These facilities, officially classified as assisted living facilities throughout the state, cater specifically to the needs of seniors with dementia, which affects an estimated 180,000 seniors across New Jersey. The New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services provides provisions for the operation of assisted living facilities throughout the state.
