Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Bergen County, NJ

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in New Jersey?

Does New Jersey Medicaid cover nursing home care?

Yes — New Jersey Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.
