Jerry Smith (President & CEO), formed Crystal Care Centers in 1992. Jerry has been a licensed Nursing Home Administrator since 1979. During his tenure, he has served as Administrator, Consultant, and Regional V.P. with major national companies. After becoming disenchanted with the philosophy of corporate management, Jerry made the decision to form his own company where he would put the residents first. Crystal Care Center of Mansfield was purchased in January 1993, followed by Crystal Care Center of Portsmouth in March of 1993 and Crystal Care Center of Ashland in 2002. His wife Susan, daughters Kyann, Mindy and Jennifer along with “Butch”& Tony Clark, Kim Nye and Kathy Kolesar are all active shareholders.

Currently, the Crystal Care family collectively employs over 300 personnel including doctors, nurses and other professionals and support staff. Our Clients and Staff remain the focus of the Smith’s attention, as was the goal from the beginning!
