My family and I have had a great experience with the team at Meadows at Lawrence. They have provided amazing service and a unique home-like setting for our loved one. House 8 staff are great, shout out to Patsy, Muriel, Judith and Flo, who all are loving and caring to our beloved mom.

I had a very pleasant stay at the cottage #2 for nearly 3 weeks. Most of the staff here are very warm and supportive. I consider myself fortunate to rehab here. To enjoy Sara cooking from scratch is something I look forward to. Sara Lee, Astrid , Dawn, Hana, Anna are blessings to residents. PT Steve, Coby , OT Thena, ST Archie are wonderful to work with and help me to recover. Please take care of them
