Around 9.7 percent of the population are seniors and there are over 20 assisted living facilities (ALFs) to accommodate them in the Jersey city area, with one facility within city limits. The New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services is responsible for licensing ALFs in Jersey City and elsewhere in the state and defines them as either assisted living residences (ALRs), comprehensive personal care homes (CPCHs) and assisted living programs (ALPs).
