Columbus Health and Rehab

I am very fortunate to be the Administrator of Columbus Health and Rehab. The team here is amazing. This has been one of the most challenging years in my career., but working with the sraff in this community and watching them love, nurture, and protect our residents during a pandemic has strongly reminded me of why i became a nurse in the first place. This is the best team EVER!!

Both my mother and father have been cared for at the Columbus Health and Rehab and I am very pleased with their support. Specifically: the staff is "consistent" over time - we know who will be working with family members - there is minimal turnover. The consistency is so important to those who are already experiencing physical, mental, social, and emotional trauma. Additionally: the therapists are excellent and work diligently to reach established goals; the nurses are experienced, kind, and considerate - and bring their A game every day/night; the assistants are personable and supportive, getting to know residents and meet their needs; the social worker is thorough and supportive. Everyone has done everything possible to keep the environment healthy and safe during COVID. They test regularly and screen everyone entering every day/night. This is a challenging job at any time, but particularly difficult during COVID 19 and the facility is going above and beyond to keep residents and employees safe and healthy. Thank you!

Where to start...
My parents have been residents there for almost a year now... by far the BEST place around. The staff here is phenomenal.. very caring and patient with all the residents. We lost our mom back in February and the support we received from the staff here was much appreciated... the Nemec family would like to thank the staff here for the excellent care that was given to our parents while they were here at CHR... a special thank you to Brittany and Kendall for the great care given to my dad since mom passed...

As a retired minister who has visited church members and family in many dozens of health care centers, nursing homes, hospital rehab facilities, etc. in 8 states over 50 years, I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience these past 16 months while visiting my mother-in-law in this unique setting of loving care.
Loving Care is exemplified from the women who clean the rooms, vacuum the floors, and take out the trash, to the Administrator AND everyone else: the cooks, rehab folks, CNAs, nurses, aides, department leaders, and volunteers. Each one personally related to Mom with respect, dignity, understanding and joy.
All of these folks looked after us, Mom's family in the same way. The regular staff meetings always had clear communication, a helpful process for meeting goals and listening to any questions, and follow through. The staff accommodated our needs and requests at every turn.
The facility is beautiful, including a special floor to ceiling "window" of glorious birches, and always very clean. There are a variety of comfortable spaces for family gatherings and meals, games, puzzles, or just hanging out.
Columbus Health and Rehab has a FIVE STAR rating for all the right reasons, it is truly THE BEST of all such facilities I have visited in my adult life.

Columbus Health and Rehab is a great place to work! I truly believe we take great care of our residents. Our team is outstanding! We have lots of fun here! Instead of feeling like I am at work, it feels like I am hanging out with family and friends!
