Where Care Meets Calling

At The Columbia Presbyterian Community, therapy is more than a service — it’s a shared mission. Our in-house therapy team is part of a larger faith-based nonprofit that believes in doing what’s right for residents and for the therapists who serve them.

We’ve built a model that values quality over quotas, collaboration over competition, and mentorship over micromanagement. Every day, you’ll see the results of your work — in resident progress, in team relationships, and in the stability of a culture that helps you grow.

Recognized For Excellence

Our team was recently recognized by U.S. News & World Report as one of the Best Nursing Homes for Short-Term Rehabilitation — a reflection of the exceptional outcomes achieved through PCSC’s in-house model and the commitment of our dedicated therapy professionals. See our U.S. News Rating  

This success is no accident. It’s the result of empowered clinicians who take pride in their craft and in the mission that guides their care.
