Our read on Woodard Creek Health & Rehabilitation
Woodard Creek runs 152 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits barely above the national average, 3.89 hours per resident day against 3.86, while weekends drop roughly 12% below its own weekday levels. The bigger issue is who stays: annual turnover hits 71.8%, well above the 45.8% national figure, and CMS gives staffing just 2 of 5 stars. Its inspection record shows 77 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and 13 tied to abuse, with a $12,735 fine and a June 2025 inspection. Quality measures rate 4 of 5 stars, but that's the outlier here, not the pattern.
