CRESTWOOD HEALTH AND REHABILITATION CENTER
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Crestwood Health and Rehabilitation Center has a Trust Grade of B, indicating it is a good option among nursing homes. It ranks #220 out of 1,168 facilities in Texas, placing it in the top half, and #4 out of 6 in Van Zandt County, meaning only one local facility is rated higher. The facility is improving, as it reduced the number of cited issues from 6 in 2023 to 2 in 2024. However, staffing is a concern with a low rating of 1 out of 5 stars and a high turnover rate of 67%, which is above the Texas average. There have been no fines, indicating compliance with regulations, and the coverage by registered nurses is average, which means residents may not receive the full benefits of RN oversight. On the downside, several recent incidents have raised concerns. For example, residents were not informed of their rights during their stay, which could negatively impact their quality of life. Additionally, there were issues with the accuracy of assessments for many residents, which could lead to them not receiving appropriate care. Lastly, one resident did not receive necessary grooming services, risking their personal hygiene and dignity. While there are strengths, such as the lack of fines and improved inspection results, families should weigh these concerns carefully when considering this facility.

What Should Families Ask When Visiting Crestwood Center?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "How do you ensure continuity of care given staff turnover, and what is your staff retention strategy?" "Can you walk me through typical staffing levels on day, evening, and night shifts?" "Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" "How do you handle medical emergencies, and what is your hospital transfer rate?" These questions are particularly relevant given the facility's high staff turnover rate and the below-average staffing rating.
Is Crestwood Center Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, CRESTWOOD HEALTH AND REHABILITATION CENTER has a clean safety record: no substantiated abuse findings (meaning no confirmed cases of resident harm), no Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death), and is not on the Special Focus Facility watch list (a federal program monitoring the lowest-performing 1% of nursing homes). The facility has a 4-star overall rating and ranks #1 of 100 nursing homes in Texas. While no facility is perfect, families should still ask about staff-to-resident ratios and recent inspection results during their visit.
Do Nurses at Crestwood Center Stick Around?
Staff turnover at CRESTWOOD HEALTH AND REHABILITATION CENTER is high. At 67%, the facility is 21 percentage points above the Texas average of 46%. High turnover means new staff may not know residents' individual needs, medications, or preferences. It can also be disorienting for residents, especially those with dementia who rely on familiar faces. Families should ask: What is causing the turnover? What retention programs are in place? How do you ensure care continuity during staff transitions?
Was Crestwood Center Ever Fined?
CRESTWOOD HEALTH AND REHABILITATION CENTER has no federal fines on record. CMS issues fines when nursing homes fail to meet care standards or don't correct problems found during inspections. The absence of fines suggests the facility has either maintained compliance or corrected any issues before penalties were assessed. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review recent inspection reports for the full picture.
Is Crestwood Center on Any Federal Watch List?
CRESTWOOD HEALTH AND REHABILITATION CENTER is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems. Not being on this list means the facility has avoided the pattern of deficiencies that triggers enhanced federal oversight. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
