Our read on Oak Crest

Oak Crest is a small nonprofit home in DeKalb, just 17 certified beds, which is unusual in a county full of larger operations. Its last full inspection came in September 2024 and turned up seven deficiencies, none of which rose to the level of harm or jeopardy, and there's no abuse history on the record. Quality measures and health inspection results both sit at four out of five stars, putting it a notch above the middle of the pack on the federal measures. For a family weighing a move, the picture here is a modest-sized home with a clean harm record and recent state scrutiny, rather than one with documented serious problems or a spotless file.

Written from the CMS figures for this home shown further down this page. Nothing here is paid for or supplied by the home.
