Compare Providers

Two or three providers side by side, across the public record: licensing, ratings, inspections, penalties, staffing, ownership, and what care costs locally. Where no agency publishes a figure for a kind of provider, the cell says so rather than sitting empty next to a number and reading like a low score.

Creative Center, The vs. Chances Learning Center

Care types

What each provider is licensed or certified to deliver. Different care types answer to different regulators, which is why the rows below are not always comparable.

Creative Center, The

Adult Day Care

Chances Learning Center

Adult Day Care

Licensed capacity

Beds or units on the license. A capacity, not an occupancy.

Creative Center, The

115 beds or units

Chances Learning Center

36 beds or units

License status

The status word the state registry uses, reproduced exactly. We do not translate or grade it.

Creative Center, The

LICENSED

Issued by California · License 547203430

Chances Learning Center

LICENSED

Issued by California · License 547209055

Published rating

Whatever the publishing regulator published, on the scale the regulator used. Nothing here is rescaled to five stars.

Not a like-for-like comparison. We hold no published rating for either of these providers, and cannot yet say whether that means there is nothing to report or a file we have not read. Nothing here should be read as a difference between them.

Creative Center, The

Not established

No published quality rating for this provider yet. Not every care type or state publishes a star rating. This is not necessarily a red flag.

Chances Learning Center

Not established

No published quality rating for this provider yet. Not every care type or state publishes a star rating. This is not necessarily a red flag.

Inspection citations

How many citations are on record, and how recent the newest one is.

Not a like-for-like comparison. We hold no inspection citations for either of these providers, and cannot yet say whether that means there is nothing to report or a file we have not read. Nothing here should be read as a difference between them.

Creative Center, The

Not established

No inspection records are in our data yet. That can mean a clean record, or that this provider's inspection history has not been ingested. Verify directly with the state licensing agency above before assuming either.

Chances Learning Center

Not established

No inspection records are in our data yet. That can mean a clean record, or that this provider's inspection history has not been ingested. Verify directly with the state licensing agency above before assuming either.

Fines and payment denials

Enforcement actions on record, with the total fine amount where the source publishes one.

Not a like-for-like comparison. We hold no fines and payment denials for either of these providers, and cannot yet say whether that means there is nothing to report or a file we have not read. Nothing here should be read as a difference between them.

Creative Center, The

Not established

No fines or enforcement actions from the state licensing agency are in our data for this provider yet.

Chances Learning Center

Not established

No fines or enforcement actions from the state licensing agency are in our data for this provider yet.

Nurse staffing hours

Payroll-based nurse hours per resident per day, against the median for the same state.

Not a like-for-like comparison. No public system publishes nurse staffing hours for either of these providers, so there is nothing to compare here for either one.

Creative Center, The

Not comparable

Staffing hours are published for nursing homes and for no other kind of provider. Federal law requires Medicare- and Medicaid-certified nursing homes to file payroll-based nurse hours with CMS every quarter, and no agency collects the same return from adult day centers.

Chances Learning Center

Not comparable

Staffing hours are published for nursing homes and for no other kind of provider. Federal law requires Medicare- and Medicaid-certified nursing homes to file payroll-based nurse hours with CMS every quarter, and no agency collects the same return from adult day centers.

Ownership and chain

Who owns the provider, and who runs it when those are different companies.

Not a like-for-like comparison. We hold no ownership and chain for either of these providers, and cannot yet say whether that means there is nothing to report or a file we have not read. Nothing here should be read as a difference between them.

Creative Center, The

Not established

Ownership information not yet on file.

Chances Learning Center

Not established

Ownership information not yet on file.

Typical local cost

The published monthly median for this care type in this provider's city. A market figure, never a price quoted by this provider.

Creative Center, The

$2,010/mo

Typical for this care type in Visalia, CA, not a price from this provider

Chances Learning Center

$2,010/mo

Typical for this care type in Visalia, CA, not a price from this provider

Reading the blanks

A blank cell on this page is never just missing. It is one of three claims, and they mean very different things.

None on record.
We hold the whole published file for this measure and this provider is not in it. A real zero, and a finding in its own right.
Not comparable.
No agency publishes this measure for this kind of provider, so no provider of its kind has one. Shown hatched, because it is not a score at all.
Not established.
We cannot yet say whether the silence means a clean record or a file we have not read. We would rather tell you that than guess.
