Mostly short-term rehab stays
Most residents typically stay for a few weeks or months before returning home or moving on.
Most new residents arrive under Medicare (51% of admissions), and a typical Medicare stay runs around 1 - 2 months.
Located in central Georgia, Bryant Health and Rehabilitation Center is a 75-bed nursing home that has been operating in Cochran for 24 years. Run by owner Samesshia Askew, the facility runs at about 91 percent occupancy with 68 residents currently placed. The average length of stay is around eight and a half months, as the team splits its workload between permanent residential care and short-term post-hospital rehab. For payment, the business office accepts standard private pay, Medicare, and Medicaid.
The immediate neighborhood is moderately walkable, so visitors can handle a few simple tasks on foot without always needing to drive. Inside the building, residents get about 2 hours and 30 minutes of direct nursing attention each day from a combined team of RNs, licensed vocational nurses, and aides. This floor crew manages the daily routine, including physical and occupational therapy, respite care, laundry services, and general housekeeping.
A compliance survey in 2025 flagged a few areas for improvement, but management resolved these issues, and a follow-up inspection cleared the home with zero lingering citations.
Prospective representatives can contact the main registration desk to see if there are any current openings, ask about the short-term recovery programs, or coordinate a time to walk through the facility.
Bryant Health and Rehabilitation Center is administered by Samesshia Askew.
