How families pay for skilled nursing 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.
