HCANJ Foundation
The Health Care Association of New Jersey Foundation, Inc. (HCANJF) is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to improving the quality of life and quality of care available to residents and caregivers in New Jersey’s long-term care communities. The Foundation pursues this mission through research, education, and the development of practical implementation strategies aimed at health care professionals and paraprofessional staff, as well as the support network of family and friends that provide medical and emotional support to residents of our long-term care centers.
The Foundation provides, among other things, education regarding public health issues, natural disasters, and active shooter situations through its Emergency Management program. Other educational and instructional programs include those programs for recruitment and retention of staff, employee and resident safety, leadership and management training, the implementation of quality improvement, measurement and management systems, center design, and other health-related topics geared toward improving and maintaining the highest quality of care.
Additionally, as part of its mission to improve the quality of care for long-term care residents through education, the Foundation provides discretionary grants to Health Care Association of New Jersey member centers for staff members who are continuing their education in the long-term care field. The application period for these grants is March 1 through April 30.
