tage Plan (Part C) to fill the
“gaps” in the coverage.
Medicare
Part B
Medical Insurance
Most people pay
monthly $174.90
(Premium could be higher
based on income)
$240 annual deductible.
(this can increase each year)
80/20 after deductible.
Plan covers: health care
providers, ambulance,
emergency care, outpatient
surgical, wellness &
other Medicare approved
benefits
Most doctors accept
Medicare.
No coverage outside the USA.
No out-of-pocket maximum.
Many people add a Medigap
plan, Part D or an Advan-
tage Plan (Part C) to fill the
“gaps” in the coverage.
Supplemental Policy
Plans A - N
Medigap
Premium varies by company,
age, location & other factors.
Guarantee Issue at
initial enrollment
(Other special enrollment
periods may be avalable)
These plans generally pay
the 20% not covered
by Part B & other
Medicare eligible benefits
When this coordinates with
Medicare, many benefits are
100% covered
Can provide benefits
outside USA
Plans are available through
insurance companies.
Important to add Part D plan
to cover prescription drugs &
avoid penalties.
Must have Part A & B to enroll.
There is NO additional cost to use the services of a full time insurance professional.
Please call us or a broker in your local area for additional assistance.
This article was written by Craig N. Anderson, President of
Anderson Benefits, Inc. located in Salt Lake City, Utah.
To contact call: 801-363-9575 or craig@andersonbenefits.com
A & B are designed for people over age 65 and
those with certain disabilities

Medicare 2024 “In A Nutshell”
Med Advantage (Part C) with RX (Part D)
Medicare Advantage plans are governed by Medicare. They are only offered through
insurance companies that have an annual contract with Medicare. They are NOT the
same as Medigap policies. They must cover all Medicare approved services.
Most Advantage plans include Part D prescription drug coverage.
Advantage Plans
Part C
INSTEAD of a Medigap Plan (A-N)
Premium varies by company and coverage.
(Same premium for all ages).
Part B premium $174.70 is still paid
(Premium can be higher
depending on income)
There are many plan types available:
PPO, HMO, HSA, etc.
Plans have co-pays and / or coinsurance
for covered benefits & services.
Preventive care is covered 100%.
Plans have an annual
out-of pocket maximum.
Plans may have additional services and
discounts, including dental, vision,
gym membership & more.
There is an Annual Election Period (AEP)
which runs from October 15–December
7 of each year. This is the time to make
changes in company or coverage.
Must have Part A & B to enroll.
Medicare
Part D
Drug Program
Premium varies by company and coverage.
(Same premium for all ages).
Plans are generally a variation of the following:
Deductible (Phase I)
$0–$545 deductible
Initial Coverage (Phase II)
co-pay coverage until the total
cost of the drugs = $5,030
Coverage Gap / Doughnut Hole (Phase III)
The member now pays much more for covered drugs
25% generic / 25% brand. There is a drug
manufacture discount on certain drugs that can
count toward the “True out-of-pocket” (TrOOP).
You remain here until the $8,000 (TrOOP) has
been met. It’s estimated you will pay about
$3,300 of the $8,000.
Catastrophic Coverage (Phase IV)
$0 for covered drugs on the plan’s formulary
for the rest of the calandar year
Approved formulary insulins are no more
than $35 per month.
Part D can be separate with Medigap & PFFS plans.
There is a penalty for late enrollment into Part D.
Annual Election Period is Oct 15–Dec 7 each year
Must have Part A or B to enroll.

This information is the opinion of the author and intended as an easy to read summary.
This is not a contract. Additional limitations and exclusions may apply to services.
In the event of any inconsistencies with Medicare or with a published medical insurers certificate,
the certificate / Medicare will control. Prepared 10/2023

of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (the "Act") (42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq.), which
prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability by public entities in all services, programs, and

administrative proceeding commenced pursuant to this Act. The contractor shall indemnify,
protect, and save harmless the owner, its agents, servants, and employees from and against any
and all suits, claims, losses, demands, or damages, of whatever kind or nature arising out of or
claimed to arise out of the alleged violation. The contractor shall, at its own expense, appear,

The owner shall, as soon as practicable after a claim has been made against it, give written notice
thereof to the contractor along with full and complete particulars of the claim, If any action or

demand, complaint, notice, summons, pleading, or other process received by the owner or its

with the Act and to defend, indemnify, protect, and save harmless the owner pursuant to this
paragraph.
It is further agreed and understood that the owner assumes no obligation to indemnify or save
harmless the contractor, its agents, servants, employees and subcontractors for any claim which
may arise out of their performance of this Agreement. Furthermore, the contractor expressly
understands and agrees that the provisions of this indemnification clause shall in no way limit the
