Our Home Away From Home sits at 33 Mason Drive in Columbus, Georgia, and works as a small, licensed personal care home with only three licensed beds, making it a more private setting where staff know the residents well and can focus on each person's needs. The place provides long-term care and helps seniors with daily routines like bathing, dressing, transfers, and medicine management, and staff check in all day and night, keeping things safe and steady. Seniors here live in fully furnished or semi-private rooms with help for housekeeping, laundry, and linen changes, so it's easier for them to relax. The community serves meals in a spacious dining room and can handle special diets, like meals for diabetes and food allergies, with kitchen staff preparing everything on site.
There's Wi-Fi throughout the building, giving residents ways to stay in touch with family and the outside world, and there are outside garden areas and walking paths where seniors can get fresh air and move around safely. The place arranges transportation for appointments, pharmacy runs, and outings to local cafes and parks, making sure residents don't feel cut off from the community or their doctors. Activities and daily programs, including movie nights and group meals, keep people engaged and offer plenty of chances for socializing or enjoying quiet time in the common areas. Staff help set up the move-in process to make the change less stressful, and there's an emergency alert system for added peace of mind.
Care at Our Home Away From Home includes assistance for people dealing with memory loss or needing help because they can't live alone anymore, and the team works with outside healthcare providers to keep up with medical needs. The facility offers assisted living, adult day healthcare, respite care, hospice, skilled nursing, and memory care options. Services also cover home health, home care, support, and help with referrals to more specialized places when needed. The staff coordinate with clinics like Columbus Center for Reproductive, COLUMBUS WOMENS HEALTH ORG, and DIAGNOSTIC DERMATOPATHOLOGY ASSOCIATES, LLC, along with clinics and providers for things like end-stage renal dialysis, ambulatory surgical services, and outpatient treatments.
Seniors who live here get their own plan, tailored to what they need for health, well-being, and personal routines, so no two care plans look exactly the same. Amenities include phone access in rooms, meals planned for nutrition, scheduled community activities, and safe walking paths. Residents pay privately or use Medicaid, as Medicare isn't accepted unless CMS-certified. The environment focuses on comfort and familiarity, with a warm, home-like feel, and the smaller size lets relationships grow among staff and residents. The home keeps things simple, offers clear routines, and focuses on the happiness and independence of each person who lives there.
