Our Story

About Us

Our Story

Azalea Health and Rehabilitation Center is conveniently located at Select Specialty and Walton Rehabilitation Hospitals. We also accept referrals from Augusta University Hospital and Piedmont Hospital. Working closely with Charlie Norwood Veterans Administration Hospital, we are proud to care for those who served our country in the United States military.

In addition to 24-hour skilled nursing services, we offer onsite physician/nurse practitioner services five days per week, with after-hours on-call services available seven days per week. Our dedicated physical, occupational, and speech rehabilitation staff are in-house and employees of the center.

We offer a host of amenities including spacious resident rooms, free salon services at our Esteem Salon, and a first-class dining experience. We are also proud of our outdoor covered patio space and other scenic outdoor spaces.

We are proud of our partnership with The Joint Commission. Achieving The Gold Seal of Approval from The Joint Commission is an internationally recognized mark of quality and a testament to the quality of care provided at our health center. We are also members of the American Health Care Association (AHCA) and Georgia Health Care Association (GHCA) which is further testimony to the exceptional team, care, and standards we've worked so hard to foster. Azalea Health and Rehabilitation Center has also earned a Bronze Quality Award from the AHCA further commemorating the experience and dedication of our team.

Founded with a vision to create buildings that offer a home-like environment, we go beyond the typical nursing home.

We Believe

People Determine the Potential

We believe that people determine the potential of our entire health care system and we focus on hiring great people. Our caregivers are people we would trust, people we enjoy working with, and people who can make us laugh or smile.

Relationships Determine the Morale

We forge strong relationships with our residents and their loved ones. In doing so, we ensure that morale is high during the wellness and recovery process, and when morale is high, a positive outcome is much more likely.

Vision Determines the Direction

Our entire interdisciplinary team shares a clear vision to guide our residents and their loved ones through every aspect of maintaining and improving functions.

Leadership Determines the Success

You can rely on strong leadership from our Executive Director through the multiple layers of our staff. Our team will lead the way to wellness and the best possible outcomes.

God Has Dominion

As a faith-based organization, we believe that God has dominion over all matters and that prayer is no small matter. Praying for our residents is an integral part of every care plan.

How Do We Establish a Specific Personalized Care Plan?

Your physician communicates medication and treatment orders at the time of your hospital discharge. These orders will be implemented to help provide continuity of care. Upon admission, the interdisciplinary team will work with you and your family to identify care needs, preferences, and goals for your stay. You are a valuable partner in the process. Within the first few days of your stay, you and your family will be invited to participate in a care planning conference to discuss needs, discharge planning, and progress toward goals. Our team is here to help.
