  The New Jersey Department of Military and Veterans Affairs operates three modern long-term care nursing homes located in Paramus, Menlo Park, and Vineland. These homes are inspected and licensed annually by the New Jersey Department of Health and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

  Comprehensive services and a deep concern for the residents go hand-in-hand at New Jersey’s three state-operated veterans’ nursing homes. Around-the-clock medical and nursing care is provided by a full-time staff of physicians, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and certified nursing assistants.

  Rehabilitative services, such as occupational and physical therapies, speech therapy, and recreational activities are provided under the supervision of contracted licensed therapists.

  Resident accommodations are assigned based on level of care required and availability. In spacious dining rooms, residents are provided with wholesome meals prepared under the supervision of licensed dietitians. Tray service is available when necessary and special care is given to individually prescribed diets.

  For the convenience and comfort of the residents, the homes feature fully equipped beauty and barber shops, lounges for socializing and watching television, outdoor patios and recreation areas, picnic grounds, and chapels for religious services for all faiths.

  Recreational activities available include gardening, ceramics and other arts and crafts, cooking, bingo, shopping trips, music, art and pet therapy programs, movies, dinner trips, fishing excursions, billiards, and trips to sporting events.

  Eligibility

  The facilities are open to veterans of all wars who served on active duty and were honorably discharged, the veteran’s spouse, and to spouses and parents of members of the military who were killed in action during a period of war (Gold Star Parent).

  Preference is given to applicants who were state residents for at least two years immediately prior to application for admission. Residents pay according to ability based on income.
