Life Care Center of Columbia is a skilled nursing-home facility that delivers around-the-clock clinical oversight for residents who require ongoing medical attention. Licensed nurses coordinate care plans that may include respiratory therapy for chronic or post-acute breathing conditions, short-term rehabilitation after surgery or illness, and participation in a structured pulmonary rehabilitation program designed to improve lung function and stamina. For families who need a temporary solution, the center also offers respite care, providing a safe, staffed environment while primary caregivers take time away.

Beyond direct medical interventions, the facility employs an interdisciplinary team of therapists, nurses, and case managers who track progress and adjust treatment goals. On-site therapy gyms support daily physical, occupational, and speech therapy sessions, while in-house diagnostic services limit the need for external appointments. Discharge planning begins on admission, helping residents transition to lower levels of care or return home with the necessary equipment, follow-up appointments, and educational resources.

Resident rooms are arranged to balance privacy with access to care, and several floor plans are available. Depending on the chosen layout, a room may include cable TV, wireless internet, and a private kitchenette; some suites also open to landscaped outdoor areas. Because features vary, prospective residents and families are encouraged to verify which amenities are included in the specific accommodation they select.

Dining services emphasize nutrition that aligns with each care plan. Registered dietitians work with clinical staff to create menus that accommodate therapeutic diets, texture modifications, or calorie adjustments. Meals are prepared on-site and served in a communal dining room, with the option for tray service when a resident’s condition requires it. Flexible visiting hours make it easier for family members to share a meal or provide support during dining times.

To support daily engagement, the community maintains an activity center where staff schedule exercise classes, games, and social gatherings. A library and computer lounge offer quiet space for reading, internet access, and virtual visits with family.
