Crestview Health & Rehab Center sits at 2800 Springdale Rd, SW in Atlanta, GA, and has served the healthcare and rehab community for over 35 years, with a building updated in 2016 by Knight Architects, and, although it's a place with a long history, the work they had to do was pretty serious because they took an old, sixty-year-old structure that was breaking down and tried to make it stronger and more comfortable, doing a lot of detailed surveys and fixes to keep the place safe, and you'll find inside there's about 13,107 square feet of space holding 388 beds, though the D Wing on the first floor got special remodeling care with 37 patient beds spread over 14 rooms, while a separate floor focuses only on short-term rehab, and, for those who need a step between hospital and home, they've got 26 sub-acute beds and treatment for things like recovery after surgeries or major illness, plus services for patients who've spent at least three days at Grady Memorial Hospital, since Grady Memorial Hospital Corporation has managed the place since 2008.
Every day, an average of 292 people stay there, and the staff provides around-the-clock care, including occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech therapy, IV treatments, wound care, and help with walking, daily chores, or building up strength, and they've got two therapy gyms and a dining area for meals, plus the building has wheelchair access, restrooms, and parking, and folks can come visit from 8 AM to 8 PM. Crestview also deals with several health problems, such as cancer, HIV/AIDS, arthritis, weight loss, bone and soft tissue issues, ear, nose, and throat disorders, and support for mental health, alcohol, and chemical dependency, and has some special programs for women and infants, pulmonary rehab, cancer education, and childbirth classes.
Crestview holds accreditations from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities and the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, but like any longtime place, it's had some trouble too, including reports in recent inspections where it didn't always meet standards for infection control or fully protect residents' rights, such as cases involving potential harm from abuse or neglect, with twelve deficiencies found overall-two for infection risk-and the nurse staffing level runs just below the Georgia state average at 3.42 nurse hours per resident daily. The center has a lot of support services, like home health aides, outpatient care, and wellness programs, and tries to help people move from hospital stays toward more independent lives, but some inspection reports have pointed out important things to watch for regarding resident safety and infection prevention.
