Our read on Willow Creek Post Acute

Willow Creek Post Acute is a 20-bed for-profit home in Madras, and its record is more lopsided than the star ratings suggest. The inspection history looks clean on paper, a five-star health inspection rating, no abuse deficiencies, and a visit as recent as February 2026, but 17 total deficiencies sit on the current record, including one at the harm level. Where this home struggles is staffing and resident outcomes: both the staffing and quality measure ratings come in at one star out of five, well below what you'd want for a small facility where the same few aides cover every shift. The gap between that inspection score and everything else is worth asking about directly.

Written from the CMS figures for this home shown further down this page. Nothing here is paid for or supplied by the home.
