No Medicare penalties on record
Wilshire at Lakewood Rehab Center has a middle-range Medicare overall rating. Strengths include effective physical and occupational therapy programs. Some reviewers note concerns about significant delays in responding to call lights (mentioned by 7 reviewers). Review the health-inspection, staffing, and quality-measure components separately, then visit in person.
Wilshire at Lakewood presents a highly polarized environment, with recent reviews oscillating between high praise for the facility's aesthetic improvements and staff attentiveness, and severe allegations of neglect. While many families report successful rehab outcomes and a welcoming atmosphere, a significant number of reviewers cite critical failures in basic care, including long response times for call lights, poor hygiene, and medication management issues. Families considering this facility should be aware of these conflicting experiences and conduct a thorough, in-person tour.
