Frequently Asked Questions

The New Jersey Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) provides funding, support, and services to adults with developmental disabilities to help them live as independently, safely, and meaningfully as possible within their communities.
These supports promote independence, personal growth, inclusion, and choice, allowing individuals to lead fulfilling lives at home or in community-based settings.

Faith Health Group is an approved DDD provider offering community-based home care and support services.

We collaborate with DDD to design personalized care plans that promote safety, independence, and quality of life for adults with developmental or intellectual disabilities.

To qualify for DDD services, an individual must:

• Be 21 years or older and a New Jersey resident
• Have a developmental disability that began before age 22
• Have a condition that is likely to continue indefinitely
• Experience significant limitations in areas such as learning, mobility, communication, or self-care
• Be eligible for Medicaid and require assistance to live independently or with family

Families must provide documentation of disability, medical history, and a functional assessment to apply.

The DDD administers the application process, determines eligibility, and connects individuals to approved providers—like Faith Health Group—for personalized, community-based support.

To begin the process:

• Contact the NJ Division of Developmental Disabilities or
• Reach out to Faith Health Group’s DDD Services Team for step-by-step guidance with your application, Medicaid verification, and service coordination.

• The expectation that it will persist throughout life
• Documentation showing substantial limitations in major life activities such as self-care, communication, or learning

Our team can assist you in gathering the necessary information and submitting your application for evaluation.

• The Supports Program

• The Community Care Program (CCP)

Faith Health Group helps families navigate funding options, verify eligibility, and create customized plans that best suit individual needs.
