Independent living

Housing for older adults who do not need a license-level care package built into the rent.

This picture is a general scene, not one of the listings below.

New Jersey does not license independent living. It is not in the Department of Health long-term care file, so this directory does not list independent living communities. A wing inside a continuing care retirement community is still independent living even when the campus also has a licensed nursing home.

There is no public license list to import. Confirm what is operating with the community, and ask the Department of Community Affairs if the campus is a registered continuing care retirement community.
