We were very impressed with Columbia Post Acute. Not only is the facility beautiful and clean, every staff member is absolutely amazing. From the front desk to dietary, nursing and beyond everyone was pleasant, attentive and went out of their way to make my husband's stay as pleasant and comfortable as possible. I have been a nurse for 42 years and was absolutely blown away with the wonderful care and attention to every detail in my husband care. My husband was a very picky eater and dietary made sure to give him the foods he requested, I made a lot of changes to his menu, and they made sure he received what he asked for. I highly recommend this rehab center to everyone.

.I enjoyed all the employees at post acute. I got my sense of humor and needed joy and knew they cared. I knew it was a good place to start recovery. People are shocked when the see and talk to me. I'm a better happier and healthier person. I have new found energy (a bit hyper, haaaa)! A draw back for anybody in a conversation with me!! I strongly suggest all employees from top to bottom be rewarded. Peace and love, Dave sappington P.S. I enjoy playing music.. it's my favorite activity. Before I learned I had kidney failure. Me and some friends and jam mates and son Eric, would jam all afternoon. Well, today after a 2. Months I was feeling really good. We had a fantastic session today!! Best day ever! I know the staff and caring at post acute acute made it happen! Peace and a lotta love, Sappington

The staff was great and friendly, they let us bring our dog in to see my mom. She ate well and had all the help see needed. My mom loved that they had bird feeders outside of every window so she could watch the birds. Very thankful for all they did

Our family had a very positive experience with Columbia Post Acute during my mom’s recent two-month rehabilitation stay. The staff was always friendly, caring, and respectful. Communication with our family was excellent, and they regularly kept us informed. Most importantly, the nursing and rehab provided helped her regain her strength and get back on her feet. We truly appreciate the care they provided and highly recommend Columbia Post Acute.
