What Columbia Families Are Saying
We are honored to share these genuine experiences from the families who have found professional support and a true sense of belonging at Columbia Care Home.
Corporate facilities manage the masses.
We manage the individual.
"When families tour large facilities, they often see beautiful common spaces. What is harder to see is how individualized care becomes when dozens of residents require attention at the same time."
Columbia Care Home was founded by Bhargav Patel and Sheetal Khadsare, Doctors of Physical Therapy who spent years treating seniors in massive corporate facilities. They saw firsthand how difficult it was for large facilities to consistently provide individualized mobility supervision and behavioral support for residents with complex needs.
They built this 8-bed residential model to provide a radical alternative: a strict 1:3 caregiver ratio where clinical oversight is proactive, not reactive. Our care model focuses on proactive mobility routines, structured daily rhythms, and 24/7 overnight awake staff to support both physical and cognitive well-being.
Built for High-Acuity Needs
Many residential homes are designed for basic assistance. Because our home is led by Doctors of Physical Therapy, we are equipped to support seniors experiencing mobility decline, fall risk, and increasing care needs.
Complex Mobility
From 2-person transfers to severe fall-risk management, our staff is trained directly by Doctors of Physical Therapy to handle significant physical decline securely.
