Owen Health Care is an approved provider with The Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) to provide support coordination services throughout the State of New Jersey. Owen Health Care is committed to enriching the lives of individuals through support and collaboration to ensure that support coordination services are delivered efficiently based on the individual’s needs.
Support coordination is one of the service models that provide services by identifying, advocating, developing, accessing, and coordinating supports on behalf of individuals that assist them in gaining access to needed programs and DDD services. Such programs can include needed medical, social, educational, and other types of good and/or services. We believe that support coordination also involves assisting individuals and/or their family’s access necessary supports on their own. All we do is assist and coordinate those efforts for and with them.
