Fort Valley Health and Rehab

Fort Valley Health and Rehab is a skilled nursing facility on Bluebird Blvd in Fort Valley, Georgia, and it's been around since 2012 with a team of licensed practical nurses and specially trained caregivers who handle short and long-term care, including respite and comfort care when families or residents need a break or extra support. People come here for many types of help - they might need physical therapy or rehab after a surgery, a place to recover from a stroke or heart issue, or ongoing nursing for complex needs like wound care, IV antibiotics, or PEG tubes, and the staff can help with memory care for dementia too, which is a tough thing to find at some places. The staff are dedicated to emotional support as well as giving medicine and handling personal care, so folks are treated kindly and their dignity is respected every day, and you'll see people talking in English and sometimes other languages, depending on who's on shift. The building has some nice touches, like private and semi-private rooms, a dining room, a hair salon and barber, outdoor and social spaces, and everyone can get on the WiFi if they need to. The community focuses on helping residents feel at home and stay independent as much as possible, and that means they take time to know everyone and give personalized attention, not just follow a checklist. There are special programs for cardiac rehab, pulmonary rehab, treating sepsis, life vest care, and respiratory needs, plus adult day care and counseling if someone's not moving in long-term. The place has ties to Mission Health and follows CARES values, which means they say character, attitude, respect, excellence, and service matter to them, but you'll mostly notice the way they treat people, and you get a mix of older and newer comforts. Right now, they're not taking new patients, but they do offer a full range of care, from independent living and personal care to skilled nursing and memory care, for those already in their community.
