ABOUT BRAEMOOR

Braemoor is a 120 Bed, skilled care facility, that has provided quality healthcare services to the Greater Brockton Community since 1939. It is a private, family owned facility, and one of the first in Brockton to be accredited by the Joint Commission. Braemoor's short term care unit is equipped with immediate cable TV and telephone service. The facility provides easy internet access to all patients and residents, is air conditioned in all common areas, has single and double bed rooms, and is surrounded by three acres of landscaped area.

Our Admitting Office screens each patient individually to ensure admission to Braemoor will best meet his/her health care needs. Most referrals are received through the hospital, but can also be obtained from the emergency room, doctor's office, and the Community. Patients are admitted with a physician's order, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Off hour referrals are relayed immediately to the responsible charge person.

Each patient's treatment is directed through a personalized multi-discipline care plan. The Care Plan is reviewed daily at our Skilled Team Meeting attended by all disciplines to ensure the Plan stays current and progresses with the patient. The Team works closely with the family to include them as much as possible in the planning process, and to help the patient meet his or her optimum level of functioning.

Medical Services are directed by each patient's attending physician. Medical services are supervised by our Medical Director, Associate Medical Director for Sub-Acute Care.

Braemoor specializes in short term rehabilitation with the goal for home discharge as soon as practical. Our Social Services Department plans each discharge separately ensuring services such as home health care, dining, nursing or therapy care as well as any specialized equipment is available if needed. Braemoor provides patient and family teaching to ensure the patient and the care provider can perform home functions as independently as possible.
