New Jersey § 30:4d-17
Full text of New Jersey New Jersey Statutes § 30:4d-17, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 30:4d-17.
The Legislature finds and declares that: a. A substantial proportion of nursing home residents do not need the level of medical
care provided in skilled nursing or intermediate care facilities, and to the extent
these inappropriate placements occur, there are adverse financial and social consequences; b. After entering a nursing home, many residents become dependent on that facility,
experiencing depletion of their financial resources and erosion of their social contacts
in the community; c. Inappropriate placements of residents in skilled nursing or intermediate care facilities
result in reduced access to available beds for those Medicaid recipients who are actually
in need of nursing home care; d. It is, therefore, in the best interests of the citizens of New Jersey that a nursing
home preadmission screening program, as currently operates in 30 other states, be
established Statewide to determine the needs of Medicaid-eligible and other individuals
seeking admission to a skilled nursing or intermediate care facility, prior to placement
in that facility.
