Full text of New Jersey New Jersey Statutes § 26:2h-12, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 26:2h-12.
The Legislature finds and declares that: a. Many children in the State with limited life expectancies or complex, life-limiting
illnesses receive care at pediatric medical day care facilities, but the families
of these children remain responsible for the overall care of their children and become
overwhelmed because they lack the built-in breaks typically available to most families; b. Inadequate support services exist to provide respite for families responsible 24
hours per day for children with limited life expectancies or complex, life-limiting
illnesses; c. Community-based, comprehensive, family-centered pediatric respite care facilities
established in other states have been shown to enhance the quality of life for children
with limited life expectancies or complex, life-limiting illnesses and for their families
by providing curative care when possible, pediatric palliative care, respite care,
hospice care, and bereavement services, and by addressing their psychological, and
spiritual needs; and d. Similar pediatric respite care facilities should be authorized to operate in this
State, and in order to ensure that children and their families receive the best possible
support, it is appropriate that these facilities be licensed by the Department of
Health.
