The Laurels of Worthington

A Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation Center

Located just north of historic downtown Worthington, Ohio, The Laurels of Worthington is a 100-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation center offering a friendly, comfortable living environment and some of the most comprehensive health care programs in greater Columbus.

We tailor our short-term respite, rehabilitation, and hospice care to the specific needs of each individual.  We fashion a unique care plan for each rehab guest that speeds the journey from hospital to home.

The Laurels of Worthington is widely known for the long-term care and rehab we offer guests in our secured Alzheimer’s and dementia unit.

Short-Term Nursing and Rehabilitation

The Laurels of Worthington provides a complete range of services for patients that are unable to return home after a hospitalization. Our programs provide a safe transition from hospital to home with a depth of services that typically can not be provided through home health care or by family members. We help our guests achieve their highest possible level of physical, social and emotional independence while recovering in our home-like environment. The Laurels of Worthington has assembled an experienced and caring team of clinicians that develop individualized plans of care that allow our guests to return home sooner, safer and stronger.

The Laurels of Worthington cares for individuals with a wide variety of illnesses or injuries. Our short-term stay programs offer comprehensive care in the following areas:

• Orthopedic Rehabilitation Program
• Neuro Rehabilitation Program
• Cardiac Recovery Program
• Infection Resolution Program
• Wound Healing & Wound Prevention Program

Medicare, Medicare Advantage plans and most health insurance plans cover short-term skilled stays following a hospitalization of three days or more.

Extended Stays and Long-Term Care

Extended and long-term care stays are appropriate for individuals that require greater levels of care and support than can be provided at home or within an independent living setting. Laurels guests typically need assistance with their daily activities due to physical and/or cognitive limitations.

At The Laurels of Worthington, our guests receive around-the-clock nursing care, nutritious and appetizing meals, and a broad variety of recreation and leisure opportunities. Our goal is for our guests to achieve their highest possible level of independence and quality of life within a comfortable living environment. We refer to this as the Laurel Way of Caring.
