Care management in New Jersey
Unicity Care Management started in northern New Jersey in 2010. Today our nurses and social workers serve families in nine counties across the north and center of the state.
In New Jersey, the hard decisions usually start in a hospital.
A loved one is admitted after a fall. A few days later, the hospital is ready to discharge. The family has to decide between home, short-term rehab or assisted living, often in less than a day.
Unicity Care Management care managers know New Jersey's hospitals, rehab centers, home care agencies and senior living communities county by county. We help your family understand the choices in front of you, and we stay involved after the decision is made.
Things New Jersey families should know
Who licenses care
Assisted living residences and nursing homes in New Jersey are licensed by the New Jersey Department of Health. You can ask any community for its most recent inspection results.
Help paying for care
NJ FamilyCare's Managed Long Term Services and Supports (MLTSS) program may help pay for care at home or in assisted living for people who qualify. An elder law attorney can explain eligibility.
County aging offices
Every New Jersey county has an office on aging that offers information and some services for older residents. A care manager can help you connect with yours.
