Transportation and outings support travel beyond the community, while the fitness center, therapy room, café/bistro, beauty and barber shop, courtyard, and garden give residents places for exercise, therapy activities, refreshments, grooming, and outdoor time; Tim Schick serves as the administrator, and Springtree Manor operates the community.

Overview of PruittHealth Columbia

PruittHealth Columbia runs 185 beds in Richland County, Columbia, South Carolina, operating under the PruittHealth brand. At 80.8% occupancy with 140 residents and an average stay of 140 days, the facility skews short-term: the profile classifies it as primarily a short-stay destination, and the care model bears that out.

Rehabilitation is the center of gravity here. The facility confirms physical, occupational, speech, aquatic, and fitness therapy, targeting recovery from post-surgical wounds, injuries, and stroke. Hospice and palliative care round out the clinical offering for residents who need end-of-life support rather than a return to independence. Long-term skilled nursing is available as well, though it is not the primary profile.

Total nursing time is 4 hours and 1 minute per resident per day. The facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, and carries CMS certification for both government pathways. An active resident council meets regularly. The neighborhood is car-dependent with a Walk Score of 24, so families and visiting staff should plan on driving.

PruittHealth Columbia is a large, rehabilitation-oriented nursing facility built around post-hospital recovery, with enough breadth in its therapy offerings and care types to handle complex clinical presentations, and enough size, at 185 beds, to maintain consistent availability.
