In early 2026, Eagle Creek Nursing Center was identified as Adams County’s largest nursing home, data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) show.
The facility offered 85 beds in total, exceeding the Adams County average by 15 beds for the same period. It cared for an average of 67.1 residents during the quarter.
The CMS awarded Eagle Creek Nursing Center an overall rating of 5 out of 5, outpacing the Ohio state average of 3.2 for nursing homes.
Adams County Manor was the second largest with 74 available beds, and Monarch Meadows Nursing and Rehabilitation followed with 50 beds.
As of the first quarter of 2026, Eagle Creek Nursing Center reported no fines or penalties.
There were three for-profit nursing homes operating in Adams County, Ohio, during this time.
U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate the older adult population in the United States is rising, while younger age groups are declining. Between 2020 and 2024, people age 65 and older increased by 13%, while the number of individuals under age 18 dropped by 1.7%. The nation’s older population has grown sharply since 1920, expanding from 4.9 million to more than 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 analysis estimates that almost half of adults in this age group—about 28 million people—may require long-term services and supports. The analysis also predicts over one-third could need care in a nursing home.
“Living a long life is something that many of us want and could get,” said Jesse Slome, executive director of the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance. “But when we live a long life, the chances of us needing long-term care increase exponentially. But when you need that type of care, there are limited options.”
