Crestwood Care Center
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Crestwood Care Center has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns with the quality of care provided. Ranked #856 out of 913 facilities in Ohio, this places them in the bottom half, and at #8 out of 10 in Richland County, only one local option ranks lower. While the facility's trend is improving-issues decreased from 25 in 2024 to 16 in 2025-the overall situation remains troubling, with 77 deficiencies found, including four critical incidents related to inadequate supervision and medication errors. Staffing is rated below average at 2 out of 5 stars, with a turnover rate of 52%, which is average for Ohio, but they have less RN coverage than 91% of state facilities, potentially affecting resident care. Additionally, the facility faces concerning fines totaling $232,204, indicating repeated compliance problems, and specific incidents reveal serious issues, such as a resident being pushed to the floor during an altercation due to a lack of supervision and staff failing to administer medications as ordered.

- Getting Better
- Staff Stability ⚠ Watch
- 52% turnover. Above average. Higher turnover means staff may not know residents' routines.
- Penalties ✓ Good
- $232,204 in fines. Lower than most Ohio facilities. Relatively clean record.
- Skilled Nurses ⚠ Watch
- Each resident gets only 20 minutes of Registered Nurse (RN) attention daily — below average for Ohio. Fewer RN minutes means fewer trained eyes watching for problems.
- Violations ⚠ Watch
- 77 deficiencies on record. Higher than average. Multiple issues found across inspections.
