Our read on Lakewood Post Acute And Rehabilitation

Lakewood Post Acute runs nurse staffing at 6.95 hours per resident day, roughly 80% above the national average, and that shows up in its four-out-of-five staffing rating. Weekend coverage drops about 17% below weekday levels, though, so care may thin out on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 44.7%, essentially in line with the national rate. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 33 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, plus a $32,513 fine and a two-out-of-five health inspection rating, with the most recent inspection in March 2025. The strong quality measure score of five out of five doesn't cancel that out, it reflects clinical metrics, not how the building is run day to day.
