My mother was admitted to the Dover, New Jersey facility in January. My sincerest appreciation and gratitude goes out to their staff on the third floor. Prior to Regency Grande Post-Acute Rehabilitation and Nursing Center, I have had experience with two other nursing homes and one rehabilitation facility. The standards and policies of the Regency Grande facility exceeds anything I have experience before. As my mother approached her final days, I had an opportunity to spend a great deal of time with her, and what I witnessed was group of dedicated, compassionate individuals. Not only were the needs of my mother met, but my comfort and needs were also taken into consideration. I will never forget their kindness; it is second to none.

My first impression of Morris View was very good. The place was clean, it was bright, and they were extremely helpful, and very knowledgeable. They gave us a nice tour, explained everything to us, and I'm working with them to transfer my husband from the assisted living to the nursing home. The staff is great and very helpful. I haven't tried anything, but I know they have dietitians on board. We went later in the day so I wasn't able to observe much of everything as much as activities go. They had day rooms with TVs, a library area, and games.

My mother moved into Merry Heart Assisted Living. It's excellent, she stayed there in the nursing home for rehab, and that's the reason we're back there for assisted living. I'm very happy with how they take care of her. The staff is exceptional, they're always calling me with any problems, or questions, and they're very, very attentive. They do exercise classes as a group, which is very good. Right now they're feeding them in their rooms. The food is very good compared to what she had in another place.

We toured the Regency Grande Post-Acute Rehab and Nursing Center. That was beautiful, but my mother wasn't accepted there. It was wonderful, it was very good, the care was clean, and it smelled clean. I did not recall smelling or seeing anything dirty. I was favorably impressed. I wanted my mother to go there. It was very light, it was bright, clean, and it seemed adequate. The staff was very nice, very good, knowledgeable, and accommodating. I suggested they add an hvac air handling system evaluation. Everywhere I go I look up to see if the vents are clean and maintained.

We're very pleased with Sunrise of Madison. Everything is very efficient. They are very attentive, and it's a lot more pleasant than where my mother-in-law was. We just use the code and we go in any time we want to visit her. The staff has been quite helpful, informative, and accessible anytime I have a question.

I like that Brighton Gardens of Florham Park has an activity program designed for people with memory issues. The staff was very friendly and professional. The place was clean and well maintained. The rooms were too small for two people, but their activities were very nice.

We visited Brookdale Florham Park. It was fine but it was a little large for my mother. Other than that, the people were very friendly. They showed us everything. It was just too expensive for her. The apartments were adequate. They had bingo, trivia games, art lessons, and sing-a-long. They help you book doctor's appointments and follow-up appointments. The staff who toured us was very nice and informative. The place looked fine. Cleanliness was fine.
Map of Morris County, New Jersey
Assisted Living Costs in Morris County
Data from the 2018 Genworth Cost of Care study shows that monthly rates for senior care in Morris County fall almost midrange on the New Jersey price spectrum and are about $100 below the state median. Inland areas of the state, including Trenton ($7,230) and Vineland ($6,855), have substantially higher costs for assisted living, while prices are significantly lower in the coastal communities of Atlantic City ($5,100) and Ocean City ($4,800). Monthly assisted living rates in all the surveyed areas of New Jersey are much more expensive than the $4,000 national average.
Note: Specific data for Morris County senior care costs wasn’t available, so data for the metropolitan New York area was used instead.

Care Cost Comparison
As it is in most areas of the country, rates for senior care in Morris County span a wide range. At $12,091 per month, nursing home care is by far the most expensive option. It’s more than double the monthly rate for assisted living ($5,916) and over six times the cost of adult day health services, which is the most affordable type of care at $1,950 per month. This tremendous price difference reflects the level of care, the number of hours of service provided and whether care is received in a residential setting. Assisted living is about $1,200 per month more expensive than in-home care, but it’s provided in a residential setting, and the rates typically include room and board. In-home care costs include services only, so a significant portion of those savings are going to be eaten up by day-to-day household operating expenses.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Morris County
Medicaid in New Jersey
The nationwide Medicaid program provides essential health care services to over 72 million low-income Americans. Funding for the program comes from the federal government and individual states, and each state oversees its own Medicaid plan in accordance with federal regulations.
In New Jersey, the Department of Human Services administers the state Medicaid plan, which primarily provides coverage to parents and their dependent children, pregnant women and those who are blind, disabled and elderly. Eligible residents who are enrolled in the program receive a number of services including:
- Primary and specialist care
- Inpatient and outpatient hospital care
- Preventive care, such as immunizations
- Diagnostic testing
- Prescription medications
- Long-term care
To enroll in the New Jersey Medicaid program, applicants must be U.S. citizens or qualified aliens and meet the financial requirements for the type of coverage they need:
- For regular Medicaid, individuals must have a monthly income below $1,041 and $4,000 or less in countable assets. Couples must have less than $1,409 in monthly income and no more than $6,000 in countable assets.
- For aged, blind and disabled long-term care coverage, single applicants must earn less than $2,313 per month and have $2,000 or less in assets. Married couples can have up to $4,626 in monthly income and $3,000 in assets.
Income from every source counts toward the Medicaid limit, but some assets are exempt. These include a primary home valued at $878,000 or less, personal belongings, household effects, one car and irrevocable burial trusts.
Morris County seniors can apply for the NJ FamilyCare Aged, Blind, Disabled program online or call (800) 356-1561 for assistance.
FamilyCare Managed Long-Term Services and Supports
The FamilyCare MLTSS program provides eligible seniors with complete medical and long-term care services through state-approved managed care organizations. Disabled adults over age 21 and seniors aged 65 or older who qualify for coverage can receive a variety of benefits including:
- Full Medicaid medical coverage
- Case management
- Personal emergency response system
- Respite care
- Assisted living services
- Nursing home care
- Addiction and mental health services
- Community residential services
Morris County seniors currently enrolled in Medicaid can contact their MCO to request an assessment for the MLTSS program. Those not yet enrolled in Medicaid can contact the Morris County Office on Aging Services at (800) 564-4656 to start the assessment and application process.
Other Financial Assistance Programs for Assisted Living
State Supplemental Payment
Morris County residents eligible for or receiving federal Supplemental Security Income payments may qualify to have an extra cash benefit from the state of New Jersey added to their monthly check. Applicants need to meet these SSI eligibility guidelines to qualify:
- Be aged 65 or older, blind or permanently disabled
- Have $771 or less in monthly income and $2,000 or less in assets if single
- Have $1,157 or less in monthly income and $3,000 or less in assets if married
The amount a person receives is determined by their marital status, living arrangement and income, but the combined monthly SSI and State Supplemental Payment benefit can be as high as $981.05 for a single person and $1,895.36 for a married couple.
Morris County residents can contact the Social Security Administration at (800) 772-1213 to apply for SSI and SSP benefits.
Congregate Housing Services Program
The New Jersey Congregate Housing Services program helps qualified seniors and disabled adults avoid premature nursing home placement by funding shelter and support services in a group housing facility. To qualify for the CHSP program, Morris County residents must be over age 65 or deemed disabled by the Social Security Administration and need help to continue living independently. There are no financial limits to qualify for the program, but an income-based sliding scale is used to determine the amount of funding provided, so seniors may need to pay a portion of their monthly housing costs.
Services are only available in congregate housing facilities that have contracted with the state. Once enrolled in the program and living in an approved building, seniors may receive:
- Help completing activities of daily living
- Personal care assistance
- Prepared meals and at least one group meal each day
- Shopping assistance
- Housekeeping and laundry services
Seniors can contact the New Jersey Aging and Disability Resource Connection at (877) 222-3737 to learn about congregate homes in Morris County or apply for CHSP benefits.

The Morris Area Paratransit System provides curb-to-curb rides for county residents aged 60 and older and those with disabilities. Priority is given to rides for medical care, especially radiation, chemotherapy and dialysis appointments. Residents can also get rides to school, work and adult day care.
