CMS Star Ratings

Health inspection
★★☆☆☆
Based on the last three years of on-site inspections and complaint investigations — the rating CMS weights most heavily.

★☆☆☆☆
Nurse and aide hours per resident per day, adjusted for how much care residents need, plus staff turnover.
Quality measures

Clinical outcomes CMS tracks, such as falls with injury, pressure ulcers and hospital readmissions.
Columbia Healthcare Center holds a 2-star overall rating, in the bottom two tiers CMS assigns. Nursing staff turnover of 53% is well above the Indiana average of 46%; high turnover is one of the strongest predictors of inconsistent care. None of this tells you whether a bed is open, whether your insurance is in network, or whether the facility will accept a given level of care — confirm those three directly with the facility before you commit.
