Overview of Daughters of Miriam Center

Daughters of Miriam Center (DMC) located in the suburban town of Clifton, New Jersey, is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit facility. Accessible from the Garden State Parkway, DMC is committed to offering a range of services for the aged, infirm, and handicapped individuals. Since 1968, the center has maintained a steadfast commitment to high-quality housing solutions for the elderly. The Esther and Sam Schwartz Building, also known as the Miriam Apartments, constructed with assistance from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), serves those of 62 years and over or those with mobility impairments, regardless of race, color, creed, national origin, sex, or disability.
The center offers independent living with supportive services through the Esther and Sam Schwartz Building also known as the Miriam Apartments. These independent living homes provide tenants the perk of autonomous living within an apartment setting, along with the safety and companionship of community living. A legacy of over half a century in senior care enables Daughters of Miriam Center to offer a life of independence accompanied by dignity.

What families are saying

Quality of care and staff professionalism

Staff attentiveness and engagement are inconsistent. While some reviewers praised the attentiveness and professionalism of the staff, highlighting positive experiences with nurses and CNAs, others criticized the lack of attentiveness, emotional support, and engagement for residents, indicating a disparity in the level of care provided.

Care & staff

Activities, programs, and daily engagement

The facility lacks sufficient activities and emotional support for residents. Several reviews pointed out a need for more activities, engagement, and emotional support for residents, suggesting that the facility could benefit from implementing programs similar to those found in adult day care centers to enhance the quality of life for its residents.
