“This increase in funding will help providers better assist, protect, and support the elderly throughout our state,” said Singer (R-30). “Adult day health services are crucial to the physical and emotional well-being of New Jersey seniors. Bolstering these services is a win-win for both patients and their families.”

Under Singer’s bill, S-3144, the Fiscal Year 2023 supplemental appropriation provides $3.6 million to the Department of Human Services to increase the adult medical day care Medicaid per diem rate by four percent from $86.10 to $89.54.

The per diem rate was increased from $78.50 to $82 in FY 21, and from $82 to the current rate in FY 22. Prior to these increases, the rate was static at $78.50 since FY 12.

“With increased support, these facilities will be in a better position to offer more services and specialized care, including nursing, nutrition, medication management, and both physical and behavioral therapy,” added Singer.
