Americare accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.
Americare operates a 79-bed nursing facility in Columbia, Missouri. This non-profit community focuses on short-term post-acute rehabilitation and extended skilled nursing care, with residents staying for an average of 93 days. The campus coordinates adult day care, home health services, physical therapy, and short-term respite stays under a single care plan.
Residents receive a substantial amount of daily attention, averaging 4 hours and 18 minutes of direct nursing care per day. This hands-on schedule includes 2 hours and 24 minutes from certified nurse aides, 52 minutes from licensed practical nurses, and 44 minutes of direct medical oversight from registered nurses. Financial pathways are flexible, as the community accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and standard private payments. Demand for placement is high, with the facility running at an average occupancy rate of nearly 99 percent.
The surrounding Columbia area carries a walkability score of 46 out of 100, which reflects a somewhat car-dependent layout. While a few basic errands might be manageable on foot, visiting families and staff will generally need a vehicle for standard travel. On-site community perks include a private library, a family visitation lounge, an outdoor courtyard, a beauty salon, and dedicated wellness programs.
Families can reach the community’s team directly to ask about current room vacancies, talk through your specific insurance coverage, or figure out the best timing for a visit to the campus.
Quality ratings
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.

Standout metric
Registered Nurse (RN) is +61% above state avg
| Staff type | Hours / Day / Resident | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.
| 44m per day | ▲ 61% State avg: 28m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
| 52m per day | ▲ 27% State avg: 41m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
| 2h 24m per day | ▲ 4% State avg: 2h 19m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day |
|
Weekend Total Nursing
Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.
| 3h 11m per day | ▲ 4% State avg: 3h 3m per day · National avg: 3h 27m per day |
|
Physical Therapist
Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.
| 3m per day | ▼ 6% State avg: 3m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
Weekend RN
Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.
| 29m per day | ▲ 44% State avg: 20m per day · National avg: 29m per day |
