Bourne Manor Extended Care

Bourne Manor Extended Care sits at 146 MacArthur Blvd in Bourne, MA, pretty close to the Bourne and Sagamore Bridges, so getting to and from Route 6 or Route 28 is simple, and plenty of local physicians or hospitals are nearby if you need them, and the place has been around since 1989, so folks in Bourne, Falmouth, Marion, Wareham, New Bedford, and up and down Cape Cod might recognize the name. It's a skilled nursing facility focused on senior care, with options for independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care including a separate memory care unit for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, and programs for short-term rehab, long-term care, respite care, hospice, and palliative care-the basics and then some, really. Residents get 24-hour care, including support with bathing, dressing, taking medicine, and meals planned by a dietitian, and there are specialized rehab services-physical, occupational, and speech therapy-with programs that help people recover after surgery, stroke, joint problems, hospital stays, or even more complex issues like heart failure, diabetes, Parkinson's, MS, and ALS, and the Steps to Strength program encourages folks to keep up their physical abilities. Nurses and staff are always on hand, with an education program in place for them, and language variety's possible depending on who's working. The clinical team manages pain, wounds, medication, cardiac and respiratory care, dialysis, diabetes, and more, and the pulmonary rehab program is especially set up for COPD, pneumonia, and other serious respiratory problems, and there's help for orthopedic recovery too. The memory care unit provides safety and support for people living with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, and there are policies in place to reduce unnecessary medications and help people avoid falls. Bourne Manor Extended Care is open all day, all week, and offers respite stays when family caregivers need a break or residents need care right after a hospital stay. You'll find private and semi-private rooms, individual climate controls, free Wi-Fi and DIRECTV®, free phone service, and a beauty/barber shop. Visitors can eat meals there for free, and there's a steady calendar of activities like arts and crafts, music therapy, religious services, bingo, pet therapy, and community involvement. Resident councils give people a say about what goes on. The place aims for a warm environment where people feel welcome, encouraging friendship and daily connections. Care plans get tailored for each person with the goal to help them reach their best possible health and keep as much independence as possible, and family and residents get a voice in decision-making, while care transitions are supported so moves between settings go more smoothly. Bourne Manor Extended Care is accredited by the Joint Commission and is part of Berkshire Healthcare, and it takes referrals from the Providence Health Plan networks. Staff keep up with best practices, offering seminars and education on topics like flu prevention and end-of-life care. They update their online facility directory at least every month. At the moment, Bourne Manor Extended Care isn't accepting new patients, but it's known for thorough care and a full range of services for seniors in the area.
