Post-Acute care typically refers to care provided to patients recently released from the hospital and can take place in many settings including nursing homes and rehabilitation centers. Here at South Coast Post Acute, our goal is to rehab patients to help them achieve their maximum functional capacity and get back to their homes in the shortest time possible. We have seen thousands of patients come through our community, and here are the most common medical injuries we have seen amongst our residents.

Hip Replacements
Hip replacement surgery is a procedure in which a doctor surgically removes a problematic hip joint and replaces it with an artificial joint often made from metal and plastic components. Recovery from a hip surgery requires extensive physical therapy. Staying at a post-acute care community during this time can allow you easy access to the care that you need.
Back Surgery
Back pain is one of the most common chronic medical issues that occur in adults and back surgery is seen as a last result when treating back pain. From spinal issues to herniated discs, underlying issues of back pain will decide what kind of surgery is performed. Recovery usually takes 3 to 6 months and it is important to have support from medical professionals during this time.
