Senior Living in New Jersey

New Jersey has 336 licensed listings in the official file we use, split across assisted living (273), memory care (31), and personal care homes (32).

We sit with you first, then you pick the home. We shortlist licensed communities from the official state lists. We are a family resource, not a hospital and not a brokerage.

The levels of care, in order

Home support keeps someone in their own home. A personal care home is a smaller licensed setting. Assisted living adds daily hands-on help. Memory care is a secured setting for dementia. We only list the private-pay licensed types on this site.

Most families start one level lower than they expect to end. Choosing by license type first makes the tour conversation much shorter.

If dementia is part of the picture, start with memory care in NJ. If you would rather not sort the list alone, see how our placement service works.

What we will not tell you

We do not rank communities, publish a best of list, show live availability, or quote a monthly price for a specific address. That keeps the official parts of this site trustworthy.

Every New Jersey name we show comes from the NJ Department of Health licensed facility file, so you can check the license yourself.

What does your parent need help with? Check all that apply.
We never pass your details to a community or partner without asking you first and naming who receives them. We only contact you the way you choose. You don't pay. There's no fee.

How we handle your information

Communities may pay a referral fee if you move in. You do not pay us for the shortlist. We do not take a referral fee on Medicaid, Medicare, or other public-program funded placements.

Some links and listings may be paid. We may earn a fee. You still choose.

This site is not medical or financial advice. Confirm coverage with the plan or the state Medicaid office. Facility fees are set by the community.
