Lorien Columbia sits in a quiet, forested area near Robinson Nature Center and has a wide range of care for older adults, which means there's nursing care, assisted living, memory care for Alzheimer's, sub-acute rehabilitation, and clinical services like physical, occupational, and speech therapy that are there whether someone stays short-term or longer, and the nursing community's got specialized care such as skilled nursing, ventilator care, and tracheotomy care with board-certified pulmonologists close by for support, so folks can get the help they need, whether it's long-term, short-term, or something in-between, like respite care or urgent care for common illnesses, injury treatment, or preventive services, because they offer walk-in urgent care with online check-in, on-site lab testing, X-rays, and a full list of illness treatments from cold and flu to COVID-19 testing and care. You'll find private rooms, a beauty salon, a fitness center, and modern therapy equipment like SciFit, NuStep, and Synchrony, and meals are served in a restaurant-style dining room with an in-house cafe, which gives the place a comfortable feel, and there's also recreation, events, and a focus on keeping people active and involved in the community no matter their needs, whether they're in assisted living, the rehab unit, or staying for a short time. Dialysis treatment's streamlined for patients right on the property, and they're set up for both traditional nursing services and more progressive programs, aimed at helping folks recover or simply enjoy more comfort, with options for short stays, home care through Lorien at Home, and hospice support during hard times. For residents with Korean backgrounds, Lorien Columbia provides "한국 효도 요양원" Korean Senior Care, offering services in a culturally familiar setting, which is something a lot of people appreciate. The staff's available 24/7, and they always aim to deliver care that matches each person's medical, emotional, and day-to-day needs, using current technology and supportive programs, so whatever a person needs as they age, they're likely to find it covered, whether it's ongoing nursing, tailored rehab, memory care, or just a comfortable place with good meals, activities, and people to talk to, all tucked into a natural setting that offers a little peace and quiet while keeping up with modern medical standards.

- Memory care
- Skilled nursing
Compassionate staff, concerning medical lapses
I had a mixed experience. The building is clean, attractive and the rehab/therapy team and several nurses (Kena, Stephani, Ariana, Barbara) were compassionate and effective - activities, timely meds, and onsite services were definite pluses. However, chronic understaffing, rude/unempathetic caregivers at times, poor food/diabetic meal handling, delayed call-button responses, wound/medical lapses and safety/cleanliness concerns - with unresponsive corporate - left me worried. I'd only consider this for short-term rehab if the right staff are on duty; not for medically complex loved ones.
