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.
