Our read on Columbia Healthcare Center
Columbia Healthcare Center runs 171 certified beds on Evansville's east side, and the numbers on its federal record tell two different stories. Resident outcomes look strong, the quality measure rating sits at the top of CMS's scale, but staffing is where the gap shows: 3.04 nurse hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, weekend coverage that drops about 13% below its own weekday levels, and turnover at 53.1% versus 45.8% nationally. Inspections add weight. Thirty-five deficiencies on the current record, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a two-star health inspection rating from a September 2025 visit. No abuse citations, which matters. Corporate ownership, thin staffing, recent survey problems, worth asking hard questions before you decide.
