Caregiver Portal

Welcome to the Forward Journey Caregiver Portal.

The purpose of this page is to provide a one-stop-shop for information and resources related to our program. Check out our calendar to see when we’re closed for holidays or in-service days and if we have upcoming events or fundraisers.

If you have an urgent need, please call our main number at 302-731-0301. The prompts on our voice system will ask if you wish to speak to someone at New Castle County or Kent County. If you know the extension, dial it at any time. There are additional prompts on the system for emergencies and for senior staff.

Winter Weather Procedures

Forward Journey is set up with SnoWatch on the radio (WDEL 1150 AM, WDEL 101.7 FM, and WSTW 93.7 FM) and online (WDEL and WSTW). You can sign up for text alerts by going to these two links. On the station’s website, SnoWatch will show what schools and businesses are closed or delayed due to the weather. If you do not see Forward Journey/C.E.R.T.S. as being closed by 7:00 a.m. that means the program will be open for the day. Because the weather between counties can vary, there may be a day where one Forward Journey location is closed for the day and the other is not. Please be sure to listen/read carefully.
