What this means for your family
Lawrence Presbyterian Manor is highly regarded for its compassionate staff and effective social work team, making it a strong candidate for families prioritizing emotional support and clear communication. However, because a few families have reported concerns regarding hygiene and responsiveness, we recommend conducting a tour during off-peak hours and asking specifically about their protocols for call-light response times and daily hygiene monitoring.

Key Review Excerpts
“The staff here was so good to her that she actually smiled and came out of her shell for them. When her health declined, the staff was on top of it and got her the help she needed and communicated with us every step of the way.”
“The skilled nursing floor was clean, as were all the patients that I saw in the hallways. There was no evidence of the usual chaos and noise that is found in many skilled nursing facilities.”
“Since moving to LPMMA, she is healthier and more active. She gets more supervision and medical care. We like the activities, food, and friendly care.”
