The ONLY thing that was great about Lawrence Rehab, for my husband's recent stay in the in patient rehab portion, was the PT and OT. The Speech Therapy was highly over charged to our insurance & my husband did not benefit from the few appts, whatsoever. Except for nurse Pierre & 2 if the auxiliary staff, he was not taken care of. He was a fall risk. Dr's continued him on collace, even though he had diarrhea several times a day. When he pressed the call button for help with toiletting, no one came to help him. He was getting up on his own, with severe vertigo, a concussion, an ongoing migraine, and no help to get to the bathroom. One day, he got up and he hit his head and threw side that he had trauma surgery on and fell into the ground. No one came to assist him in getting up. For the most part, the staff on the 4th floor did not respond to his buzzer. Did not give him his pain meds when he asked for them, since Drs took him off of regularly getting pain meds round the clock and made the pain meds as needed, as he asked for them. Except for the 3 hours a day that PT & OT took care of him, he was left in bed for 21 hours a day and all day Saturday and Sunday. I would like to answer the rest of the questions below, but the firm does not permit that: food was horrible except bagels & mac n cheese. Staff was rude & did not follow Dr's orders or one of the Director's orders to check on him frequently & help toilet him. The rooms are nice. I would never recommend a friend or relative there for anything except PT & OT staff. I DO NOT APPROVE YOU USING IT PRINTING MY NAME IN THIS REVIEW.
