I am very impressed with the friendly, caring attitudes of the staff. When I went in on a Sunday recently, one of the CNA's on the Memory Unit was taking time to curl one of the residents hair to get her ready for church service. Another lady showed me her hair that this CNA had taken time to fix...Thank you Emma for making the ladies feel special.

My mother has been here for the last 6 months and she has always received the best of care. Everyone is very positive, friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend Lawson Manor to anyone. The staff genuinely cares.

The smell hits you in the face as soon as you walk in. High turnover rates within the staff leading to poor quality of care. I would never take my loved one here or recommend this facility to anyone. The corporate company refuses to fix the problems here, treats their staff poorly. The corporate company's mentality is "heads in beds". Corporate puts profits over patient care.
