State and Assisted Living Main Links:

• Department of Health | Health Facilities

Links to Assisted Living Facility Licensure and/or Compliance:

• Search for Long-Term Care Facilities to check on licensure.
• Use an ombudsman or OPRA (the New Jersey Open Public Records Act) to get more information if necessary. OPRA links usually show up if the relevant record is not available.

Standards for Transparency, Licensing and Certification:

Pretty good but a bit Uneven. Most of the data on inspections and violations is readily available. Click on “More info” next to inspections and complaints and then on ID numbers.

Every once in a while, you may come across an instruction to use OPRA to get the relevant record.

Frequency of Inspections: Every 12 months
