Daughters of Miriam Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation sits on the Beachwood campus, connected to the larger Daughters of Miriam building, and has served the community since 1882, providing long-term care, skilled nursing, and rehabilitation. The center takes care of people needing help with memory loss, offering memory care assisted living in places like the Resorts at Daughters of Miriam and The Willensky Residence, where each person's routine feels steady but leaves room for individual needs. The community includes a secure Alzheimer's and dementia unit, with special dementia training for all staff, memory care apartments, and a multi-sensory room to help comfort and calm residents.
The nursing care is comprehensive and covers everything from medication management, bathing, and dressing, to full medical monitoring, with 24/7 nurse coverage and a helpful team that tries to keep everyone safe, well, and engaged. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy services are available, with strong programs for people recovering from surgery, illness, or injury, along with specialized recovery in subacute and short-term rehab settings, and the Rehab Road program that lets people practice daily life activities before heading home. There's also community hospice and palliative care alongside a care program within Maltz Hospice House, so people can get support and comfort if they're facing serious illness.
Respite care, outpatient therapies, and skilled nursing services are also part of what's offered, and the rooms come in several styles, including private spaces with private bathrooms and showers. Residents find extra comfort with services like housekeeping, laundry, and linen changing, and all the spaces stay clean and well-kept, with little touches like an ice cream parlor, beauty and barber shops, a spacious dining room with a separate private dining space, and wireless internet in social areas. There's a pool and hot tub for aquatic therapy, gardens and courtyards with walking paths and benches, and even a "Central Park" area indoors with a virtual blue sky and park benches. A full-time Life Enrichment Department and wellness center keep people active with massage, music, art, horticulture, pet therapy, and programs that support mind, body, and spirit.
Dining services run from the bistro and formal dining rooms to a kosher program that follows dietary laws, and the kitchen crew puts effort into making meals enjoyable and tasty, with some people saying the food is "bussin." There are programs for Jewish holidays, Sabbath services, and other faiths too, plus outings to restaurants, museums, and shops. There's also daily programming for health and wellness, hobby crafts, cards, spiritual activities, educational events, and intergenerational gatherings, so people can stay connected and fulfilled. Emergency call systems, cable TV, high-speed internet, and interpreter services help with safety and communication, while the accessible outdoor courtyards, seating areas, and walking paths make it easy to get fresh air. Daughters of Miriam Center focuses on professionalism, kindness, and a sense of family, aiming to give every resident dignity, comfort, and a safe community.
