Vancrest Health Care is an excellent nursing home for anyone who needs to recover from an incident or a place to get assistance at an older age. Deanna Brinkman has a bachelor’s degree in social work and furthers the education while working with her residents at this nursing home located in Van Wert, Ohio. She is one of three that works in social services and any further questions she can be reached at (419)-238-4646 Ext. 244.
