How to read WALNUT CREEK NURSING CENTER's star rating
The CMS overall star rating for WALNUT CREEK NURSING CENTER is a composite of three separately measured domains: health inspection results from state survey teams, staffing levels reported through payroll-based journal data, and clinical quality measures drawn from resident assessments and Medicare claims. A 2-star overall rating means WALNUT CREEK NURSING CENTER scores below most rated providers nationally. A low overall rating is most often driven by health inspection findings, which carry the heaviest weight in the CMS formula.
For WALNUT CREEK NURSING CENTER, CMS currently publishes 1 out of 5 for health inspections, 1 out of 5 for staffing, 5 out of 5 for quality measures. Health inspection scores are graded on a curve within each state, so this facility's inspection score is a ranking against other Ohio providers rather than an absolute measure. Staffing scores reflect reported nurse hours per resident day, and quality-measure scores reflect resident outcomes such as falls, pressure ulcers and hospital readmissions.
In local context: 5 rated facilities in Kettering average 2.8 out of 5, and the Ohio average is 3.2. WALNUT CREEK NURSING CENTER rates 2 out of 5, below that benchmark. Comparing a facility against its own local market matters because inspection severity, Medicaid reimbursement rates and staffing supply all vary sharply by state.
What WALNUT CREEK NURSING CENTER's inspection record shows
No deficiency citations for WALNUT CREEK NURSING CENTER appear in the CMS extract this page is built from. That reflects the records CMS has published for this provider, not an inspection performed by Clear Care Connect, and the federal extract can lag a state survey by several months.
Before you rely on a clean record, ask WALNUT CREEK NURSING CENTER for the date of its most recent standard survey and for its current CMS Form 2567. Also ask the Ohio survey agency whether any complaint investigations are open, as complaint surveys are logged separately from the standard annual survey cycle.
