Nursing homes in Bergen County, NJ

Does your parent need a nursing home?

A nursing home gives 24-hour nursing care. It fits when a parent needs a licensed nurse for daily medical care, or has just left the hospital and needs short term rehab.

If the need is help with bathing, dressing, meals and medications, assisted living in Bergen County or home care in Bergen County may be enough. For dementia, compare memory care in Bergen County. Ask the hospital discharge planner or your parent's doctor what level of care is ordered.

How to compare nursing homes

• Find licensed homes on our Bergen County list or the New Jersey Department of Health facility search.
• Check ratings, staffing and inspection results on Medicare Care Compare.
• Visit more than once, at different times of day, and ask who the regular nurses and aides are on your parent's unit.
• Ask for the admission agreement before you sign, and have it reviewed if you are unsure about anything in it.

Get help finding the right home

Call (201) 686-8232 or book a call. We help you work out whether a nursing home is the right level of care, or whether assisted living, memory care or home care would work. For private-pay families, we then shortlist licensed Bergen County options and help you ask each one about openings, current rates and the care your parent needs.

You don't pay. There's no fee. A licensed nursing home, community or home care agency may pay us a referral fee after a successful private-pay move in or start of care. We do not take a fee on Medicaid or Medicare funded care.

If the stay will be paid by Medicaid or Medicare, tell us on the first call. We take no fee on that care, and we will point you to the New Jersey ADRC at 1-877-222-3737.
