Columbia Manor Health & Rehabilitation sits at 2012 E Nifong Blvd in Columbia, Missouri, and offers a mix of care options, so folks who need nursing care, memory care for Alzheimer's or dementia, rehabilitation, or even home healthcare can all get help here, and usually you'll see about 37 residents here in a facility that's got 52 certified beds. The team at Columbia Manor focuses on being compassionate, and they try to build care plans that fit whatever each resident really needs, which can range from therapy for recovery, long-term support, counseling, beauty care, or even just a pleasant place to talk with someone in a comfortable common area or out in the landscaped garden areas. Staff are known to be patient and kind, and the facility's got a reputation for taking the time to nurture both physical and emotional well-being, plus there's a focus on making the meals both healthy and tasty.
Columbia Manor is affiliated with the University of Missouri's health network and keeps active ties with local hospital systems and skilled nursing partners, so there's often access to telehealth, emergency care, lab work, and regular visits from providers, which can make the transition from hospital to recovery smoother. They try to help with all the logistics too, like billing, insurance, financial assistance, and planning for what happens after a hospital stay, making things as straightforward as possible, and their website has easy ways for families to download brochures, send messages, and get in touch with local advisors who can give free advice on next steps. There's a network of partner facilities with names like Columbia Post-Acute, Lenior, The Bluffs, and TigerPlace, and you can find them through affiliated sites.
As for inspections, Columbia Manor does have a history you can review, with reports showing 26 deficiencies, including some noted for infection control and resident rights, as well as staffing turnover higher than the state average, and nurse staffing per resident a bit lower than the state numbers, but it's worth mentioning they keep updated on infection control protocols as federal regulations require. The facility's been recognized with several awards for senior living and activities, and there have been recent renovations to update rooms and shared spaces, aiming to make the atmosphere more inviting. Residents have choices in activities for both socializing and wellness-there's a strong emphasis on community engagement, and the surroundings are kept homelike and comfortable to help folks feel at ease and keep their independence as much as possible.
Columbia Manor is managed as a for-profit LLC and is part of Reach LTC, but it's also got ties to non-profit programs through its health partners, which gives it a broad network for both medical and nonmedical services, trying to reach people who are looking for anything from a senior apartment to advanced care for chronic conditions. While there aren't many public reviews right now, and the inspection reports are available for anyone who wants to look, the administration seems open to families sharing feedback and questions online, and they remain focused on helping residents and their families feel supported during what can be a hard and confusing part of life's journey.
