Terms of use
Please read these terms before you send a request. They explain what this site does, what it does not do, and how the $100 offer works.
What this site is
Aging in Place NJ helps New Jersey households plan grab bar, bathroom, lift, ramp and doorway changes, and introduces them to a local contractor for the job. We take requests from homeowners and from family members and care managers acting for them.
What we are not
We are not a contractor, a dealer, a lender, a funder or a medical provider. We do not carry out, supply, install, supervise or warrant the work. We do not decide whether a program will pay for it. We do not give medical, clinical, legal or tax advice, and nothing here replaces the advice of your doctor, therapist or other professional.
The contractors
Each contractor we introduce runs a separate business of its own, and does not work for us. Your agreement for the work is with the contractor, and so are your questions about materials, schedule and workmanship. Before you pay a deposit, ask for the contractor's home improvement registration number and look it up on the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs license verification site. Plumbers and electricians hold separate licenses.
Nothing here is a quotation
Any figure on this site, or mentioned in conversation before a contractor has seen the house, is a general indication and not an offer. The price that counts is the one the contractor gives you in writing. We do not promise an installation date, which depends on the house, the product and any permit or approval.
Your three-day right to cancel
New Jersey law requires a home improvement contract for more than $500 to be in writing and signed. You may cancel a home improvement contract for any reason. The right lasts until midnight on the third business day following your receipt of a copy, and no reason is needed. The notice must be written and sent to the contractor by return-receipt mail or delivered in person, and any money you paid must be refunded within 30 days. Nothing in these terms, or in anything a contractor asks you to sign, removes that right. Our cancellation guide explains it in more detail.
Permits and approvals
Whether a job needs a permit, an approval or a homeowners association's consent depends on the job and the house. Our pages offer general information to help you plan. They are not a ruling. Your town's construction official decides what applies, and the contractor is responsible for obtaining what the work needs.
Paying for the work
Pages here describe programs that may help some people pay, including VA benefits, NJ Medicaid, Jersey Assistance for Community Caregiving and the federal medical expense deduction. Each program decides its own eligibility. Nothing here says you qualify, and nothing is tax advice.
The $100 offer
Your first project comes with $100 off. The terms are these.
- The $100 is a credit given by Aging in Place NJ. It is not paid by the contractor and it does not change the price the contractor quotes and invoices.
- There is one credit per household, applied to the first project you book through this site.
- It applies once the project is booked on the contractor's written quote, and not to a quote on its own.
- To claim it, mention it when you book. A request sent through this site is recorded against the offer, and we check the credit with you ahead of the booking.
- The project must be booked on or before December 31, 2026.
Our guarantee
- Asking is free. It never commits you to anything.
- We charge you no fee for planning or the introduction.
- You pay only the contractor you choose, at their written price.
- Your $100 credit is honored on your first booked project.
- Not happy with an introduction? Say so, and we will find you another at no charge.
Small print: This guarantee covers our planning and introduction service. The contractor's work is covered by your contract with them. See the offer terms above.
The information on these pages
Statements about rules, programs and local figures come from public sources and carry the date they were checked. Rules change, so before you rely on a statement, open the source and read it yourself.
Our responsibility
Our part is the introduction itself and the care of your details, as the privacy policy describes. The standard and timing of the work, the permits and the inspections are the contractor's responsibility under your contract with them. Within what the law permits, our liability for this site stops at what we received for your request.
Using the site
Send requests only for a property you or the person you act for has a connection to, with real contact details, and not to promote another business. A request may be declined by us and not passed to anyone.
Governing law and changes
These terms are governed by New Jersey law, and the courts of New Jersey have jurisdiction. These terms can be updated, and the current text on this page replaces the old one.
