Our Community Focus

Nestled in the quaint, historic town of South Boston, Virginia, just north of the Dan River in south central Virginia, Berry Hill Health & Rehab Center has served the local community for over sixty years. Just one mile from Sentara Halifax Regional Hospital, our facility has new leadership and is supported by a team of caring individuals that provide residents with a home away from home that is kind, healing, safe, and enjoyable.

Our residents and their families have peace of mind knowing that we are available to help with all daily tasks such as personal hygiene, medication needs, cooking, cleaning, and transportation as well as a large array of skilled nursing and medical support services.

We believe each resident is unique, bringing their own life experience, likes/dislikes, and personalized needs. Whether your loved one is in recovery for a short-term stay, or transitioning to long term care, we focus on their well-being, safety, and security, while providing a community in a warm and familiar environment.

State of the Art Safety

Safety is a Top Priority

We have multiple prevention methods for the spread of COVID-19 and other viruses. These include routine electrostatic cleaning, needlepoint bipolar ionization (cold plasma), HEPA air scrubbers, and MERV 13 air filter installation. Cold plasma has been shown to kill multiple bacteria, viruses and mold spores, and recent studies have demonstrated a significant reduction of COVID-19 virus when installed.

Partnering With Industry Experts

We developed and implemented industry-leading protocols to help prevent the spread of disease. We partnered with university and community-based epidemiology clinical experts, the North Carolina Statewide Program for Infection Control and Epidemiology (SPICE), while following state and CDC guidance.

Some of Our Additional Safety Measures Include:

N

Following all guidance and requirements for state and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS) to ensure optimal patient, family and staff safety

N

Residents are monitored and screened regularly

N

Teammates and guests wear masks throughout their shifts/visits when required 

Engagement

Daily Activities

When residents have an engaging social life, they’re able to live more comfortably and productively. Activities give structure which provides them certainty in knowing what’s coming up next; time goes by faster and increases a sense of purpose. There’s also something comforting about having people around who care enough to make your days a little more interesting.
