  • $36,444 in federal fines

Our read on Ahc Of Lakewood, Llc

AHC Of Lakewood runs high on direct care hours, 5.36 per resident day against a national average near 3.86, and its last inspection in March 2026 came back clean enough to earn top marks for health and quality measures, with no deficiencies at the harm level and none tied to abuse. The catch is who's delivering that care and whether they stick around: turnover sits at 61.9% versus roughly 45.8% nationally, and weekends run about a fifth thinner than weekdays. Ten deficiencies and fifteen fines totaling $67,696 round out a record that's better than most but not spotless.
