Entering our second century of
caring for the elderly of Cincinnati’s African-American
community; Lincoln Crawford is a combination of
two original homes for aged African-Americans. In
1881 John T. Crawford left his estate in College
Hill for the sole purpose of a "home for the
aged and worthy colored men." The Progressive
Benefit Society was established in 1919 as an institute
to care for black women in their declining years.
These two homes merged in 1973 as the Lincoln Avenue
and Crawford Home for the Aged. In 1995 Wesley Services
Organization acquired Lincoln Crawford.
Today Lincoln Crawford is a certified
100-bed skilled nursing facility with rehabilitation
and therapy services. Our staff continually rededicates
itself to our mission of service through state of
the art medical technology, in addition to social
interaction, pastoral support and religious services.
The only African-American not-for-profit nursing
home in Southwest Ohio, Lincoln Crawford is a Medicare/Medicaid
approved skilled nursing facility.
