I work in the burning community with rehab faculties and the staff here are so attentive to each patients rehab needs. They meet them where they are and do their best to get them to thier best level of function to improve their quality of life. The staff Are kind and helpful. Skylar Chastain and Tiffany Christopher advocate daily for their patients and go above and beyond to help them and their families as they transition out of rehab to be sure they are in the right environment to continue living their best quality of life.

Back about 10 years ago my grandmother was at, what was called Heritage, and i would not have recommended it to anyone. But I would highly recommend it now. They have done a tremendous job of rentavation of the place and they have done away fantastic job. If anyone is looking for or needs a recommend rehab place, I highly recommend Pruitt Health Athens Heritage located on Hawthorne Ave., Athens, GA.. The administrative staff are so polite and take time with you and your family. Jennifer H. and Skylar are very kind. They keep checking in with you during your stay to make sure everything is okay. I can't say enough about how Jennifer H. was so helpful with my discharge. The CNA,s Cathy, Valerie and Julia are great. They take really great care of you. If you have to go there and you happen to get Julia during the day you will love her. The nurses I had was David and Amelia. David was my night nurse so I didn't see him to much but he was very nice. Amelia was great. She just seemed to know if you needed to ask for anything without you even asking her. Then there is house keeping. LaReesla B. does a great job in cleaning your room and bathroom. Overall PRUITTHEALTH ATHENS HERITAGE is a fantastic place to be for rehab.
