Columbia Healthcare Center sits on West Columbia Street in Evansville, Indiana’s Jacobsville neighborhood, about a mile from the city center. The facility is operated by Health and Hospital Corporation of Marion County. Andrea Beran is the administrator; Cindy Bartels is Director of Nursing. At 27 years in operation, the center has a long enough history in the community to have developed a consistent care model.
The facility has 171 beds and is currently at 68% occupancy. The average length of stay is 117 days, which reflects a population that includes both short-term rehabilitation residents and longer-stay residents receiving ongoing care. The care mix is broad: nursing home care, memory care, hospice, palliative care, and respite services are all offered under one roof. That range is practically useful for families anticipating care transitions.
Total nursing hours run 2 hours and 33 minutes per resident per day, with registered nurses and licensed practical nurses each contributing 27 minutes of that time. Physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, and respiratory therapy are staffed on-site. A Resident Council is active. The facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.
Inspections by the Indiana Department of Health, Division of Long Term Care have historically centered on medication management, care planning and documentation, and fall and injury prevention. The Walk Score is 64, placing the surrounding area in moderately walkable territory for visitors and staff.
For families looking at a large, long-established nursing facility in Evansville with a wide care spectrum and all three major payment pathways, Columbia Healthcare Center covers those bases, though the staffing figures and inspection focus areas are worth reviewing alongside the facility’s overall profile.
