Walnut Hills News

Walnut Hills Retirement Community in Walnut Creek was recently recognized as an “America’s Best Continuing Care Retirement Community” by Newsweek and as a “Best Nursing Home” by U.S. News & World Report.

The Newsweek ranking was based on national surveys of medical professionals and acquaintances of residents living in CCRCs and accreditation data. Walnut Hills was ranked #19 on the Ohio list of “Best CCRCs” and was in the top 250 in the United States.

The U.S. News ranking places the Walnut Hills Nursing Home in the top 19% of nursing homes in the country. Walnut Hills received a “high performing” rating in both short-term rehabilitation and long-term care. These ratings were based on data on resident care, safety, outcomes, nurse staffing, and success in preventing emergency room and hospital visits.

The two newest recognitions are in addition to a 5-star rating that Walnut Hills received from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

“These ratings are testaments to the dedication of our outstanding team to providing top-notch care and services for older adults and their families,” said David Maletich, Executive Director. “As a non-profit, faith-based organization, we are committed to serving our residents through our mission and values.”   

Walnut Hills Retirement Community is located at 4748 Olde Pump Street in Walnut Creek and is an affiliate of Greencroft Communities of Goshen, Indiana. The scenic 110-acre campus is home to more than 200 residents in a variety of living options, including independent living, catered living, assisted living, skilled nursing care, and short-term rehabilitation.
