No Medicare penalties on record
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. The latest standard survey recorded 23 findings, above the NJ average of 8.5. 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.
Families can expect highly skilled and compassionate therapy teams, with many reviewers specifically praising the physical, occupational, and speech therapists for their role in patient recovery. While the facility is noted for being clean and undergoing recent updates, some visitors have noted challenges with parking and occasional inconsistencies in nursing responsiveness due to staffing levels.

Key Review Excerpts
“The therapy team was outstanding, focused, encouraging, and clearly invested in his progress. Nursing and support staff were attentive, responsive, and treated him with genuine kindness and respect every day.”
“I can’t say enough good things about my experience at Lawrence Rehabilitation Center. After suffering a traumatic injury from a gunshot that led to a brachial plexus injury and significant atrophy in the lower part of my body, I was in one of the most difficult periods of my life—physically and mentally. From the very beginning, my inpatient therapists, CJ and Brittany, treated me with a level of care, patience, and humanity that I’ll never forget.”
“The physical building is older but updated and super clean. We are thankful for Lawrence Rehabilitation”

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.
