Nurses Improving Care for Healthsystem Elder (NICHE)
NICHE Care for Older Adults
Clara Maass is proud to carry the NICHE Designation in recognition of our commitment to patient-centered care for older adult patients. NICHE hospitals recognize the specific/unique needs of older adult patients and that patient- and family-centered care is imperative to creating a positive experience for elders.
Wellness Assessment Van for Elders (WAVE) Program
WAVE is the first program in our region that brings no-cost, Medicare-funded
wellness visits to seniors in their own communities.
WAVE is a community health service provided by health care experts at Clara Maass Medical Center who are passionate about the health and well-being of our community members ages 65 and older. WAVE is made possible by generous support from The Healthcare Foundation of New Jersey, a longtime partner of the Clara Maass Medical Center Foundation.
