The Bay St. George Long Term Care Centre is a 114-bed facility that provides comprehensive and holistic care, while enhancing quality of life, taking into consideration the uniqueness of each individual and the available resources.
The Bay St. George Long Term Care Centre is located in Stephenville Crossing. Stephenville Crossing has a population of approximately 2,500 and is situated in the area of St. George’s Bay on the west coast of Newfoundland.
The Long Term Care Centre is designed with four separate resident care units each of which contains lounge facilities and a well-equipped nursing station. Three of the four units are designed for those individuals experiencing severe mental impairment and/or organic brain disorders, which warrants a secure and protected environment. The three most frequently used exits are equipped with a Wanderguard Alert System which will alert staff when a resident wearing an alert bracelet attempts to leave. This enables wanderers to be maintained on an open unit for a longer period of time.
Service provision includes nursing care, medical clinics held throughout the week and access to a physician after regular office hours. Other services include pharmacy, nutritional and environmental services, accounting, pastoral care, social work, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech language pathology, recreation therapy, volunteers, outreach services, hairdressing, and barbering.
