The facility holds an overall CMS star rating of 3 out of 5, which is in line with the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS star ratings are derived from three component categories: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures.

These three components are weighted and combined to produce the overall 3-star rating. Willow Creek Healthcare Center accepts both Medicare and Medicaid as forms of payment, making it accessible to a broad range of patients who rely on federal and state insurance programs. Individuals and families seeking placement at this facility are advised to contact the facility directly at (559) 323-6200 to inquire about current bed availability, private pay options, and any additional insurance arrangements that may be accepted. When compared against national averages, Willow Creek Healthcare Center presents a mixed profile. Its overall 3-star rating places it at the national midpoint. The 5-star quality measure rating is notably above the national average and suggests strong performance in documented clinical outcomes. However, the 2-star ratings in both health inspections and staffing fall below national averages, which may be relevant to those evaluating the full scope of facility performance. The health inspection rating reflects findings from standard state and federal inspection surveys conducted on a recurring basis. The staffing rating accounts for the hours of care provided per resident per day by licensed and certified staff. Taken together, these data points offer a reference framework for comparing this facility to others in California and across the country. All CMS ratings are updated periodically as new inspection and staffing data become available.
