Mira Vie at Toms River offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, enabling residents to transition between levels of support without relocating. The community is equipped to manage wandering behaviors during the day and at night, elopement risks, wound care, oxygen therapy, and multiple diabetes protocols, including oral medications, injections, and sliding-scale dosing. Teams are trained to care for residents living with advanced dementia, ensuring consistent oversight and tailored interventions. On-site podiatry visits reduce the need for outside appointments and help maintain mobility and skin integrity.
Direct care is bolstered by an RN or LPN on staff and a nurse available by phone around the clock. Pull-cord and personal emergency response systems link residents to staff at any hour, and an Activity Director coordinates cognitive and social programs throughout the week. Full assistance is available for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and the staff can accommodate a wide range of mobility needs, from standby help with a walker to one-person transfers for bed-bound residents.
Private apartments feature a bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate; however, not every unit includes each feature, so families should verify specifics during a tour. Rooms are designed to allow staff unobstructed access for routine checks and emergency responses while giving residents personal space.
Meals follow a set menu prepared to meet varied nutritional requirements, and snacks are stocked for residents who prefer smaller, more frequent servings or who need extra calories. Staff monitor dietary intake, assist with feeding when necessary, and coordinate with medical providers to adjust meal plans for specialized needs such as diabetic or texture-modified diets.
Residents have access to on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, a movie room, and a wellness center. Internet access, on-site religious services, a stair glide, a general store, and scheduled transportation for medical appointments or errands are also available. Pets are allowed. It's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
