Overview

The Columns Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns about the facility's quality of care. They rank #164 out of 264 nursing homes in Louisiana, placing them in the bottom half of the state, although they are the only option available in Catahoula County. Unfortunately, the facility is worsening, with the number of issues increasing from 8 in 2024 to 12 in 2025. Staffing is a relative strength, with a 3 out of 5 rating and a turnover rate of 38%, which is better than the state average. However, there have been concerning incidents, such as medications being improperly stored, including loose pills and expired supplies, and a resident not having their call light within reach, which could leave them feeling insecure and unsupported.
