I would give it 5 Stars but they aren't perfect but they're exactly like your family would treat you. They are the most heartwarming set of caregivers I've ever met in my life, I've been through three rehab facilities this year alone and this was my favorite one because of the nurses & aides made me feel like I was the most important person in the room. I've I was able to walk with my Walker and I was able to meet many people, even in silent people and they were all very well taken care of, it's crazy to think that when I went into this place I was so headstrong and was resistant to anything they said but they started showing me from the beginning that I do matter as a patient but they do have a limit and as a patient you have to be willing to work with your caregivers as much as they work with you and you have a successful outcome. Shout out to Habib, he's the real MVP!
My father spent a couple of weeks there for some physical therapy and rehabilitation. The nurses, aids, and house doctor are all wonderful. Dad was very happy with the kindness and care he recieved from everyone. If I could review just them it would be 5 stars. The food was mediocre. It was better than a recent trip to Foss home but not exactly good. The admin side of the place is a disaster and the reason for the bad review. It's impossible to get ahold of anyone. You can never reach anyone on the phone. Emails and voice mails were never answered. A social worker lied to my wife claiming she was in regular communication with the family. Even the discharge was a mess. My father was sitting in his room waiting to leave and the cabulance driver (who Columbia scheduled) was standing in the lobby waiting to pick up, but the discharge paperwork wasn't done. The driver waited as long as he could but had to leave and take care of the next appointment. It's a shame that the admin team is so poor because the care was very good. Hopefully someone will read this and make some changes. Update a month later my Dad is having several new problems. His primary doctor ordered blood tests to see what is going on. Dad's thyroid numbers are all messed up. It turns out the house doctor at Columbia changed the prescription of Dad's thyroid medication, cutting it in half. We have no idea why. It was decision that would have been very dangerous if we wouldn't have caught it. Can I give a negative 5 star review?
This Facility is horrible!! do not send you loved one here. they treated my grandfather horrible. The nurses are rude and disrespectful. They have no TLC at this location. I was on the phone with my grandfather and the nurse didn't no I was on the phone she had a bad tone and was very smart talking to my grandfather . I had to chime in over the phone and ask the nurse not to speak to my grandfather with that type of tone or disrespect. my grandfather was doing just fine when arrived to the facility but declined less than a week of being in the care of Columbia Lutheran because they did not pay attention to his needs and he retuned to the hospital. This place is horrible please keep you loved ones away from here
Columbia Lutheran has no care or compassion. They do not follow through with procedures of taking care of their patients. My father was not taken care of, talked down to and treated like like a child. His hygiene care was not followed, they will give medication to your loved one w/o your permission and then barely even check in on them. Checking him out was like getting an inmate out of prison and handled very unprofessional. All Columbia Lutheran care about is money in their pocket. Do not bring your loved ones there, you, will regret it. 1 week was way too long for my family.
I have been to many retirement homes and rehab centers. This place is very exceptional when it comes to the care. The nurses are super caring, loving, and attentive. They're always sitting with the patients and making sure they take their time to have a conversation with them. Places like these tend to forget that people need something as simple as a talking to. And this place brings that kind of attitude. From what I can see when dropping off a patient; they talk to their patients without any hesitation and with nothing but smiles. If I was older and had to come here, I would be happy to do so.
