“Adult living facilities 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,” said Singer (R-30). “With increased Medicaid 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.”

Singer’s bill (S-405) would codify and increase the existing Medicaid reimbursement rate for assisted living facilities, comprehensive personal care homes, and assisted living programs.
