Southpoint Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center

I was transported from Duke University Hospital to the Brian Center Southpoint for rehabilitation 300A Hallway Room 301. I was very impressed with my three week experience at the Brian Center Southpoint. This was the best decision I could have every made. All of the staff that I had contact with from the administration staff, medical staff first, second and third shifts, Pt/Ot staff, environmental services and maintenance staff has been nothing but kind and courteous and very helpful along with excellent service. The atmosphere was very pleasant and friendly and the surroundings are beautiful. Patient rooms are more like hotel rooms. The food was well planned and well prepared. Thank you so much for having me as your patient.

Brian Center did a fantastic job with rehabilitating my sister. She had a stroke and couldn’t speak or move the left side of her body. She was in the hospital for 5 days, then at Brian Center for 4 months. (A doctor told me he can’t recommend skilled nursing facilities, but said, “I sent my mother-in-law to Brian Center, and I like her!”) The physical, occupational, and speech therapists are truly outstanding (in particular, Courtney, Kaylee, Tom, Donna, Al, Matt). When she was in the hospital I was able to understand 1-3 words all day and now she speaks slowly but clearly. Her left leg is much stronger. She can safely stand and pivot and sit down and she can walk short distances with assistance. Her left arm and hand are becoming usable. UNC Hospital recommended a physiatrist, who injected Botox into her left leg and arm and that is miraculously making her muscles more flexible and making it easier for therapists to help her get stronger and more flexible. Some of the aides were abrupt but others were incredibly kind and caring (Jasmine, Lachonda, Mr. T, Sarah, Anita).
The food isn’t very good, but she went to Brian Center for rehab – to re-learn how to speak and use her left leg, arm and hand. When she got there I truly didn’t know whether she would ever be able to do that again, and the therapists at Brian Center made that possible. I can’t recommend them more highly.
