Independent Living in New Jersey

Overview of Independent Living in New Jersey

New Jersey Independent Living Regulations

Each state regulates senior living communities differently. Because independent living is often provided by assisted living communities, states may regulate independent living within their guidelines for assisted living. You can use APFM’s guide to assisted living regulations to learn more about access to facility records in New Jersey.

In New Jersey, independent living communities — also known simply as retirement communities — are geared towards seniors who are able to live on their own, without daily assistance, and prefer to live among people their age. This usually means residents are self-sufficient and do not require hands-on care. Think of independent living communities as age-restricted (typically 55+) complexes, which provide organized activities, meal services, and transportation.

The value for cost gets a 4 Only because these places are just so expensive in general in regards to number eight. Everybody was warm and friendly, and the overall vibe of the place was warm and cozy
