North Country Associates

Southridge Rehabilitation and Living Center offers a full range of health services from post-acute, transitional care between hospital and home, to long-term nursing care. We also offer a special program for patients suffering from Alzheimer's Disease. Our programs are individualized, physician-directed, and goal-oriented to enable our patients to achieve their highest levels of independence. Rehabilitation is our specialty. We are on the leading edge of post-acute care in Southern Maine. Our patients benefit greatly from Southridge's progressive services, fully equipped rooms for occupational and physical therapy, and quick access to Southern Maine Medical Center.

Because we believe that the quality of life is as important as the quality of care, we have created an atmosphere that's both comfortable and stimulating - with a distinctive North Country touch.

Southridge Rehabilitation and Living Center has tastefully appointed, impeccably maintained bedrooms and common areas. An attractive living room enhances quiet visits with family and friends. The setting is peaceful, with a beautiful tree-lined lawn for outside gatherings.

Meals are nutritious and appealing. Our menus are carefully developed by a registered dietitian, food service supervisor, and the patients themselves.

Southridge offers many opportunities for social relationships. Our stimulating, well-rounded activities program is complimented by an activity director and two on-staff recreation therapists. Activities range from current events discussion groups and exercise classes to barbecues and films. We hold frequent outings in our wheelchair-accessible van for lunch, shopping, and special events.

We enjoy a strong link with the local community. Southridge welcomes the public to participate in facility programs such as holiday celebrations.

Weekly religious services provide an opportunity for patients to fulfill their spiritual needs.

Southridge also offers optional amenities such as private phone lines, cable television, and in-house hair stylist services.
