What CAREGIVERS OF NEW JERSEY, INC does

Caregivers of New Jersey, Inc. (CONJ) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit support coordination agency that operates as a subsidiary program of Family Resource Network (FRN), a public charity headquartered in East Windsor, New Jersey. The organization delivers DDD-approved Support Coordination services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) across 14 New Jersey counties. Funding flows through the New Jersey Division of Developmental Disabilities under the state's Medicaid waiver structure, and revenue mechanics are case-rate, fee-for-service reimbursement rather than a discretionary or commercial sales motion.

The service portfolio extends beyond core case management into caregiver coalition advocacy, community inclusion programming (Out N' About, Camp NOVA, the Annual Autism Beach Bash), and large-scale training — most notably a Seizure Recognition Training program that has reached 194,266 individuals since 2020. CONJ operates alongside two FRN sister divisions, Autism Family Services of NJ and Epilepsy Services of NJ, sharing centralized back-office, governance, and accreditation infrastructure. Third-party delivery partnerships with Surfer's Healing, Paul's Purple Warriors, and the Epilepsy Institute of NJ extend program reach without direct capacity build-out.

The organization has accumulated CARF Gold Seal Accreditation along with the 2025 Candid Platinum Seal and Charity Navigator 4-Star rating, signaling standardized service quality and financial transparency. The technology layer is minimal: service delivery is human-mediated and regulatorily defined, with no disclosed AI, platform, or data product. Customer concentration is structural — NJ DDD is the singular contracting payer — making state-level policy and reimbursement-rate decisions the dominant driver of operating performance.

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• YAI / National Institute for People with Disabilities: Large national IDD services organization with significant NJ presence, providing residential, day, clinical, and case management services. Comparable as a much larger DDD-aligned IDD service provider offering the same coordination and support service categories, but with significantly broader geographic and service-line scale.
• Sevita Health (formerly The MENTOR Network): National provider of home- and community-based services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Comparable as a large, multi-state operator funded through Medicaid waivers serving the same IDD population in a similar coordination/care model.
• BrightSpring Health Services: Large national provider of home- and community-based services for individuals with IDD and other complex needs, including case management and waiver-funded services. Comparable as a scaled, multi-state operator serving the same Medicaid HCBS waiver population that funds CONJ through NJ DDD.
• Easterseals (national): National nonprofit federation providing disability services across the country, including case management, respite, and family support. Comparable as the parent-class entity of one of CONJ's closest direct competitors (Easterseals NJ), representing the broader incumbent operating model.
• Help at Home: Large national home- and community-based services provider with significant IDD and elderly waiver service offerings. Comparable as a scaled waiver-funded service provider operating in adjacent service categories (personal care, respite, HCBS) that compete for the same DDD/Medicaid waiver dollars.

Direct peers

• UCP of Hudson County / United Cerebral Palsy of New Jersey: NJ-based IDD service provider offering residential, day, and case management supports under DDD and other state funding streams. Comparable as a DDD-aligned IDD service competitor operating within the same NJ service area.
• Easterseals New Jersey: NJ chapter of a national disability services nonprofit serving individuals with IDD, autism, and other disabilities across the state. Comparable because both operate as DDD-affiliated providers offering case management, family support, and community programs in overlapping NJ counties.
• The Arc of New Jersey: Major New Jersey-based disability advocacy and service organization providing a range of supports for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including DDD-aligned services. Directly comparable as another NJ DDD-affiliated IDD service provider serving overlapping counties.
• JSDD (Jewish Service for the Developmentally Disabled): NJ-based nonprofit serving individuals with developmental disabilities through residential, vocational, and case management programs. Comparable as a fellow DDD-affiliated provider serving overlapping IDD populations in New Jersey.

Others

• The Arc of the United States: National advocacy and service network for individuals with IDD. Comparable as the national umbrella of one of CONJ's closest direct competitors (The Arc of NJ), and as an adjacent player shaping federal and state IDD policy that directly affects CONJ's NJ DDD funding environment.
