Liberty Commons Nursing & Rehab Center of Halifax County sits in the peaceful northeastern corner of North Carolina, close to I-95 and about 3.9 miles from Roanoke Rapids. The facility stays open all day and night, every day of the week. The clinical team here builds person-centered care plans to help residents regain daily skills and avoid going back to the hospital. The center accepts Medicaid and Medicare and offers a wide range of services, including skilled nursing care, short-term rehab, hospice, palliative, respite care, and outpatient therapy. They care for people after illness, surgery, or hospitalization, providing help with everyday tasks like bathing, dressing, transfers, or toileting. There's also help for folks with more complex needs, like managing wounds, getting IV therapy, handling incontinence, and getting support for heart and lung troubles. Specialty services include geriatric psychiatry and podiatry.
There are 50 certified skilled nursing beds, and the community holds up to 75 residents. The staff includes registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, certified nursing assistants, therapists, and doctors, all experienced with complicated health issues. They have a nurse turnover rate lower than the state average, though their nurse staffing hours are a bit below what's typical for the state. On-site, residents get help with medications and receive wellness checks, plus daily housekeeping, laundry, and meals, with special diet options for allergies and diabetes. Extra touches like flat-screen TVs, phones in rooms, and Wi-Fi come included in select rooms, and there are both private and semi-private suites. Some rooms have in-room fridges or let you eat meals in your own space. The whole building has an emergency alert system, and the staff can respond 24 hours a day.
The facility offers a well-equipped therapy gym, an Activities of Daily Living Suite for therapy, and therapies like diathermy, electrical stimulation, and vital stimulation to help regain strength, movement, and speech. There are community areas like indoor lounges, outdoor patios, gardens, walking paths, an arts room, and a beauty salon. Residents can join in on social programs, movie nights, and even help run some events. There are programs for people staying short-term, too, covering therapy, nursing, meals, salon visits, housekeeping, and transportation.
Liberty Commons is managed by Liberty Healthcare Management, Inc., and has been under their company since 2005. The community belongs to the Liberty Senior Living and Liberty Health and Rehab networks. The administrator is Veronica Slade. The building has had regular inspections and meets care requirements, though it's had some past deficiencies noted, such as in environmental standards and care planning, which are common in many centers. The center is part of the North Carolina Health Care Facilities Association and holds a 2-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Residents give it a high average score of 9.1 out of 10, making it the top-rated community in its city. The campus keeps up community amenities, offers daily housekeeping and fresh meals, and maintains quiet spaces and gathering areas to support both privacy and social time. The goal seems clear: support each resident's needs in a safe, stable environment with access to basic comfort, skilled care, and social connection.
