Overview of Walnut Ridge

Walnut Ridge is a nursing home in Walnut Cove, NC, offering assisted living and memory care. Nursing home care provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock, while assisted living helps residents with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing and medication. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, and the range of care levels suits a resident whose needs grow over time.

The community has 63 beds, with studio and suite accommodations. Respite care is available for short stays, giving a family caregiver time to travel or recover. Navion Senior Solutions operates Walnut Ridge.

Total nurse staffing is 3 hours and 28 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily hands-on nurse staffing time associated with each resident. Payment options include Medicare, Medicaid and private pay: Medicare applies to covered skilled care, Medicaid may help when personal savings do not cover a long stay, and private pay uses the resident’s or family’s funds.

A Walk Score of 50 places the area in the somewhat walkable band, so some errands can be completed on foot. A resident who no longer drives may be able to handle certain nearby errands independently.

This profile shows two inspection records, and their totals often differ. Inspection History and the Inspection Scorecard below are state data — the figures the state publishes and the state inspection reports we hold on file — covering the entire facility. CMS Health Inspection History covers only this home's Medicare and Medicaid-certified nursing beds, from federal certification surveys.

The figures below cover inspections recorded between October 8, 2015 and June 19, 2025.

Inspection Scorecard This scorecard compares key inspection, deficiency, and complaint metrics at this facility against the North Carolina state average. Metrics rated ≥15% worse than average are highlighted in red; those ≥15% better are highlighted in green.

Overall vs. NC average

Deficiencies Deficiencies are formal regulatory issues recorded during state inspections.	This Facility	NC Average	vs. NC Avg

Deficiencies per inspection Average deficiencies per inspection.	1.5	2.7	This facility has 44% fewer deficiencies per inspection than a typical North Carolina nursing home (1.5 vs. NC avg 2.7).↓ 44% better

Inspections State inspections evaluate whether the facility meets health and safety standards.	This Facility	NC Average	vs. NC Avg
Total inspections Every inspection North Carolina recorded at this facility, over the period named above the scorecard.	15	14.0	This facility has had 7% more total inspections than the North Carolina average (15 vs. NC avg 14). More inspections can mean more regulatory scrutiny rather than worse care.↑ 7% more

Average Star Rating score North Carolina scores each annual inspection on a 100-point scale: points come off for citations and licensure actions and go back on when the facility corrects them, and extra points are earned for things like sprinklers or an active resident council. This is the facility's average across every rating the state has published for it; DHSR shows only the most recent one on its own site.	100.7	94.6	This facility has 6% more average star rating score than the North Carolina average (100.7 vs. NC avg 94.6).↑ 6% better

Revenue & profit

Staffing spend

Revenue, expenses and income What the home earned from resident care (net patient revenue), what it cost to run (operating expenses) and the difference between the two (net patient income), for each fiscal year it filed a CMS cost report.

Where revenue goes Both lines are a share of net patient revenue. Payroll share is what goes to salaries and wage-related benefits; operating margin is what is left after every operating cost (below 0%, resident care lost money). The dashed line is the North Carolina payroll average.
