The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) assigns star ratings to nursing facilities based on health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. Columbia Healthcare Center holds an overall CMS rating of 3 stars, which aligns with the national average of 3.0 stars. This overall rating is derived from three component scores. The health inspection rating stands at 3 stars, reflecting a performance level consistent with the national average based on recent inspection findings and deficiency records.

Columbia Healthcare Center accepts both Medicare and Medicaid as payment sources, making it accessible to residents who rely on federal insurance programs for their care. Individuals and families considering this facility should confirm current bed availability, specific program participation, and any applicable out-of-pocket costs directly with the facility by contacting the administrative office at (812) 428-5678. When viewed in the context of national benchmarks, Columbia Healthcare Center presents a mixed profile across the three CMS rating components. Its overall 3-star rating places it at the national average, but the individual components reflect notable variation. The 5-star quality measure rating is a meaningful distinction, as it represents the top tier of clinical outcome reporting among certified nursing facilities nationwide. The 1-star staffing rating, however, is the lowest possible score and may be a relevant consideration for those evaluating the facility. The health inspection rating of 3 stars is consistent with facilities performing at or near the national midpoint.
