Bradley Creek Health Center at Carolina Bay at Autumn Hall sits on a 24-acre campus right inside Wilmington's Autumn Hall area, giving seniors access to many types of care in one place, so folks who live there don't have to go far if they need more help later on, and folks can choose from studio or one-bedroom apartments that come with things like private bathrooms with walk-in showers, refrigerators, TVs, and wifi, which helps make the rooms comfortable and gives people some privacy, and there's always staff around, like registered nurses and personal care assistants, to help with things like medication reminders, mobility, bathing, meals, and even housekeeping and laundry, and they also check backgrounds and do drug tests for their staff, paying attention to resident safety with things like emergency call systems, 24-hour security, and controlled building entry.
It's part of the Liberty Health Care group and focuses on giving care that fits the individual, whether someone needs assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, inpatient or outpatient rehab, or even home care for people still living at home in Wilmington, with services for things like light housekeeping, meals, toileting, and mobility help, and the home care staff can travel to where people live, charging $21-$28 an hour for those non-medical services. In the main community, residents can get help after surgery or illness at the Medicare-certified rehab gym, work with speech, occupational, or physical therapists, and even work out care plans with professionals for things like long-term chronic conditions and recovery.
Memory care lives in a secure part of Bradley Creek and uses programs with music, art, sensory activities, and routines to make things easier for people with dementia, and memory care staff stick to familiar faces and simple schedules to lower stress. Meals are chef-prepared and served restaurant-style, and there's a long list of extras like a beauty salon, spa, massage therapy, a stocked library, fitness programs, a bar, outing trips, gardens and outdoor paths for walking, creative studios, and spiritual programs, which means people can take part in many activities if they want or relax when they'd rather not join in.
Bradley Creek also belongs to the American Caregiver Relief Network and Caregiver Community Forum and offers online tools for folks to figure out if home care's a good choice and then schedule assessments, and there's guidance for both long-term care planning and for understanding all the different options and insurance involved. The facility keeps a focus on advocacy, seniors, people with disabilities, and basic human rights, making sure that everyone is respected.
