Welcome to the 20th 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 Agencies 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 our 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 local events and activities and post their own events and activities. The community calendars will be interactive 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 community calendars are only a smidgen of the new information 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 continued 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,
Additional copies of this Directory are available FREE at most of the gathering places for seniors, many of which are featured in the Seniors BLUE BOOK.

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.
