Key Review Excerpts

My g'ma spent her last few days here. Thanks to staff, hospice and family, she laid peacefully before entering eternal rest.

When questioned on who it was I was told I needed to leave and that if I was so worried I should've came for her stuff earlier.

Lakeshore Rehabilitation Center has a concerning pattern of recurring deficiencies across all three surveys, particularly in food safety and fire safety systems. The facility has repeatedly struggled with proper food procurement and storage, smoke barriers, emergency exits, and resident rights regarding medication self-administration. While all violations were reportedly corrected, the persistence of similar issues across multiple years suggests ongoing challenges with maintaining consistent compliance standards.
