Subacute Rehabilitation: Bruceville Terrace

A Fully Accredited Skilled Nursing Facility, 171 Beds

As a distinct part of Methodist Hospital, Bruceville Terrace is a skilled nursing facility providing short- or long-term medical and rehabilitative care, 24 hours a day. Bruceville Terrace is an ideal living place both for residents needing long-term nursing care and those needing just a little more time to recover from a hospital procedure under closer medical supervision before returning home.

Within a comfortable, homelike environment, our residents receive a full range of services from a team of skilled healthcare professionals, all of whom are dedicated to enhancing each person's quality of life.

Serving the southern suburbs of Sacramento since 1989, Bruceville Terrace is located adjacent to the Methodist Hospital campus, developed around a series of beautifully landscaped outdoor courtyards. It is distinguished by a bright and secure environment, with rooms that are cheerful and light. Nursing stations are well equipped and located in close proximity to all residents' rooms.Bruceville Terrace admits approximately 800 patients each year, primarily providing care for the elderly and those requiring extended recoveries, with a specialty in wound care. We are proud of the fact that nearly 60 percent of our residents return home or to a lower level of care. The average length of stay for our short-term patients is 18 days, while our long-term residents stay an average of one year.
