I have been here since April 2026. Rehab is very important and I feel that I received the best attention here at Lawrence in regards to my recovery. I want to thank personally, Greta and Rohema in rehab. I also like to thank Stefanie; Director of Customer Satisfaction for her kind and helpful nature to make my stay here very pleasant.

My Aunt stayed here and the care and attention they gave her was exceptional. The administrator himself would check on her daily and made her feel like a Queen. The place was clean, the food was decent (considering its a nursing home), and although we hope not to need it again, I’d recommend it to anyone needing help for a loved one or themselves.

Have been at this nursing facility for the past 5 years. The care here is wonderful and since administration has changed in the last 8 months; the changes in the facility have been immensely positive. Sabrina; my unit manager is exceptional with her care. Stefanie; the director of customer satisfaction is wonderful and caring and she always makes me feel comfortable and heard with any needs or concerns. Rachel, the administrator is a professional and exhibits care and has gone above and beyond with the care for the patients here. I am very happy here especially now and am looking forward to more changes so that Lawrence excels the way it deserves to.

My stay here was wonderful. The facility is well organized and maintained to the upmost standards. Administration is extremely accommodating and cares about the patients. Ruslana , the administrator is a very nice and caring person and she made me feel like family here.
