Bermuda Commons Nursing & Rehabilitation Center sits in a quiet country spot near Winston-Salem, in Advance, North Carolina, and you can get there easily from I-40, which makes it pretty convenient for families and visitors. The place has 117 certified skilled nursing beds and sometimes you'll see around 102 residents living there each day, though there's also a mention of 127 beds if you include both skilled nursing and some assisted living spots, which can be a bit confusing, but it covers a range between those numbers. They offer short-term rehab, long-term care, skilled nursing, outpatient therapy, respite care, palliative care, and hospice care, so folks can get different types of help without having to move somewhere else if their needs change.
Liberty Senior Living is affiliated with this center, and Long Term Care Management Services LLC has managed things since 2007, with Joseph V Calcutt leading from 2011 and Paul Babinski and Susan Hollett also involved in management. Around-the-clock nursing care is provided by registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants, with full-time physician coverage and easy access to specialists like wound care doctors, physiatrists, and geriatric psychiatrists. The clinical team works directly with doctors to make personal care plans that fit each resident's health needs and goals. They try to focus on recovery and preventing unnecessary trips back to the hospital.
Residents get daily nursing care with a nurse hours per resident each day average of about 3.44, though the nurse turnover rate's about 43.3%, so some staff might be new at times. The place provides incontinence management, wound care, IV therapy, medication reminders, geriatric psychiatry, and podiatry services, and they have a focused fall intervention program to help keep folks safer. They have dedicated options for people needing help after surgery, stroke, accident, or heart event, with access to therapy meant to help regain strength and skills.
Therapy includes physical therapy for walking, balance, joint movement, and pain, occupational therapy for daily tasks like bathing or eating, and speech therapy for communication, memory, and swallowing. They use some advanced tools like diathermy, electrical stimulation, and vital stimulation to help with pain or swallowing, and the therapy team builds daily goals tailored for each person. The therapy gym has equipment for rehabilitation, plus an Activities of Daily Living Suite to practice daily living skills.
Accommodations include private and semi-private suites, private bathrooms, in-room dining, flat-screen TVs with cable, and complimentary Wi-Fi, and you get daily housekeeping and laundry service. Meals are provided three times a day, and there's a salon, quiet lounges with plenty of sunlight, and gathering spaces inside and out. The center also organizes social activities, life enrichment programs, and lets new patients come in any day of the week if beds are open.
Bermuda Commons has had a few infection-related inspection deficiencies, including some related to COVID-19 vaccination education and record-keeping, and also food procurement and handling. The company is for-profit and runs as a limited liability company.
