Medicaid nursing homes in New Jersey
331 of New Jersey's 348 nursing homes are certified to accept NJ FamilyCare — and 331 accept both Medicare and Medicaid, which matters if a rehabilitation stay may turn into a long one.
Why dual certification matters
A stay often begins as Medicare-funded rehabilitation after a hospital admission and becomes long-term care when recovery stalls. If the home takes Medicare but not Medicaid, that transition means a move — at exactly the point when moving is hardest on the resident. Homes certified for both let the payer change without the address changing.
Questions to ask before admission
- Do you accept NJ FamilyCare, and do you limit how many Medicaid residents you take?
- If my relative spends down and moves onto Medicaid, can they stay in the same room?
- Do you require a period of private pay before accepting Medicaid? (Ask this in writing.)
- Who at the home helps families with the Medicaid application?
