How this list works

Which nursing homes in New Jersey accept Medicaid?

331 of 348 are certified for Medicaid, according to CMS. The rest take Medicare only (usually short-term rehab after a hospital stay) or private payment.

Does Medicaid pay for a nursing home?

Medicaid pays for long-term nursing home care for people who meet their state's income and asset limits. Medicare pays only for short skilled-nursing stays after a qualifying hospital stay. Your state's Medicaid office decides eligibility.

Is this a recommendation?

No. It is a ranking of CMS's published ratings. Ratings can change every month, and a home's rating may not reflect a recent change in ownership or staff. Visit, ask questions and read the inspection reports.
