New Jersey runs three Veterans Memorial Homes providing long-term care to veterans and their eligible family members: Paramus, a 336-bed facility at 1 Veterans Drive, Paramus; Menlo Park, a 312-bed facility at 132 Evergreen Road, Edison; and Vineland, a 300-bed facility at 524 North West Boulevard, Vineland. They provide around-the-clock medical and nursing care from full-time physicians, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and trained nursing assistants, plus occupational, physical and speech therapy and recreational activities supervised by licensed therapists. Applicants who have been New Jersey residents for at least two years before applying are given preference, but residency is not a condition of eligibility.
