Data insights

Quality ratings

On Care Compare (data as of April 2026), Crawford Care Center carries an overall CMS quality rating of 1 out of 5 stars. That figure rolls up three sub-ratings tracked separately: health inspection (2/5), staffing (1/5), and quality measures (4/5).

What each sub-rating measures

The staffing rating compares case-mix-adjusted nurse hours per resident day to national benchmarks, and quality measures aggregate 15 clinical indicators including pressure ulcers, falls with injury, and long-stay antipsychotic use.

Size and setting

Located in Saegertown, Pennsylvania, this facility operates 157 certified beds with an average daily census of roughly 121 residents - an occupancy rate of about 77%. The facility is classified under for profit - limited liability company ownership, a designation that can influence staffing patterns, reinvestment decisions, and admissions policy. At roughly 77% occupancy, this facility has meaningful open capacity relative to its certified bed count.

Same-ownership peers

Within Pennsylvania, Crawford Care Center is one of 146 for profit - limited liability company nursing homes CMS rates. Its 1-star overall rating sits below the for profit - limited liability company-segment average of 2.3 stars, ahead of roughly 0% of same-ownership peers in the state. Comparing a facility against its own ownership segment holds the business model roughly constant, which helps isolate facility-level performance from the staffing and reinvestment patterns that differ across for-profit, non-profit, and government operators.

Inspection record

On the regulatory side, federal and state surveyors have documented multiple deficiencies at this facility (41 total). CMS has levied 2 enforcement penalties - civil money penalties or denials of payment, during the same window. This is a high deficiency count relative to most facilities; requesting the full survey report directly is the only way to see whether these are concentrated in one area or spread across the facility's operations.

Where these figures come from

The figures above come directly from the U.S. Centers for Medicare \& Medicaid Services Nursing Home Compare dataset for federal quality ratings, combined with the CareScout 2025 Cost of Care Survey of more than 15,000 elder-care providers nationwide and U.S. Census American Community Survey income data. Cost figures are monthly medians, refreshed annually with each new CareScout release; quality ratings are refreshed quarterly from the CMS Provider Information File. Read these state and county medians as benchmarks, then verify current rates with individual providers and consult care managers before making placement decisions.
