As I begin the process of being discharged from Lorien Columbia I reflect on my story here. When I first came here I expected to stay here about 2-3 months but due to several major health issues during my stay which extended my stay to 3 years. Through the excellent care by staff equal service by the in house therapy I became particularly mobile and I started to join in the activities offered. I met and I have made many great friends. The residents and staff greeted me with such a welcome and love. I feel that each day I became a little stronger and more independent. The staff was with me every step of the way to prepare me for the trip home. Lorien Columbia far exceeds the quality of the others. The staff were very accessible from the administrator to the house keepers. They are accommodating from the food requirements to supplying everything in between. All of my needs were met. I would not hesitate to recommend Lorien to be of the highest quality to meet anyone's needs
I brought my mom here for rehabilitation and it was the Best choice I had made. I'm so glad I did. It's very clean , the nursing staff and all the employees are so welcoming and they care about their patients. They guided and involved me in my mom's care all throughout the process. They were able to figure out why my mom couldn't eat and so many other issues. My mom had come from a different rehab that should not be in business in by any means. It was so disgusting from the place to the employees.I'm thankful and grateful for the Team at Lorien in Columbia. Mush love - Thank you.
Our mother-in-law stayed at Lorien Columbia after hip surgery, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the care she received. The nurses, floor staff, PTs, and OTs were kind, patient, and encouraging every day. The team handled our concerns promptly and made her feel safe and supported throughout her recovery. Thanks to everyone at Lorien Columbia for helping her regain strength and confidence!
Hi, my name is Yvonne and I would like to share my experience with my mom then at Lorien. It is the best thing that ever happened for my mother. I don’t know how many words that I have that I can use. It was a scary thing of course to allow my mother to go anywhere, but it’s time went on learning that the love that they have for my mom and I understanding and understanding that they have for me was great because I went through a lot of changes also. And I thank God for the staff from the top to the bottom that was willing to listen to me about anything I needed to talk about because of my fear because of my because of my lack of understanding, they help me to trust that everything is going to be OK and that my mom is going to be OK and that they love my mother and that they love me too. I’m starting to drop tears as a right I feel the love that they have for me and I feel the love that they have for my mom. They call my mom Mother Knight. They understand more about her than I do with her dementia. I’m so happy that they do because it’s time that I fall short my story that can go on and on and on, but I will say that I wouldn’t want my mom no other place. This is her second time there I don’t know what else to say but all great things about Lorien. It was times that the staff took the time for me that I need it and all I just wanna do right now is just say thank you cause water is coming down my eyes that’s enough. Thank you you guys. I love y’all.
I wanted to reach out and deeply thank you and your staff from everyone including the cleaning staff to the assistant nurses and nurses and the front door staff everyone at Lorien Columbia health care exceeded me and my families expectations. We have heard horror stories about Rehab centers , however this was not the case at Lorien. Thank you for getting my father back to almost healthy. I am sure he is not going to receive the same service at home
