Crestwood Treatment Center runs on numbers that mostly hold up. Nurse staffing sits at 5.05 hours per resident day, roughly a third above the national average, and the 12.3% turnover rate is far below the typical 45.8%, that kind of stability usually means consistent caregivers who know the residents. Weekend coverage dips about 14% against weekdays, worth asking about. The current record shows 11 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. A February 2025 inspection means the findings are recent rather than stale. With a 4/5 on health inspections and 5/5 on quality measures, the picture is of a corporate-owned home in Fremont that performs well above average on most measures, with a single abuse citation to look into directly.
