Sarah S. Brayton Nursing Center

Within the first week of admission, nursing, social services, dietary and recreation staff each assess the resident, and the clinicians then meet to develop an individualized plan of care. Residents and family members are encouraged to attend that meeting.

Short-term care focuses on physical, speech and occupational therapy to build functional abilities and reduce the risk of re-hospitalization.

Physician services involve primary care physicians, specialists, nurse practitioners and a medical director who oversees residents' healthcare needs.

Social services staff help with arranging support and equipment needed at home, and with insurance questions and enrollment in Medicaid or Medicare.

Rooms have cable and flat-screen TVs and bedside telephones, and air conditioning is provided throughout the building.

The building has two floors.

A registered dietitian oversees menu planning and monitors residents' nutritional intake, and individualized meals are prepared for each resident, with three meals daily.

Special dining events include holiday meals shared with family members, dine-out programs and summertime barbecues.

A full schedule of recreational activities includes musical entertainment and weekly dog-therapy visits.

Amenities include complimentary wireless internet, large dayrooms, newspaper delivery, an on-site beauty salon and on-site laundry service.

Residents can use an outdoor patio, and the center has a rehab gym for therapy.

The center is located at 4901 N Main St in Fall River, Massachusetts.
