Southport Health and Rehabilitation Center Welcomes Residents Home After September Flooding

Southport Health and Rehabilitation Center is thrilled to welcome residents back home after relocating them due to the heavy rains that flooded the community in September. A welcome party of staff and local volunteers greeted residents with signs and balloons as they returned home after nearly five months. There were cheers, warm smiles, lots of hugs and even a few happy tears.

“They made it like a party for us,” shared returning resident, Susan Fogle. “As I recovered from my illness, this became my home. I thank everyone for that kind greeting they gave us. I’m looking at everything and it’s so clean and safe.”

During the last five months, Southport Health and Rehabilitation Center has undergone extensive remediation. Residents are returning to freshly painted walls, updated flooring and new furniture.

“We express our gratitude to our sister Liberty Health and Rehab centers for keeping our residents safe and cared for during this transition,” shared Southport Health and Rehabilitation Center Administrator Danielle Peters. “Our hearts are full as we welcome our residents back to their home!”

Southport Health and Rehabilitation Center is hosting a Ribbon Cutting and Open House on April 29, 2025 at 1:30 p.m. to showcase the recent upgrades to the community.

Southport Health and Rehabilitation Center provides a complete continuum of care, including short-term rehabilitation, skilled nursing, long-term living, assisted living, outpatient therapy, hospice care, palliative care and respite care.
