My experience at Lorien Columbia was absolutely wonderful. All the staff were skilled and. caring and treated me so very well. I must especially commend two of the nurses who were so professional and had such a tremendous bedside manner. Nurses Ellen and Leah (I’m sorry I cannot remember their last names but the cared for me in Room 208)made my stay at Lorien Columbia a good and memorable experience. - a 5 star experience. . They were skilled at their work with my condition and they helped keep my attitude positive and joyful. In all my years at Lorien institutions they are the finest nurses that I have ever encountered. The food was really good and having choices was a fine experience. This was my third trip through Lorien Columbia and the meals were better than ever. All in all my time at Lorien Columbia was fantastic.

My 93 year old mother-in-law was at Lorien Columbia for rehabilitation after a 9 day stay at Howard County General Hospital. We all (MIL, FIL and me) were extremely pleased with all the staff who helped her during this time. In particular, we found Kena, LaFrance, Nasirah, Iffy, Angela, Elizabeth and Josh to be very caring and attentive, which in turn helped her to reach her goal of returning home in just 2 short weeks. PT, OT & speech therapists were wonderful as well. Lorien has done an amazing job of hiring the right people to care for patients in a challenging hiring environment and deserve many kudos for this.

Kadesha from Lorien called us to inform us we were accepted for rehab transferred me to Helen in the Finance area and she explained to me what to expect. Ms La La admitted us at roughly 1030 pm Very professional and had a smile even though my demeanor wasn’t the most pleasant due to my sheer exhaustion. Our encounter with staff from 3 south was very accommodating. Kena consistently followed up throughout our stay to check on us. Dr Thomas was very professional forthcoming and thorough my Mom complimented his bed side manner. Mom for the most part enjoyed most of the meals. Mom was experiencing lack of sleep Due to our room mate having intermittent loud outbursts. Mom was able to transition to a new room. The 3 south staff was a tough act to follow but the 2 south staff picked up where they left off. The dialysis center provided my mom with Smoothness in the sticking process. McKenna was able to get answer questions needed. On visits Whitney at the front desk always smiled and said enjoy your visit Sterling Thoroughly explained the discharge process . My mom s rehab experience was a success

We brought our dad from other nursing home because my mother passed away there. Dad was very depressed. Here at Lorien dad got better and better every day. Thanks to all the help from staff specially the nurse Oh. She’s Korean and my dad feels comfortable with her. Her care made my dad recover from depression. Dad seems relaxed and eating well too. Thank you for caring with love.

I was admitted to the Lorien Rehabilitation in Columbia on January 20th, 2026 and was discharged on February 12th, 2026., I am writing this to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible care I received during my stay there. All staff had been extremely kind and ready to help promptly, thoughtfully, and efficiently. I will never forget their dedication to my healing. I would like to personally thank: Irfan, Angela, Elizabeth, Abu, Joshua, Katie, Missi, Kalsey, Dr. Seay, Nurse Practitioner Lauren and social worker Damara. The management, the nursing staff, the physio therapy, occupation therapy, speech therapy, and even the support staff make Lorien Rehabilitation, one of the best center in the Washington Metropolitan area. With heartiest appreciation, Nanik Lahori
