These current public-data fields deserve follow-up with the facility and the official Medicare record. They are not a clinical risk score or a substitute for an in-person assessment.
Lakewood Nrsg & Rehab Center has a middle-range Medicare overall rating. Strengths include exceptional physical and speech therapy teams. Some reviewers note concerns about slow response to call lights and resident needs (mentioned by 6 reviewers). Review the health-inspection, staffing, and quality-measure components separately, then visit in person.
Families seeking rehabilitation services may find the physical and speech therapy departments to be a significant strength, with many reviewers praising their effectiveness. However, there are serious and recurring reports of neglect, specifically regarding unresponsive call lights, delayed hygiene care, and inadequate monitoring of skin integrity. While some long-term residents receive compassionate care, others have reported severe issues including untreated bedsores and inconsistent staffing.

Key Review Excerpts
“The staff does a great job, the therapists are amazing, especially the speech therapist. She is trying to learn Polish just so she can better communicate with my mom ❤️”
“My father is now fighting for his life due to a bedsore that he got at the facility during a rehab stint. The bedsore was a direct result of negligent care and leaving him in a soiled diaper.”
“This is the first time I have been able to breathe and feel confident my mother is getting the best care. I have experienced so much trauma with her previous homes and in trying to find a new residence.”
Total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmark, though RN coverage meets its reference level. Ask how aides are staffed for daily tasks such as bathing and mobility.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
