Bon Secours - Southampton Skilled Nursing and Assisted Living

Bon Secours - Southampton Skilled Nursing and Assisted Living sits at 100 Fairview Drive in Franklin, Virginia, right on the campus of Southampton Memorial Hospital, which means people living there can always get emergency care quickly and have licensed nurses on hand day and night, and the place is a 219-bed, Joint Commission-accredited community where more than 90 healthcare workers provide all sorts of care, from inpatient and outpatient rehab to surgery, imaging, and long-term nursing. Folks can get round-the-clock skilled nursing with rehabilitation, diabetes management, pain control, wound care, memory care, and even therapies like physical, speech, and occupational, as well as on-site psychological and podiatry consultations, nutritional counseling, pharmacy help, and feeding and respiratory support, so if someone has Alzheimer's or dementia there's a memory care program with special activities and staff available 24 hours. They do respite care for families who need a break, and long-term care for people who can't look after themselves anymore, or who need help after getting out of the hospital, and there are always nurses around, with quick access to urgent care, plus strict COVID-19 protocols and expanded visitation that follows health guidelines. East Pavilion, one area of the facility, takes care of people who need extra medical support, like for diabetes or pain, and Bon Secours has a nurse quality grade of A and high historical ratings-including A+ inspection scores with only one minor deficiency-so the place has been recognized as a top nursing home statewide, with U.S. News Best Nursing Home awards in several years. Besides medical care, they help with daily living-bathing, dressing, medication, meals, and cleaning up-and there are dining rooms, common spaces, exercise and education activities, housekeeping, and maintenance, all focused on safety and comfort, and everything stays affordable and clean by following tight regulations and doing background checks for everyone. The facility works as a non-profit, church-related community, making it different from private facilities, and it adapts to people's changing needs so older folks can live as independently as possible, with personal care that feels like home but with quick support if anything happens, all while giving people in Franklin and the Hampton Roads area some peace of mind that their loved ones are in a place that takes healing, caring, and connection seriously without ever losing sight of safety, especially during tough times like the pandemic.
