What to Consider About Assisted Living in Kearny

Kearny is a suburb of Newark, New Jersey, located along the Atlantic coast. The city combines the welcoming comfort of small-town living with convenient access to big cities such as Newark, New York and Boston. A little more than 17 percent of the city's population of 43,600 are seniors aged 60 and older. Hudson County, where Kearny is located, offers 53 different assisted living facilities, providing plenty of options for those who need a little extra help with daily living tasks. New Jersey assisted living facilities are licensed by the New Jersey Department of Health. Regulations stipulate that staff be on hand 24 hours a day.
