Southern Ocean Center in Manahawkin, NJ provides long-term nursing-home care supported by skilled clinical staff around the clock. Short-term respite stays are accepted, and an on-site physical therapy team works with residents on recovery, mobility, and strength maintenance without requiring off-site travel. Care plans are individualized and regularly reviewed by nursing and rehabilitation professionals.

Safety measures back up the medical services. Every resident space is linked to an emergency call system that alerts staff immediately, giving the team the ability to respond quickly to urgent needs at any hour.

Resident rooms are available in a range of layouts that may include central air conditioning, cable television, wireless internet access, in-unit washer and dryer, phone service, and housekeeping. Select units are pet-friendly, and many open to outdoor areas or overlook the landscaped garden and courtyard. Because floor plans vary, not all accommodations include every feature listed.

Three daily meals are prepared and served in the community dining room, with staff able to modify textures or diets as ordered by clinicians. Hospice services are available on-site, allowing residents who need end-of-life care to remain in familiar surroundings while still receiving appropriate support.

The community maintains an activity center, organizes clubs and small interest groups, and offers a library and computer lounge with internet access for email, research, or video calls. Health and wellness programs are scheduled throughout the week to encourage regular exercise, cognition support, and preventive care education.
