When compared to national benchmarks, Walnut Ridge presents a mixed profile across its rated categories. The overall rating of 5 stars is notably above the national average of 3.0 stars. The staffing rating of 5 stars similarly exceeds the national norm, while the health inspection rating of 4 stars also surpasses the average. The quality measure rating of 2 stars, however, falls below the national average, indicating that clinical outcome measures in this category are lower than what is typically observed at facilities nationwide.
