Assisted living in Teaneck, NJ
3 licensed communities, listed alphabetically — New Jersey publishes no bulk inspection record, so nothing here is ranked by one.
We don’t publish this state’s inspection record yet — so nothing below is ranked by it.
Assisted living is licensed by the state, not Medicare, and New Jersey doesn’t release its inspection and complaint records as a bulk file we can ingest. Several states in this position still let you look up one community at a time on their own site — so the record may well exist; we just don’t have it. We will not invent one: no community below is marked clean, because we have nothing to clear it with. To check a specific community, ask the NJ Health Facilities office ↗ for its inspection and complaint history, or call your Long-Term Care Ombudsman ↗ — a free, independent advocate.
What’s actually in Teaneck
These 3 licences are not all the same kind of place:
- 1 Comprehensive personal care
- 1 Assisted living residence
- 1 Assisted living program — an assisted-living program operating inside another licensed setting
They range from 40 to 65 licensed beds (median 65).
1 of the 3 have no bed count in the state’s file, so they are not in that range.
None of the 3 carries a memory-care designation in the state’s record — and this state does publish that designation, so that is a real answer, not a gap. If dementia is part of the picture, look at the neighbouring towns below.
What it costs around here
Median private-pay cost, CareScout (Genworth) 2025 Cost of Care Survey — a regional midpoint, not any single community’s rate. Private rooms and higher care levels cost more; ask for a current quote. Project your own in the cost-of-care planner.
† Memory care is our estimate, not survey data: CareScout does not survey memory care, so we take the assisted-living median for the state and add $1,200/month — the typical secured-dementia-unit premium. It is a planning figure with no state-level detail behind it, and real memory-care pricing varies far more than that. Treat it as a starting point and ask the community for its own memory-care rate.
Estimated cost range · regional
In New Jersey, assisted living typically runs about $6,950–$10,450/month.
This is a regional estimate modeled from published survey data (the CareScout/Genworth state median, ±20%) — not this community’s actual price, which it sets privately. Ask the community for its current all-in monthly rate and what each care level adds.
Paying with Medicaid
New Jersey Medicaid helps pay for assisted living only in limited circumstances — through a waiver, and not everywhere in the state or for everyone who qualifies.
The New Jersey waiver that can pay for it:
- Managed Long-Term Services & Supports (MLTSS) — covers in-home / assisted living / adult family care / nursing home (managed care, not 1915(c))
In New Jersey: apply or check eligibility ↗ or call 800-701-0710.
A waiver pays for care, not for rent. Even where the state covers assisted-living services, room and board is still the resident’s to pay. Full eligibility limits — income, assets, the look-back — are on our New Jersey Medicaid page.
Nearby towns in this state
Assisted living is a local decision, but the right community is often one town over — and a 20-minute difference in drive time decides how often anyone actually visits, which is the single thing that most affects how a resident does.
