Southpoint Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center in Durham, North Carolina, sits right next to Southpoint Mall and Interstate 40, so folks can get to it pretty easily, and it's part of Yad Healthcare. This place has room for up to 140 residents in skilled nursing beds, with 68 private rooms that look more like hotel rooms than the usual kind, and they've got cable TV and phones in the rooms too, which some folks like when they're staying for a spell. The staff provides 24-hour nursing care including skilled nursing, long-term care, sub-acute care, and rehabilitation, and you'll find physical therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy happening right there. They help people after joint replacements, cardiac problems, strokes, orthopedic injuries, multiple fractures, head or spinal injuries, Parkinson's, respiratory challenges, and arthritis. There are inpatient and outpatient programs and they've got specialized programs like functional testing, functional restoration, and vestibular balance therapy, which help people get back to doing things on their own.
The therapy team works in-house, and many people say the staff's caring and experienced, making for a comfortable, nurturing spot to recover. They partner with big hospitals like DUKE and UNC and they're a member of the North Carolina Health Care Facilities Association too, which connects them with other providers in the state. Southpoint has nurses, doctors, and therapists trained in rehabilitative care, and they make personalized care plans for each resident with a focus on physical, mental, and social well-being. Staff continues training, and there are education and resources for professional development, plus a 401K, health, vision, and dental benefits, and an enhanced wage scale based on experience. Employees also take part in the daily POPSPROGRAM for appreciation, and there's a nursing no-frills program for flexible work options.
Inspection records show 39 reported deficiencies, including 2 for infections, and some specific ones noted include the center's past issues with respiratory care, care plan timing, and pharmaceutical services, which were marked as areas to improve. Recent inspection dates include one on April 10, 2025. Nurse hours average 3.46 per resident per day, though the nurse turnover rate's been 78.7%, meaning staff comes and goes more than some places. The place is run for profit by a corporation with Simcha Hyman and Naftali Zanziper listed as affiliates. Southpoint accepts Medicare, managed care, private insurance, has VA contracts for veterans, and admits residents 7 days a week.
With formal dining rooms, an aim for a welcoming, "Healthy Happy Home" feel, and amenities to support residents, Southpoint sees itself as a community where both staff and residents matter, and annual surveys show folks recommend it for rehab and nursing care. Staff will help coordinate outside dialysis and medical appointments and provide transportation, so folks don't have to worry about getting to their doctors. They offer same-day pay for employees' convenience and work to promote job growth and satisfaction, and their links to Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram mean those who want to follow along online, can. Southpoint's a place for people needing short or long stays, with a mix of quality care, helpful programs, and a friendly approach to getting folks back on their feet or settled into a comfortable long-term home.
