All 3 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Lawrenceville,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
Clover Meadows runs lean on nursing hours, 3.47 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 14% below its own weekday coverage. That pattern matters more than the annual number, since families tend to visit on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover sits at 36.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the staff who are there tend to stay. The inspection record shows 21 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related and worth asking about directly. A January 2025 inspection is recent enough to trust. For-profit LLC ownership. The quality measure score is perfect; the staffing score is average. Ask about weekend coverage before you decide.
The numbers at Lawrence Rehabilitation Hospital don't tell one story, they tell two. Nurse staffing runs 4.65 hours per resident day, roughly 20% above the national average, and turnover sits at 37% against a national 45.8%, which matters because stable staff learn residents' routines. Weekend coverage dips about 13% below weekday levels, so care can thin out when families visit. Then there's the inspection record: 38 deficiencies, including two tied to abuse, and a 1-star health inspection rating against a 5-star quality measure score. The last inspection was January 30, 2026. A for-profit LLC operating 56 beds, this home appears to invest in direct care while struggling with survey compliance.
The Meadows at Lawrence runs 180 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.66 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 8% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit.
The inspection record is the bigger concern: 32 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus a $17,345 fine. Staff turnover at 37.7% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, and quality measures rate well, but a recent September 2025 inspection and that harm-level finding are what you'd want to ask about directly before deciding.
