Crestline Rehabilitation and Nursing Center sits at 327 W Main St in Crestline, Ohio, and has served the area for over 50 years as the only skilled nursing facility in the Village of Crestline, which matters for people who want care close to home, and folks will notice there are only 30 beds, including 2 private rooms and 12 semi-private rooms, so it doesn't feel overly big or crowded, and the staff speak English and provide round-the-clock supervision, a 24-hour call system, and help with daily living like medication, bathing, dressing, and transfers, plus there's all-day dining with a community dining room, restaurant-style meals, and special diet support for things like allergies or diabetes. Medicare and Medicaid are both accepted since the facility is a for-profit center and part of Consulate Health Care, and Medicare has rated Crestline Rehabilitation and Nursing Center 4 stars, which means it's well regarded, and in June 2025, 8 out of the 30 beds will be open, though right now they aren't taking new patients, but that can always change.
Anyone who's spent time here knows about the resident-led activities with group movies, arts and crafts, gardening, regular trips to local spots like Tim Hortons and McDonald's, community events, discussion groups, intergenerational programs, and visiting performers, and the staff really encourage daily social interaction and resident-owned activities, so no one just sits in their room all day if they don't want to. The facility has many helpful services, including move-in planning, housekeepers, laundry, and even dry cleaning, and there's a barber and salon, along with walking paths, garden and patio spots, and an arts and crafts room, plus a furnished environment that feels home-like, and all rooms have a telephone. The rehab gym stands out because Crestline focuses not just on long-term care but also short-term rehab after illness, injury, or surgery, with all the therapies-occupational, physical, and speech therapy-plus wound and respiratory care if needed. The therapists work closely with residents so recovery plans fit each person's needs, and there's both short-term rehab and long-term skilled care, including help for those who aren't able to walk on their own.
Families looking for help during illness can use the respite care service, and social services staff help residents and families with transitions, planning, special requests, and getting ready for discharge. Accommodations are possible for couples, so spouses can be together if both need care, and there's support for those who are chronically or terminally ill. Everything from the garden spots and movie nights to the nurse call system and intensive therapy services points to a facility that's committed to a safe, lively daily routine for older adults who need skilled nursing plus a comfortable, small community where folks can get better or enjoy time together if home isn't the best option anymore. The center is under new management and has an excellent survey history, so, though no place is perfect, Crestline Rehabilitation and Nursing Center offers skilled, attentive care in a smaller, community-focused space.
