Altamaha Healthcare Center provides both short term rehabilitation and long term care services, focusing on delivering personalized care for every individual. The staff at Altamaha is dedicated to supporting residents in achieving their goals and maintaining the highest level of independence possible. Each resident receives a comprehensive plan of care tailored to their unique needs, which guides the resident’s journey whether the aim is to regain independence or to receive ongoing support.
The center’s team of nurses and therapists work closely to offer full-service rehabilitation through occupational, physical, and speech therapies. Understanding the challenge some residents face in accessing outside support services, Altamaha Healthcare Center brings these services directly on-site, ensuring convenience and continuity of care. Services such as E-Stim wound care, complex or multiple PIC line services, digital ultrasound and Doppler capabilities, cardiac monitoring, and telehealth psychological support are available to address complex medical needs without the stress of external appointments.
Recognizing the importance of holistic well-being, Altamaha Healthcare Center has high-speed internet throughout the building and provides cable television with a variety of channels, fostering comfort and connection. The robust activities program is designed to support residents’ social, mental, and physical well-being. Residents can leave daily chores behind, as all laundry services are managed by the staff, allowing them to focus on their interests and personal fulfillment.
At the heart of the facility's approach to engagement is the Pathways to Active Living (PALs) program, an experience crafted to enable residents to participate in life as fully and independently as possible. The PALs program takes into account the physical, emotional, mental, social, and spiritual aspects of each resident, believing that therapeutic recreation plays a vital role in achieving a balanced life and overall wellness at any age or ability. Recreation and leisure interests are encouraged and facilitated, supporting both health and quality of life.
A foundation of compassion, accountability, respect, integrity, nurture, and gratitude shapes the daily environment at Altamaha Healthcare Center. These values motivate the staff to care deeply for every resident, foster an atmosphere of honesty and strong principles, create a respectful community, and encourage growth among both residents and employees. The center is continually seeking dedicated individuals to join its team, maintaining a culture committed to excellence and the well-being of everyone who becomes a part of the Altamaha Healthcare Center community.
