The mission of Broadway House for Continuing Care is to provide first class health care and rehabilitative services to people living with HIV/AIDS.
About Us
We are New Jersey’s only specialized, long term care facility for the care and treatment of people living with HIV and AIDS. As an affiliate of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, Broadway House opened in 1995 as an alternative level of post acute care for those infected by the AIDS virus. Our facility was created under certificate of need regulations that mandated the provision of comprehensive medical, substance abuse, and psychiatric care for medically fragile individuals. Our reputation speaks for itself. We have earned numerous state and national awards for the comprehensive care we provide, achieved a 5 star rating from the CMS Nursing Home Compare System, and recognized as one of the 26 best nursing homes in the country by US News and World Report. New Jersey is ranked as the 5th highest State in the nation with over 35,000 people who are living with HIV/AIDS. Almost 20,000 of these individuals reside within the counties of Essex, Hudson, Passaic, and Union. With the advancement of HIV medications and treatment protocols, many of our residents are now living longer, with over 65% having the capacity to return back into the community to live independently for many years to come. As a result, Broadway House has partnered with HELP USA, a nonprofit housing developer, the City of Newark, the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, and the Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation to construct a 51 unit affordable housing complex that incorporates 15 units of special needs housing, with clinical oversight provided by Broadway House, for those living with AIDS.
As the only facility that provides care and treatment to those living with AIDs, our skilled professionals address all dimensions of well-being. We offer a host of wellness activities; encourage outings and visits from family and friends. We are devoted to preparing our residents medically, therapeutically, psychologically, educationally, and practically for a return to a productive life back in their communities. Broadway House provides excellent care and a high quality of life in a home-like, dignified setting for all of our residents.
