What this means for your family

Bermuda Commons has a strong reputation for rehabilitation therapy, which may make it suitable for short-term recovery. However, the recurring reports of slow response times to call bells and inconsistent hygiene standards are serious concerns. We strongly recommend that you visit unannounced and specifically observe how staff respond to residents' needs during non-peak hours.

Key Review Excerpts

The nurses, CNAs, Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, and Speech Therapist gave mom extraordinary care. We spent so much time with her and saw the love and care they provided.

Long-term resident's family · 2024★★★★★

They drop her food off and don’t help her cut her food into small pieces and help her eat, so someone from the family has to try to come by for meals to help her.

Granddaughter of resident · 2023★★★★★

Nasty rooms, floors covered in trash and dirt, clothes left covered in urine... Staff on their cell phones, instead of helping the residents.
