Nursing Homes in Columbia, South Carolina

With 333,497 people, Columbia, South Carolina is a fairly large metropolitan area. There are 12 nursing homes there, which provides you with plenty of options to choose from. The nursing homes here received a strong city grade of B. This city's city grade was a bit better than the city grade of nursing homes in the nearby city of Sumter. While the nursing homes in Sumter are not terrible, we found Columbia to be a better bet. Perhaps most importantly, this city ended up having 5 facilities that received elite grades. This provides even more first-class nursing homes than many higher rated cities can offer.

As mentioned above, this city received a great overall grade, but we especially wanted to emphasize that some of its nursing homes received virtually perfect health inspections the past few years. We gave Columbia an impressive grade of A- for this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively minor. In addition, Columbia received a B+ in our long-term care category. Wrapping up its quality report card, we gave the city favorable grades in our nursing and short-term care categories as well.
