Columbia Health Care Center in Wyocena is county-owned, and the numbers back up what that stability tends to buy. Nurses provide about 4.71 hours of care per resident each day, roughly 22 percent more than the national average, and staff turnover sits at 21.3 percent against a national figure near 46 percent, so the people caring for your relative are likely to still be there next year. Weekend coverage dips only slightly below weekday levels, which matters because that's where shortfalls usually hide. One deficiency on the current record, none involving harm or abuse, and an inspection from April 2026.

Dove Healthcare - Lodi runs 50 beds in Columbia County under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are the strongest part of the picture, 4.26 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average. That staffing edge is real, though it thins out on weekends, which run about 12% lighter than weekdays.
What tempers it is turnover: 62.1% of staff leaving annually against a national average near 46%. The inspection record shows 22 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus a $14,433 fine. A February 2026 inspection is recent, so the record reflects current conditions rather than an old visit.

Columbus Health And Rehab runs 50 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers tell a mixed story.

Turnover is 47.8%, a couple points above the national 45.8%. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 22 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. CMS rates health inspections and quality measures 2 out of 5, staffing 3 out of 5, with the most recent inspection in May 2026.
