Ocean County is home to more than 160,000 older adults according to the 2008
census estimates; there are 25,000 individuals 85 and over that live here.
The Office of Senior Services is the focal point
that older adults and their families can turn to for information regarding

population with the assistance they need to live independently and with
dignity.
