Bayview Nursing & Rehabilitation Center

Bayview Nursing & Rehabilitation Center brings skilled nursing and post-acute rehabilitation care to the heart of New Bern, North Carolina — one of the state's most storied and welcoming cities. Located at 3003 Kensington Park Drive, Bayview is managed by Century Care Management, a company with a longstanding dedication to delivering dignified, person-centered care across the Carolinas. New Bern's healthcare infrastructure is a major asset for Bayview residents and their families. CarolinaEast Medical Center, the region's primary acute care hospital, is located just minutes away and provides a seamless care continuum for residents who may require hospitalization and then transition back to skilled nursing for recovery. Beyond healthcare, New Bern is one of eastern North Carolina's most vibrant communities. Situated at the confluence of the Neuse and Trent rivers, the city boasts a charming historic downtown lined with boutiques, galleries, and restaurants along Middle and Pollock Streets. Tryon Palace — the beautifully restored colonial capital of North Carolina — stands as the city's crown jewel and draws visitors year-round, while Union Point Park offers scenic riverfront walks that families can enjoy during visits. New Bern is also famously the birthplace of Pepsi-Cola, and the historic Pepsi Store on Middle Street is a beloved local landmark. For families spread across Craven County and eastern NC, New Bern's location along US-70 and near US-17 makes Bayview accessible from communities like Havelock, Kinston, and Jacksonville. Local dining options — from waterfront seafood restaurants to neighborhood cafés — give families plenty of places to gather when visiting. Century Care Management brings professional oversight and a commitment to continuous quality improvement to Bayview's operations. The nursing staff provides 24-hour skilled care, and rehabilitation therapists work with residents to restore function and maximize independence following illness, surgery, or injury.
