Size and setting

Located in Columbus, Kansas, this facility operates 45 certified beds with an average daily census of roughly 29 residents - an occupancy rate of about 64%. The facility is classified under for profit - corporation ownership, a designation that can influence staffing patterns, reinvestment decisions, and admissions policy. At roughly 64% occupancy, this facility has meaningful open capacity relative to its certified bed count.

Same-ownership peers

Within Kansas, Medicalodges Columbus is one of 86 for profit - corporation nursing homes CMS rates. Its 3-star overall rating sits above the for profit - corporation-segment average of 3.0 stars, ahead of roughly 38% of same-ownership peers in the state. Comparing a facility against its own ownership segment holds the business model roughly constant, which helps isolate facility-level performance from the staffing and reinvestment patterns that differ across for-profit, non-profit, and government operators.
