Use the state facility search
New Jersey's long-term-care facility search includes assisted-living residences and allows filtering by funding source, including Medicaid, Medicare and private payments. That makes it a better starting point than unsourced commercial directories.
Then confirm directly
After identifying a possible residence, confirm its current participation, whether it is accepting new residents under the relevant arrangement, and whether the person's MCO can coordinate services there.
Do not confuse Medicaid participation with full bill coverage
Participation does not automatically mean every component of a resident's assisted-living bill is paid. Ask what services are covered, what remains the resident's responsibility and how room-and-board charges are handled.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I search New Jersey facilities by Medicaid funding?
Yes. The state long-term-care facility search includes a Medicaid funding-source filter.
Does a Medicaid filter guarantee current availability?
No. It does not guarantee a bed, admission or suitability for a specific person.
Should I call the facility?
Yes. Verify current participation and the specific financial arrangement directly.
Should I also contact the MCO?
Yes. The member's managed-care organization is part of coordinating MLTSS services.
