How families pay for assisted living in New Jersey
Most families in New Jersey pay for assisted living, memory care and independent living out of pocket, at least at first. That usually means monthly income combined with savings, and often the proceeds from selling a home, since independent living and assisted living are considered housing and personal care rather than medical care. Some families also draw on a long-term care insurance policy if one was purchased years earlier, which can offset part of the monthly cost depending on the policy's terms. Veterans and surviving spouses who meet the eligibility rules may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance, a benefit that helps cover the cost of care on top of a basic VA pension.

About these figures
Computed on October 23, 2026 from the 5 communities listed in Somerset, 95 public family reviews on Google, Yelp and MyLivingChoice, state licensing records and, for nursing homes, CMS Care Compare. The best-rated list ranks communities by average family rating weighted by how many families have reviewed each one, so a 4.9 from three reviews does not outrank a 4.7 from two hundred. No community pays to appear in the best-rated list or in these figures; sponsored and partner listings in the directory results are marked as such. Figures refresh as listings and reviews change; the written summary was last revised September 25, 2026.
