Overview of The Bluefields

Facebook

Set on Lincoln Road in Leland, in Brunswick County, North Carolina, The Bluefields combines assisted living with a secured memory care unit built for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. The 78-bed community runs 24-hour staffing throughout, and the surrounding area is car-dependent, carrying a Walk Score of 9, which means that getting to appointments, shops, or nearby Wilmington will almost certainly involve driving or taking a transportation service.

Occupancy sits at 50 of 78 beds, or 64 percent, which is relatively high. Inside, residents are served meals with restaurant-style dining, and can use a library, along with an outdoor common area, and the community runs its own transportation service for outings and appointments.

Regulatory reviews here have specifically touched on infection prevention and control issues, discrepancies with staffing and staff credentials, and lapses in resident rights and protections, which are concerns but also categories that show up across inspections of senior care communities broadly, not unique concerns particular to this address.

Medicaid is accepted at The Bluefields; Medicare is not. Between the secured memory care wing and continuous staffing coverage, this is a community structured around residents who need close supervision for cognitive impairment, paired with the daily support of assisted living.
