Overview of Colonial Manors of Columbus Community

Colonial Manors of Columbus Community is a 39-bed nursing home in Columbus Junction, Iowa, offering nursing and memory care services, and is operated by Dianne Bohling. A privately owned, community-founded facility in Louisa County, it has served the area since 1975 and accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. The campus expanded twice — first with independent living duplexes in 1998, then with the Colonial Estates addition in 2010.

CMS rates the facility 3 stars overall. Health Inspection performance is a relative strength, scoring 35.6% above the Iowa average, and total nurse staffing averages 4 hours and 29 minutes per resident per day — just above the state’s 4 hours and 25 minutes. Quality Measures is the drag on the overall rating, landing 71.1% below the Iowa average, a meaningful gap for families evaluating long-term clinical outcomes.

The inspection record carries more weight than the ratings. Across roughly a dozen surveys since 2020, the facility has averaged 11.4 deficiencies per year — 159% above Iowa’s average of 4.4. The 2024 annual inspection produced 11 citations covering care planning, MDS assessments, and drug regimen review.

The July 2025 annual survey substantiated an abuse allegation: a CNA was found to have handled a resident roughly during transfers, and the facility failed to properly report or investigate the incident. The facility reached substantial compliance in August 2025 after submitting a plan of correction. No federal fines appear in the past three years.

Colonial Manors is structured for long-term nursing care and memory care residents in Louisa County who prioritize a small-community setting and local continuity of care. Families evaluating long-term placement should weigh the facility’s above-average staffing hours and inspection rating against the deficiency rate and the 2025 abuse finding.

Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans.

LPN / LVN Info 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. 45m per day ▲ 33% State avg: 34m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility.
