READ MOREThe 10 Best Nursing Homes in Newark, NJ for 2024
The benefits of residing in New Jersey’s most populous city and within the New York metropolitan area are many for Newark’s seniors, who comprise 10.8% of the city’s 311,549 residents. Seniors may be pleased to know that the region’s medical facilities cater to all conditions and budgets. For example, Newark Community Health Center is a well-regarded facility that never denies patients in need, while nearby Manhattan is home to some of the country’s finest hospitals.
Nursing homes provide near-hospital levels of care for seniors recovering from surgery or in need of long-term medical support. A typical facility delivers 24/7 care via registered and licensed nurses, therapists and physicians. Facilities tend to be homey, which can have psychological benefits for patients. According to the 2021 Genworth Cost of Care Survey, Newark’s nursing home median fee is $12,471 per month for a semiprivate room, which is about 9.8% more than the state’s equivalent figure. As nursing homes aren’t for people who don’t need 24/7 medical care, seniors may want to consider assisted living and home health care.
This guide reviews the costs of nursing home care and alternatives in Newark and New Jersey. It also lists some free senior-friendly resources.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Newark, NJ
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.
- Medicare: Medicare will typically cover all skilled nursing costs for the first 20 days of one’s stay in a nursing home and a portion of the costs until day 100. After 100 days in a skilled nursing facility, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those in need of long-term care will need to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
- Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the costs of living in a skilled nursing facility for those who qualify. Care, room, and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras like specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility standards are strict and complex, so not all seniors are eligible for Medicaid benefits.
- Veterans Benefits: Veterans receiving a VA pension may also be eligible for the Aid and Attendance benefit administered by the VA. Aid and Attendance is a monthly allowance that beneficiaries may use to pay for their long-term care, including 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.
Free Resources for Seniors in Newark, NJ
Newark seniors don’t need to cope with problems on their own as there are several government agencies and nonprofits able to provide assistance for free. This list includes a few of them. They can help families who are unhappy with the quality of their loved one’s nursing home care, provide quality legal support, deliver healthy meals and determine if Medicaid can pay some or all nursing home costs.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Meals on Wheels | (302) 737-5747 | Newark Senior Center's Meals on Wheels program delivers freshly prepared and nutritionally balanced meals to homebound seniors throughout the city on weekdays. Drivers also make wellness checks at the time of delivery. Although meals are free, the center accepts donations to cover some costs. |
| New Jersey Long-Term Care Ombudsman | (877) 582-6995 | The Long-Term Care Ombudsman advocates for seniors residing in nursing homes and their families. Its ombudsmen are volunteers trained to educate seniors about their rights in residential care and investigate their complaints. Ombudsmen attempt to resolve issues through negotiation but occasionally refer cases to relevant authorities when necessary. |
| Essex County Senior Services | (973) 395-8375 | Essex County Senior Services administers many programs developed to assist older residents, including programs for seniors who are in need of nursing home care but have yet to transfer to a facility. The department can also arrange in-home programs for seniors who are at risk of nursing home placement. Additionally, it can refer seniors and families to Medicaid for help with nursing home costs. |
| Essex-Newark Legal Services | (973) 624-4500 | Essex-Newark Legal Services provides free advice and representation to Newark residents aged 60 and older who can't afford an attorney. The service covers civil law cases only, so it can't assist with criminal matters. However, it can support seniors who are dealing with various issues, such as medical decision powers, wills, bankruptcy, debts and guardianship. |
| Newark Veterans Services Regional Office | (973) 297-3230 | U.S. military veterans and their spouses can get help from the Newark Regional VA Office if they aren't receiving the state and federal benefits they're entitled to. The office can also help vets with their applications for VA Aid and Attendance, which can cover some nursing home costs. They can also help vets apply for the Homebound Allowance. |
