Columbia Senior AdvisorHow many nursing homes are in the Columbia area, and how does CMS rate them?
DPH lists 28 licensed nursing homes in the six Midlands counties with 3,706 licensed beds; of the 27 CMS rates overall, 4 have five stars, 4 four, 4 three, 8 two and 7 one.

| Lexington County | 9 | 1082 |

What else is on each nursing home's page?
Each page reproduces CMS's ratings, latest inspection date and deficiency counts, staffing hours, turnover and fines (data as of October 1, 2026), sets them against the six-county median and adds any DPH enforcement order from the monthly reports.
Median total nurse staffing across the area's certified homes is 3.83 hours per resident per day and median nursing staff turnover is 45.8%. Licensed homes without a CMS match, such as the state veterans pavilions and recently renamed homes, appear in the roster without stars.
