  Brenda the Executive Director is the best by far, extremely committed to her staff, residents and their loved ones. My senior living community has had a few residents sent to Columbus Health and Rehab after a hospitalization and all returned to their baseline and they were very pleased with their care. The nurses and CNAs are very caring and hard working. The therapy department is amazing, kitchen and laundry services are great. I highly recommend Columbus Health and Rehab.

  Both my mother and father have been cared for at the Columbus Health and Rehab and I am very pleased with their support. Specifically: the staff is "consistent" over time - we know who will be working with family members - there is minimal turnover. The consistency is so important to those who are already experiencing physical, mental, social, and emotional trauma. Additionally: the therapists are excellent and work diligently to reach established goals; the nurses are experienced, kind, and considerate - and bring their A game every day/night; the assistants are personable and supportive, getting to know residents and meet their needs; the social worker is thorough and supportive. Everyone has done everything possible to keep the environment healthy and safe during COVID. They test regularly and screen everyone entering every day/night. This is a challenging job at any time, but particularly difficult during COVID 19 and the facility is going above and beyond to keep residents and employees safe and healthy. Thank you!
