Bayview Nursing & Rehabilitation Center
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Bayview Nursing & Rehabilitation Center has received an impressive Trust Grade of A, which means it is highly recommended and stands out for quality care. It ranks #8 out of 417 facilities in North Carolina, placing it in the top half overall, and is ranked #1 out of 5 facilities in Craven County, indicating it is the best local option. The facility is improving, having reduced its issues from 2 in 2022 to none in 2024. Staffing is rated as average with a 3/5 star rating and a turnover rate of 36%, which is better than the state average of 49%. However, it is concerning that there is less RN coverage than 94% of North Carolina facilities, meaning residents may not have enough registered nurse oversight. Some specific incidents include a staff member standing while feeding a resident, which did not provide a dignified experience, and the failure to ensure a physician visit every 60 days for a resident with serious health issues, which could affect their ongoing care. Overall, while the facility shows strong performance in certain areas, families should consider both the strengths and weaknesses when making a decision.
