Stevens Park Health & Rehabilitation sits along Stevens Creek Road in Augusta, and you'll notice right away that staff members around here tend to be polite and caring, always doing their best to look after the needs of the residents, and you might see them answering requests quickly or checking on folks to make sure they're comfortable, which matters a lot when you need help with daily activities or some extra medical care, since this place provides both skilled nursing and rehabilitative services for people staying short-term or those who need to live here for a while. This facility's been serving people for over 50 years, and you'll see volunteers drop by from time to time to entertain the residents, maybe a gospel singing group, maybe crafts or exercise sessions, movie nights, bingo, Bible study, and even fun socials like 'Evening with Friends & Family' or nail painting they call 'Fancy Nails'. There's a real restaurant-style dining room where everyone can enjoy meals, plus snack carts roll around with gourmet treats, fresh fruit, and sweets, and the kitchen works with Georgia Grown to serve local foods as often as possible, so the food stands out a bit more than what some places offer.
Stevens Park Health & Rehabilitation keeps the surrounding grounds tidy with landscaped outdoor sitting areas where you'll spot folks relaxing in the fresh air, and their indoor areas carry touches like cozy sitting alcoves and climate control to help people feel a bit more at home, while rooms come in both private and semi-private options, each with a private bathroom-there's even a luxurious spa with a therapeutic whirlpool tub, and a beauty and barber shop on site, which some find helps them keep up their routines. TV's in common spots offer entertainment, and the whole place is smoke-free, which a lot of families want. Activities promote getting to know neighbors, and the environment encourages bringing in personal belongings, so you can decorate your space to suit your taste.
Licensed with Medicare and Medicaid, Stevens Park Health & Rehabilitation has 42 certified beds and most days there are about 40 residents, so it's not too crowded. They provide around 3.7 nurse hours per resident each day, which compares fairly decent, but there's a nurse turnover rate at 37.5%, so sometimes staff changes happen. The facility's run as a non-profit and is managed by Clinical Services Inc and owned by Community Health Systems, Inc. and Health Scholarships Inc, and it stays focused on helping people recover or maintain their quality of life with full-service transitions from hospital to rehab or long-term care, whether someone needs independent living, assisted living, memory care, hospice, or a more residential care setting.
Inspection reports have found two deficiencies in total, one related to infection control and one concerning nutrition and dietary standards, but the staff continues to work on infection prevention and control measures to protect the health of people living there, and audits try to keep the care quality on track. They do have a senior-friendly environment, a team of skilled doctors, and make an effort to give each person the care that fits them best, though as with any place, there's always areas to improve-folks here really just try to help residents live as comfortably as possible, for however long they stay.
