Who We Serve
The NJACC works to educate and support elders, family members, caregivers and healthcare leaders on Culture Change in a long-term care
setting.

Our Mission
To transform the traditional culture of long-term care practices to one that promotes individualized care and services supporting dignity and choice for each person.

We Stand in Solidarity With Those Protesting Social Injustice
All of us at the NJ Alliance for Culture Change feel deep anger and sadness in the wake of the murders of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and so many other senseless deaths.
