Daughters Of Miriam Center in Clifton, New Jersey operates as a skilled nursing facility, providing 24-hour licensed nursing oversight, on-site physician coverage, and regular visits from a range of specialists such as physical, occupational, and speech therapists. The clinical team manages complex medical conditions, postoperative recovery, medication administration, wound care, intravenous therapy, and other skilled services. Emergency response systems, on-site laboratory and diagnostic partnerships, and coordinated hospital transfers are in place to ensure continuity of medical care without unnecessary delays.
Beyond direct medical treatment, the center delivers comprehensive personal support that includes help with bathing, dressing, mobility, and incontinence management. Short-term rehabilitation, long-term custodial care, respite stays, social services, and hospice coordination are available, allowing residents to move between levels of support as their needs change. Care plans are updated regularly through interdisciplinary team meetings that involve nursing staff, therapists, dietitians, and social workers, as well as the resident and family when appropriate.
Residents live in a mix of private and shared rooms, some with en-suite bathrooms, individual climate controls, and cable hookups. Each room is equipped with an emergency call system, while select rooms add features such as wheelchair-accessible showers or extra closet space; not every accommodation includes every feature. Housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance are handled by staff, and families may personalize spaces with approved furnishings to maintain a familiar environment.
Dining services provide three meals daily prepared under the guidance of a registered dietitian, with therapeutic diets, kosher options, and textured modifications available. Meals are generally served in a communal dining room to encourage social interaction, though tray service to the resident’s room can be arranged for those who are ill or prefer privacy. Snacks and hydration stations are accessible throughout the day, and staff monitor nutritional intake for residents with special dietary concerns.
An on-site activity center offers structured and self-directed programs such as exercise classes, arts and crafts, music appreciation, and discussion groups, supporting social engagement and cognitive stimulation.
