United Methodist Communities at the Shores offers nursing home, assisted living, independent living, memory care, skilled nursing, hospice and palliative care, and respite care in Ocean City, NJ. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, while assisted living adds help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication management. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for a resident at risk of wandering, and skilled nursing offers licensed nursing care on site around the clock.
Hospice and palliative care focus on comfort and symptom relief for people with serious illness. Respite care is a short stay for a family caregiver who needs time to travel or recover. The range of care levels may suit a resident whose needs grow over time, while respite care can suit a family caregiver who needs temporary support.
The community has 255 beds, making it a larger setting with more residents, staff, and programming. Total nurse staffing is 4h 19m per resident/day, representing the daily hands-on nursing time allocated to each resident. Medicare can cover short-term skilled care after a hospital stay, Medicaid can help when savings may not cover a long stay, and private pay uses personal funds.
A fitness center gives residents a place to exercise on site, while the beauty salon supports on-site grooming. Rehabilitation services give residents access to therapy within the community’s care offerings, and dining rooms serve balanced dishes made with fresh ingredients. The community is administered by Mr. James Zauner and operated by United Methodist Homes Of Nj.
