Post-acute programs offer patients a short-term rehabilitation and nursing option following the fragile phase of an illness or injury. In this level of care, patients receive additional medical monitoring and rehabilitation before returning to their prior living setting. When an individual requires short term rehabilitation, Southport Health and Rehabilitation Center helps them to find the strength to overcome setbacks following injury, illness or accident. At admission, the clinical team starts with the mindset that all patients want to return to their prior living setting following rehab. The facility staff works with patients and their family to build a foundation of skills that supports a safe discharge.
