The Long Term Care Facilities layer contains point locations and limited attributes for long term health care facilities including but not limited to adult day care centers, pediatric day care centers, assisted living facilities, dementia and memory care facilities, rehabilitation centers, hospice branches, long-term acute care hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, subacute care facilities, long-term care facilities, nursing homes, and various other residential and non-residential health care facilities. In addition to state licensure, some of the referenced facilities may qualify for and obtain certification from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid services, which would also make them subject to adherence with federal regulations. The point locations and most of the attributes are derived as periodic output from the NJ Department of Health (NJ DOH) Health Facilities Licensing Database.
