When searching for an assisted living facility in New Jersey, you’ll come across many different types of facilities including for-profit and non-profit organizations. Understanding the differences between these organizations and what they mean for your care is an important factor in making this decision. Here’s some advice from the team at United Methodist Communities.
The biggest difference between for-profit and non-profit assisted living facilities
While for-profit assisted living communities are run as businesses, many non-profit organizations are generally run by faith-based groups as a part of their calling to serve the needs of their community. However, both types of organizations have to run according to their business models to ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet their service and care requirements as well as strict state and healthcare licensing regulations to ensure delivery of the best quality services.
