The state faces a rapidly growing level of need: by 2030\, more than 1.85 million residents – over 20% of the population – will be age 65 or older\, most managing multiple chronic conditions at home. Many of these individuals currently lack advance care plans\, goals-of-care conversations\, and awareness of community-based palliative care services that can prevent crises\, emergency visits\, and hospitalizations. The session will describe what palliative care is\, the benefit it provides for patients and families\, and how it differs from hospice – addressing a common source of confusion that limits appropriate use. It will also examine the current state of palliative care in New Jersey\, highlighting gaps in provider capacity and disparities in availability by geography\, language\, and cultural alignment. \nAn overview of the new Medicaid palliative care benefit will be provided\, including eligible members\, covered services\, provider qualifications\, and requirements for enrollment and credentialing. The presentation will illustrate how the benefit is designed to improve access\, standardize expectations\, and promote earlier\, more equitable delivery of palliative care across diverse settings. GOCCNJ’s efforts to prepare providers\, patients\, and families for this transition will also be shared\, including education\, communication tools\, provider training\, and community outreach. The session will highlight both opportunities and implementation challenges\, offering practical insights for leaders and professionals across the aging services continuum – including senior living\, affordable senior housing\, long-term care\, hospice\, home- and community-based services\, and related fields – who are committed to improving access to high-quality palliative care. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDifferentiate palliative care from hospice by identifying key features\, goals\, and care approaches\nEvaluate current gaps in New Jersey’s palliative care capacity\nApply knowledge of the Medicaid community-based palliative care benefit structure to prepare organizations for implementation and improved integration of palliative care across the continuum of aging services\n\nRegistration & Continuing Education Info \nComplimentary! \nThis program has been approved for Continuing Education for 1 total participant hours by NAB/NCERS—Approval # 20270330-1-A119188-DL \nTo receive continuing education credit for LeadingAge New Jersey & Delaware sponsored webinars\, attendees must register under their name\, participate through the link supplied after registering and complete the evaluation after the webinar. \nSpeaker Information: \nLori Feldstein\, CEO & Executive Director\, Goals of Care Coalition of New Jersey \nLori Feldstein is the Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of the Goals of Care Coalition of New Jersey (GOCCNJ).
