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.
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 59% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
Laurel Lakes Rehabilitation and Wellness Center receives highly polarized feedback, with many families praising the friendly, compassionate staff and effective rehab services, while others report serious concerns regarding neglect, hygiene, and communication. Recurring complaints highlight issues with facility cleanliness, including persistent odors, and significant delays in responding to basic patient needs like hygiene assistance. Prospective families should be aware of the inconsistency in care quality, as experiences appear to vary significantly depending on the specific wing or shift.

Key Review Excerpts
“The occupational and physical therapists are AWESOME, CARING, UNDERSTANDING, WONDERFUL!”
“Apparently a new nurse went into my mom’s room and gave her cup of apple juice. Thank god she is ok, but I think a nurse should know who is NPO or who is not.”
“The staff is great. Very caring and take very good care of the residents.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

Original nursing home datasets
EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
These are the 6 closest facilities in our data within 10 miles. Proximity does not mean they provide the same care type or have stronger quality signals, so compare each profile and verify services directly.
