Personal Assistance Services Program (PASP)

Choice - Flexibility - Control

The PASP supports adults over the age of 18 who have physical disabilities by providing routine, non-medical personal care so they may remain active in their community.

Tasks may include bathing, dressing, eating, grooming, meal preparation, shopping, light housekeeping, driving or using public transportation.

PASP is funded by the NJ Division of Disability Services and administered by Atlantic County for its residents.
