AARP New Jersey applauds Governor Murphy and the NJ Legislature for expanding access to affordable housing to help older New Jersey residents stay in their homes and communities.
AARP supports critical property tax relief for older adults, funding to expand affordable housing options and efforts to increase financial security in retirement.
We applaud Governor Murphy for signing bipartisan legislation that will change Medicaid’s eligibility process, so seniors aren’t forced into nursing homes while waiting for Medicaid approval.
For the first time since AARP began publishing the Scorecard in 2011, more than half of Medicaid long-term care dollars nationwide for older adults and people with physical disabilities went to home- and community-based services instead of nursing homes and other institutions.
