Liberty Commons Nursing & Rehab Center Of Southpor

Southport Health and Rehabilitation Center, located in Southport, North Carolina, provides skilled nursing care, rehabilitation, assisted living, hospice care, palliative care, and respite care. Conveniently situated in the heart of Southport next to Dosher Memorial Hospital, the center offers a complete continuum of care designed to help patients regain skills and decrease the chance of hospital readmission.

The facility's rehabilitation program focuses on recovery following accidents, surgery, strokes, or cardiac events. A clinical team develops person-centered care plans with input from highly trained in-house physical, speech, and occupational therapists. Physical therapy centers on strengthening mobility, balance, coordination, and joint movement while managing pain. Occupational therapy helps residents manage daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, grooming, and eating, as well as resume hobbies and interests. Speech therapy improves communication skills, cognitive function, and swallowing abilities.

Enhanced therapy services include diathermy for pain relief, electrical stimulation to improve joint movement and muscle strength, and vital stimulation to promote better swallowing. The well-equipped therapy gym features an Activities of Daily Living Suite to help residents practice skills during occupational therapy sessions.

For skilled nursing care, the facility provides round-the-clock services through registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants. Services include wound care management with a dedicated wound care physician, cardiopulmonary therapy, fall interventions, incontinence management, IV therapy, full-time physician coverage, psychosocial support, and podiatry services.

The center also offers assisted living services for those needing extra help with daily activities. Staff provide personalized assistance with dressing, bathing, housekeeping, laundry, and medication reminders while encouraging residents to maintain an independent and fulfilling lifestyle. Professional care is available round-the-clock for residents and their families.
