History
Crestview Rehabilitation & Skilled Nursing Services is a leader in the field of sub-acute care for the Community of Lancaster and Fairfield County. Over 50 years family owned & operated by the Eckert family ~ Joann, Cindy, David & Cathy oversee daily operation of the 195 health care campus. The Administration building is right off the hallway leading from the therapy gymnasium beside the beautifully decorated chapel.
In the year 2004, The Therapy gym vision was brought into reality with 9,000 square foot, adding new physical, occupational, and speech therapy treatment rooms, a specialized in house pool for warm water aquatic therapy programs, hydro/tissue therapy room, out patient therapy space and private treatment rooms. Along with this vision a new chapel has been dedicated to the spiritual needs of the Residents. A new therapy reception lobby has been added for privacy and ease of access, and a business office conference room decked out in OSU tradition, truly state-of-the art!
Imagine back in 1958, if Mary Catherine Cook-(Founder) who provided care for 26 people, could find out that her daughter soon would welcome the building of a home with the capabilities to take care of 100 people. Then along with the help of her granddaughter's husband to double that care! Now, the great grandchildren focus their mutual passion that delivers the quality of care and life of a health care campus that responds to the needs of people.
