I’m an administrator of a neighboring retirement home and we have had some of our residents go to Lakewood Healthcare for rehab. The care is excellent and their social services team is amazing. If you’re looking for skilled care or rehabilitation, I highly recommend Lakewood Healthcare!

My Dad is a resident there. And, I go to visit him regularly. I have gotten to know the staff really well. Fabiola and Alfredo at the front desk greeted me with big smiles. And, the nurses and CNAs like Natalie and Wilma are so attentive and patient with my Dad. Thank you, Everybody!!

First of all having a professional like Aaron at the front desk to greet you begins a great experience. My sister has been at Lakewood for three years and I have had very little to complain about. I would live there.

When I called the facility, it took a while until I reached the right person, but then I scheduled a tour of the facility for the next day. The lovely woman at the reception took me to the dining room and activity rooms that were filled with very attentive staff. There was lively music and many of the residents were smiling, singing and enjoying themselves. There was a lot of camaraderie and care between the many caretakers and the long term guests of Lakewood Healthcare. The rooms were clean and well appointed. A great place.
