READ MOREAcross the Hudson River from Manhattan, Jersey City is the largest city in Hudson County and the third most dense city in the United States. Seniors account for about 11.1% of the population here according to the 2020 census. While this is below average for the United States, the city promotes a high quality of life for Jersey City’s elderly population.
Seniors in Jersey City who need a high level of medical attention and supervision have many options for nursing homes. According to Genworth Financial’s Cost of Care Survey for 2020, the average cost for a semiprivate room in a Jersey City nursing home is $11,771 per month. When this level of care isn’t required, seniors can find less expensive care in assisted living communities or at home with help from home care service providers.
This guide compares the cost of nursing homes in Jersey City with nearby municipalities and with other types of senior care in the area. Families with limited financial means may want to contact the free resources available in the area.

Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.
If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
Seniors and families in Jersey City can use these resources to improve the experience of living in a nursing home. These resources can also benefit seniors who may be at risk for nursing home placement but currently live at home.
