Columbus Skilled Nursing Centers | Nursing Homes

Apart from those two general categories of skilled nursing care, certain facilities will specialize in a particular condition.

Short-term care patients most often seek rehabilitation from medical events such as strokes, aneurisms and falls. Some patients are able to use their hospital’s nursing care complex, however others must receive outpatient care from a standalone institution. During short-term care, a patient’s path to recovery may include physical, occupational, speech or respiratory therapy. 100 percent recovery is not the goal of short-term recovery. That is left for lower levels of care. Short-term care is the bridge that helps gap hospital care and in home or assisted living care. Since hospital care is the initial leg of a patient’s eventual recovery, it is important they seek the best hospital possible. Based on patients’ hospital experiences, the best Columbus health care services can be found at Hughston Hospital, St. Francis Hospital Inc. and Doctors Hospital.

Long-term care is typically required because a patient’s prior mode of care can no longer provide for his or her declining state. Patients with Alzheimer’s, chronic kidney or cardiovascular disease, dementia, multiple sclerosis or general physical decline are often in need of long-term care. Extended skilled nursing care helps patients manage or improve their level of health through a coordinated effort by a facility’s caregivers. Facility doctors and nurses may perform medical skills such as check-ups, intravenous therapy, wound care, tracheostomies, colostomies, mobility exercises and medication management. Non-medical personnel are on hand to assist with a patient’s general hygiene and custodial care. Social workers try to give patients as much independence as possible while still trying to engage patients through events, activities and companionship.

Columbus skilled nursing facility costs are more than $100 below the Georgia state median. Semi-private and private SNF rooms have a monthly cost of $4,836 and $5,137, respectively. For homemaker services, home health aide and assisted living bedrooms, the monthly costs in the Columbus area are $2,860, $3,146 and $2,562, respectively.

Finding the right nursing home is often a confusing and difficult process. Lots of research on amenities, caregivers, facilities and complaints will help, but the most effective way to decide on a home is a personal visit. These visits will help seniors and their families get a feel for the home’s atmosphere and general nature. Homes with upbeat, happy, engaged and active patients and caregivers are more likely to provide proper medical treatment.
