Overview of The Columns Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center

The Columns Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center, in Jonesville, LA, carries memory care, respite care, nursing home care, and skilled nursing. The licensed nursing does not thin out overnight. Memory care is supervised, which helps ensure a resident who may be at risk of wandering is monitored.

Respite care exists for a family needing a short-term cover while a primary caregiver is elsewhere. Across the four, a resident whose needs move around over time has somewhere to move around inside.

Bed capacity at the center is 140. Each resident gets 3 hours and 38 minutes of nursing over a day.

Short-Term Rehab and Rehabilitation Services are both named, so recovery work belongs to the building’s own list. Religious Services appear among the amenities for the residents who want them.

Payment arrives by Medicare, by Medicaid, or privately. Columns SNF Operations runs the center, which fits someone needing skilled nursing, memory care, or a short stay under respite.
