Valley Senior Living On Columbia operates as a skilled nursing community, providing 24-hour licensed nursing oversight for residents who need ongoing clinical attention. The team manages medication administration, wound care, vital-sign monitoring, diabetes management, and other nursing tasks typical of a long-term care setting. Staff-to-resident ratios are structured to allow prompt response to changes in condition, and on-call medical providers are available for issues that arise outside regular hours.
Beyond core nursing care, the facility offers on-site physical therapy to help residents maintain or improve mobility after illness, injury, or surgery. Therapy sessions are delivered in a dedicated rehabilitation area and are coordinated with the nursing staff to ensure continuity of care. Additional support services, such as help with activities of daily living, social services, and discharge planning for short-stay residents, round out the clinical offerings.
Accommodations include a mix of private and shared rooms, each designed with wide doorways, accessible bathrooms, and basic furnishings. Some rooms feature in-room showers, individual climate controls, and cable television, while others do not, so prospective residents and families should confirm the specific layout and features during a tour. Small pets are allowed. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
Residents receive three daily meals prepared by kitchen staff under the guidance of a registered dietitian who adjusts menus for therapeutic diets such as low-sodium, diabetic, or pureed options. Meals are served in a communal dining room with staff assistance available for those who need help with eating, and snacks are offered between meals to support adequate caloric intake.
