Life Care Center of Hilton Head: Skilled Nursing and Rehab
Life Care Center of Hilton Head is a skilled nursing and rehabilitation center at 120 Lamotte Drive, behind Hilton Head Hospital in the north-end medical district. It is part of Life Care Centers of America and, unlike the island’s other nursing units, it is not attached to a retirement community, so anyone can call it directly, with no membership or entrance fee behind it.
Rehab After Surgery or a Hospital Stay
The center gives 24-hour skilled nursing and short-term rehabilitation with its own therapists and nurses, and it also offers outpatient rehab. It runs a pre-admission program for people preparing for orthopedic surgery, and long-term care for those who need nursing help for good. Residents have private suites, a dining room, a rehabilitation gym and walking paths. Reviewers describe a clean building, knowledgeable staff and an admissions team that explains the Medicare paperwork.
