Nursing Home Communities in Columbus, GA

"Parkwood is an extended stay nursing home for clients with a number of disabilities. I went to this place because my client wasnt specific about anything they were looking for other than the place not having too many nursing home dificiencies. To my surprise, I didnt find any reported deficiencies since the beginning of 2010. Thats over a year. Way to go!! :) "

"My Father, who also has dementia, fell and broke his hip. When he left the hospital after surgery, he was taken to another rehab besides Muscogee Manor, but he was re-injured there, and had to have a second surgery. When he left the hospital the second time, I chose Muscogee Manor for his rehab, and now his permanent home. I could not be happier! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and compassionate. The facility is clean. His clothes are laundered as soon as he takes them off, and back in his room right away! He is always clean, his room and bed are clean, and he seems content. I would highly recommend this facility for your loved ones, and believe me, I am VERY picky! :) "

"My husband was in Orchard View for rehab, and I wanted to get him out of there as soon as possible. It's a nursing home, you can get rehab there too. They do not keep you informed about anything. My husband is deaf and I have to be informed of what's going on. I'm a hands-on person, I'm not one who just sticks him over there and leaves him. I want to know everything that goes on. I never got to see him when he was in there. I would have to keep calling to ask how he was doing, and they'd say, "Oh, he's doing fine," but that's not enough for me. I want to know specifically how he's doing and they didn't tell me that. I was never in his room, I couldn't go in because of COVID. His blood count got down so low and he was bleeding also. They had to call me and have him taken to the hospital. I don't think it should have gotten that low. They should have done something about it before it got that bad. The place was very clean but it was sterile, it didn't feel so homey at all. The only part I had ever been in was when you walk in the door and it's like you're in some institution. I never saw a single person there. Nobody was around wherever you went. At his current facility, you see activity all the time. I would take something over for him, I would bake, and they would say they couldn't give it to him. I don't see why not. I know the COVID thing is something we need to be careful about but there has to be some other way of doing things than just saying he can't have it. He went there for rehab and as soon as that was over, I took him out."

"I went to place a client here, but found out they didnt have anymore empty beds. I would see this as a good thing, means business is good. "

"My mother spent three weeks at Regional Rehabilitation Hospital and she just went back on Wednesday night. They just moved her from the hospital. The staff is just great. I like the staff. They're good, prompt, and thorough. Sometimes, they're not going to come right away because they're probably dealing with another patient, but when they're with your loved one, they're attentive. I like it. It's an excellent facility. The physical therapist, the case manager, and even the pharmacist call me. My mom is on pureed food, but to me it's OK. I love the staff. Every night, they come in. They introduce themselves when they change shifts. It's so comfortable. Thursday night, while I was in there with my mom, the lady next to my mom started throwing up and rolled over her back, so I ran out in the hall to call someone. They came right in and they were there for at least an hour taking care of her because she just kept throwing up. They call someone else to cover the other patients. The staff I saw was Kevin and the other lady. Even when I was taking care of my mom last night, the girl came in because Kevin was busy processing people. Kevin was the one assigned to mom. The other lady covered for Kevin because mom went to the bathroom. I saw them do that two days in a row. It's clean. If you use the bathroom when you first come into the building, that's clean. It's a cozy, friendly, and warm environment. Her insurance covers everything, so we're not paying out-of-pocket."

"I called and scheduled a tour at Cantebury and found it to be pleasant except I noticed some of the rooms weren't very tidy. When I went to ask why, the lady told me she was going to be honest, they are under staffed in that department and they have an interview scheduled on Monday 12-5-11. "

"I would have wanted to know how truly good the people are that work there and how hard they work 24/7 . The people that work at the nursing home where my mother resides are really hard working people and they have so much love and compasion for each resident. And they keep me informed with every change that takes place with my mother. "

"I became the careprovider for my uncle upon the death of my father. He was living on his own with me trying to oversee his finances and health and recreation from an hour away. It became impossible as he needs constant guidence. Magnolia Manor was an excellent choice for my uncle it provides for hishealth and he has companionship and a friendly, caring staff. They provide lots of projects to keep him busy and he still has access to the outside through visits and friends and family day trips. It was the best decision i could have made for James. He is well cared for and says he is the happiest he's been in a long time. "

"Arbor is located right next door to East Alabama Medical Center. So any medical problems that may arise, there is a safety net right next door. But on the other hand, they have had a number of fire alarm and automatic sprinkler deficiencies backing all the way from 2008. My client chose not to go here for that reason alone. However, the place is extremely pleasant though. Very comforting from the moment you walk in. I was pleased & would recommend others. "

"My grandmother is in Diversicare of Lanett. So far, we like it. She's only been there about a month, but we like it. The staff has been great, so far. They've taken good care of her. They spoil her. They have some coloring activities and some puzzles, and then they have game time together. She's in a shared room and she seems to be comfortable. They've been very helpful. I've seen the food, and she's not complaining. They seem to be good, and it smells good. It's an older facility, so it's not amazing, but it is clean and they keep it up. They have a common eating area. They have a common sitting area to watch TV and stuff. We have a big game coming this weekend, so they'll have a little party during a football game this weekend."
