How this home got 5 stars
The overall rating isn't an average. CMS starts from the inspection rating and nudges it at most two steps. Here is the arithmetic for this home, using CMS's own rules.
-
Health inspections
★★★★★starting point
Everything starts from what state inspectors found on site. This is a ranking against other homes in North Carolina.
-
Staffing
★★★★★no change
Only a 5-star staffing rating adds a star, and only a 1-star rating removes one. Ratings of 2 to 4 change nothing.
-
Quality measures
★★★★★no change
Same rule: 5 stars adds one, 1 star takes one away. These measures are mostly reported by the home itself.

Where it sits among North Carolina homes
White Oak of Waxhaw carries 0 inspection points, the cleanest record possible.
Inspectors' citations earn points by how serious and how widespread they were (the grid below). CMS then ranks every home in North Carolina: the 10% with the fewest points get 5 stars, the 20% with the most get 1 star, and the middle 70% split evenly into 2, 3 and 4.
- 5★ 0–4 pts
- 4★ 4–15 pts
- 3★ 15–35 pts
- 2★ 35–73.5 pts
- 1★ over 73.5 pts
Bars show every rated home in North Carolina by its weighted inspection score. CMS recalibrates the cut points monthly but holds a home's rating until its own score changes, so a home can sit just outside today's band.
