All 5 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Lakewood,
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.
Concord Healthcare in Lakewood runs 120 beds under corporate ownership, and its 3.61 daily nurse staffing hours fall about 7% short of the national average of 3.86. Weekends get thinner still, roughly 10% below the home's own weekday coverage. What stands out is retention: 29.9% annual turnover against a national average of 45.8%, so the aides and nurses here tend to stay. Nine deficiencies sit on the current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated April 10, 2026. Quality measures score at the top of CMS's range, and health inspections sit one notch below that.
Harrogate Village runs about 3.99 nurse hours per resident each day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, though weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays or Sundays. The record shows 10 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was February 2026, so that picture is recent. Quality measures score 5 out of 5 and inspections 4 out of 5, while staffing sits at 3. The nonprofit corporation that owns it has kept serious problems off the record, which matters more than the raw count of minor findings.
Leisure Chateau runs 242 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are where your attention should go. Nurses provide 3.73 hours per resident per day, a bit under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 10% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover sits at 51.2%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means aides and nurses are cycling through fairly quickly.
The inspection record is more reassuring: 21 deficiencies, none at the harm level, and a recent survey from March 2026. One abuse-related citation is on the books, though, so ask about that directly.
Fountainview Care Center runs 123 beds in Lakewood, and its inspection record is the first thing to know: 18 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse. Ten fines totaling $48,186 back that up. The most recent inspection was in March 2025, so this isn't a stale record. Staffing sits at 3.38 hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average, and weekends run about 12% below its own weekday levels. Turnover at 42.6% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters less than the thin daily coverage. Quality measures rate well, but survey findings carry the weight here.
Atlantic Coast Rehab & Health runs 160 beds in Lakewood under for-profit LLC ownership, and its record shows two very different stories. The staffing side is mixed: 3.13 nurse hours per resident day sits about 19% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday levels, but turnover at 35.7% actually beats the national 45.8%, which suggests people who take jobs here tend to stay. The trouble is everything else. Inspectors have cited 20 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with a $101,112 fine on record and a February 2025 inspection that left the health and quality ratings at the bottom of the scale.
