Launching or growing a care agency in New Jersey takes real coordination across the Department of Health, the Department of Human Services, and the Division of Consumer Affairs. Carepolicy makes it simpler with New Jersey provider policies, procedures & collections, and hands-on licensing guidance tailored to home health, hospice, assisted living, adult day, behavioral health, DDD community residences, and more. Our state-ready policy kits map to New Jersey administrative code chapters, align with survey checklists, and help you pass inspections the first time. Need Medicaid enrollment or MLTSS onboarding support too? We package the required forms, checklists, and training outlines so you can focus on care, not paperwork. Recent updates like ABA licensure and enhanced NJ FamilyCarebehavioral health benefits make compliance even more important. We keep you current and moving forward. 

New Jersey Licensing Overview

New Jersey uses multiple regulators. The Department of Health licenses core facility types such as home health agencies, hospices, ambulatory care facilities, assisted living, long-term care, and adult day health services under N.J.A.C. The DOH rules portal is your master index for these chapters. 

Nonmedical home care agencies that place or employ aides register as health care service firms with the Division of Consumer Affairs, meet accreditation and background screening standards, and comply with new financial reporting rules. Behavioral health and substance use treatment programs are licensed under Title 10 by the Office of Licensing and DMHAS. Adult day facilities require criminal background clearance for owners and administrators. For Medicaid, new or revalidating providers may owe the federal screening application fee, which New Jersey lists at 730 dollars for calendar year 2025. Book New Jersey care provider licensing consultations if you want us to quarterback these steps that need to end.

New Jersey State Specific FAQs

Q1) Do I need a certificate of need for home health or assisted living?

Yes, home health agencies require a certificate of need prior to licensure under 8:42-2.1. Assisted living projects are governed by 8:36 and the CON process in 8:33. We supply CON narrative templates, utilization tables, and community need exhibits to shorten review cycles. 

Q2) What is required to open a nonmedical home care agency?

In New Jersey, employers or placement agencies for aides must register as health care services firms with the Division of Consumer Affairs, maintain accreditation, meet background screening rules, and comply with new financial reporting. Our HCSF packet includes accreditation prep and required policies. 

Q3) How are adult day health services facilities licensed? 

Adult day health services are licensed by DOH under 8:43F. Owners and administrators complete criminal background clearances, and facilities must meet plans of care, nursing, pharmaceutical, infection control, transportation, and QI standards. Note that social adult day programs are not licensed. Our kit maps each subchapter with ready-to-use forms.

I am working with a team therefore it took a little time to get the documents together. Also, my laptop went down on me so I was not uploading to the Google document drive correctly. Anton, who has been helping me has been great with making it work even though I was not equipped to put everything in place like I should’ve been, and I am greatly appreciative of that

"Though I initially felt some hesitation about the product after reading the online table of contents, my concerns were completely addressed after a call with Anton at the home office. He provided excellent reassurance that the final product would be exactly as stated and that I would be able to customize it with my business's information. Anton also assured me that ongoing support would be available to answer any questions and guide me through the process. Upon receiving and reviewing the handbook, it perfectly matched the description. I would not only purchase from this company again but also highly recommend them."
