Millennium Post Acute Rehabilitation in West Columbia, SC operates as a skilled nursing facility that centers its services on medical recovery and long-term nursing care. Residents have access to 24-hour licensed nursing, regular physician rounds, and a full complement of rehabilitative therapies including physical, occupational, and speech therapy delivered seven days a week when clinically indicated. The clinical team is equipped to manage complex care needs such as IV antibiotic therapy, wound management, post-surgical recovery, and tracheostomy or oxygen support. Medication administration, pain control, and ongoing health monitoring are provided under evidence-based protocols aimed at shortening hospital stays and reducing rehospitalizations.
Beyond direct medical treatments, the facility provides individualized care planning that brings together nursing staff, therapists, social workers, and family members to set goals and track progress. Discharge planning starts on admission to ensure residents have appropriate follow-up services or equipment when they return home or transfer to another setting. On-site social services address psychosocial needs, while restorative nursing programs help residents maintain functional gains once formal therapy sessions end. Regular infection-prevention rounds, fall-reduction initiatives, and nutrition reviews form part of the facility’s broader quality-assurance system.
Accommodations include a mix of private and shared rooms, each furnished with an adjustable hospital bed and basic storage. Many rooms feature an in-room bathroom with wheelchair-accessible fixtures, individual climate controls, and a flat-screen television, though these features are not available in every accommodation. Wi-Fi access is offered throughout much of the building, and housekeeping and personal laundry are handled on a scheduled basis. Residents who require closer observation can be assigned to rooms located near the nurses’ station, while others may choose quieter areas, subject to availability.
Meals are prepared under the supervision of a registered dietitian to meet clinical and cultural preferences as well as physician-ordered therapeutic diets such as cardiac, renal, or diabetic plans. The main dining room provides staffed assistance for those who need help eating, and lighter fare or snacks are available between meals. Residents who are unable to leave their rooms receive tray service delivered according to the same dietary guidelines. Special meals, holiday menus, and occasional cookouts are scheduled throughout the year, but participation and menu variety can differ depending on medical restrictions and census levels.
