Our read on Lakewood A Continuing Care Center
Lakewood runs a for-profit operation with 105 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.93 hours per resident day, just a hair above the national figure of 3.86. That thin margin matters less when you see weekends run about 9% leaner than weekdays, so coverage isn't steady across the week. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 51 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. State inspectors were last in on December 11, 2025, and the health inspection and quality measure ratings both land at 2 out of 5 stars. If you're weighing this one, ask specifically how weekend coverage and the abuse-related findings have been addressed since that visit.
