Caring for Those Who Cared for Us
Supporting Maine’s Seniors
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Maine is home to more than 1.3 million people. As of today, nearly 23% of that population is 60 or older and that number is expected to grow to 31% by 2030.
Bangor Nursing & Rehabilitation Center (BNRC) has been trusted by generations of Bangor residents for providing long-term care and rehabilitation services for aging loved ones. In addition to a long-standing relationship with the community, BNRC has also maintained a long and fruitful relationship with St. Joseph Healthcare.
In December 2021, BNRC’s community-led board of directors concluded the formal process of this 60-bed center becoming a full member of the Covenant Health family of organizations. As a result, BNRC now has access to a deeper pool of operational resources, clinical expertise and best practices that have been developed across Covenant Health’s post-acute and assisted living communities as well as its three hospitals. In partnership with St. Joseph Healthcare, this also offers Bangor residents an expanded continuum of care.
“Health care is always changing,” shares Melissa J. Martin, MSW, MLNHA, President/Administrator. “As a member of Covenant Health and with our strong relationship with St. Joseph Healthcare, we’re confident in our ability to provide the greater Bangor community with award-winning post-acute care and services for years to come.”
“The overall care our mother received from the nursing and support staff, as well as their attention to detail, was greatly appreciated,” shared both Ashley Donovan and Briana Durso, the daughters of Catherine Durso, who was a resident for many years. “Our family truly appreciated the consistent communication and updates we received from the care team. Even during the pandemic, we were advised of the protocols put in place to keep our mom safe. We’re very grateful for the quality of care she received at BNRC.”
