PruittHealth – Columbia operates as a skilled nursing home, offering short-term rehabilitation and long-term care under the supervision of licensed nurses. The clinical team coordinates closely with physicians and therapists to manage complex medical needs, wound care, medication administration, and chronic disease monitoring. An on-site physical therapy program is available for residents who require strength building, mobility improvement, or post-surgical recovery, delivered in a dedicated therapy space equipped for gait training and therapeutic exercise.
Beyond direct medical services, the staff develops individualized care plans that outline daily goals, therapy schedules, and personal support requirements. Certified nursing assistants help residents with bathing, dressing, and other activities of daily living, while social workers address discharge planning and family communication. Regular assessments track progress and adjust interventions, ensuring continuity of care throughout a resident’s stay.
Residents live in private or semi-private rooms designed for accessibility, and certain rooms open to outdoor areas where walking paths and garden spaces can be enjoyed. Not all accommodations include every outdoor feature, so prospective residents and families should verify availability during tours. Rooms include basic furnishings, safety call systems, and climate control, with housekeeping and laundry services handled by staff.
Meals are prepared on-site, and three nutritionally balanced options are offered each day in a restaurant-style dining room. A registered dietitian oversees menus to accommodate therapeutic diets, texture modifications, or physician-ordered restrictions. The activity center frequently hosts group programs before and after mealtimes, encouraging social engagement and cognitive stimulation.
Additional conveniences include a library and computer lounge where residents can read, use the internet, or attend scheduled technology workshops. Complimentary Wi-Fi and staff assistance with device setup are available to help residents stay connected with family, manage personal affairs, or pursue leisure interests.
