The New Jersey Department of Health (DOH) announced the launch of a new long-term care webpage, providing a user-friendly portal to identify the reopening status of facilities in the state, information on current outbreaks, frequently asked questions, and resources for residents, families, and staff. This new resource is among many recommendations implemented as part of the nursing home review conducted by Manatt Health. The new interactive Phased Reopening map allows users to view detailed information on individual facilities and link to summaries of their inspections, making it easier for consumers to view critical information about the performance of each facility on key health and safety metrics. The map will be updated weekly.
Indoor visitation is now open in facilities in 10 counties that have met the Department’s requirements. Those counties are Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, Hunterdon, Mercer, Salem and Somerset counties.
