What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in New Jersey?

New Jersey Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, but most states (including New Jersey) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.
