Assisted living in New Jersey
The Department of Health publishes every licensed long-term care facility as a spreadsheet; we keep its four assisted living license types. 330 homes are listed as licensed, 0 of them small homes. State source (opens in a new tab)
Prices: Assisted living prices aren't published by states; ask each home for a written fee schedule.

How New Jersey publishes inspections
The Department of Health posts each facility's routine inspection dates and Statements of Deficiencies on its own site, one facility at a time, so we link to it rather than copy it. State inspection information (opens in a new tab)
What assisted living is
A place to live with meals, help with bathing, dressing and medicines, and someone on hand day and night. It isn’t a nursing home: there’s no round-the-clock nursing. Find nursing homes →
Small homes
Many states license small homes, often a house with 2 to 6 residents, under their own names (adult family home, family care home). We list them with the larger ones and label each as a small home with its bed count.
The state’s safety record
Where a state publishes its inspection findings, we show them in the state’s own words and scale, with the period and source. We don’t score, rank or sort homes by them.
By county
Counted by the home’s address. Each link opens the homes near a ZIP code in that county.
