The grounds and facility is nice as are the admissions staff, but that's where it ends. Nurses are rude and lazy. My mother-in-law was here for a few days for inpatient rehab following open heart surgery. First of all she's diabetic, so she needs a very specific diet, the did not give her a diabetic diet. After repeated requests they did not give her a diabetic diet, her blood sugar routinely got up to 500 and she needed way more insulin than normal just to function. Also due to the poor diet here, she developed a bowel obstruction. We never would've known except one of her daughters is a nurse, she recognized some of the symptoms and asked a nurse at the facility to check her. The nurse said it wasn't her job and walked off. So she tried the information desk to ask someone else and was again refused help. Since she herself is a nurse she went ahead and checked out my mother-in-law, who it turns out was bleeding, in a good deal of pain and in need of medical attention. When she asked the nurses to take my mother-in-law to the hospital they again refused and said a doctor would need to order that. So she asked them to call the doctor, which they also refused. So at this point her daughter grabbed the chart from the nurses desk, found out who the doctor was, called the doctor and explained the situation, he immediately ordered her to be sent to the hospital for treatment.
The staff then told us she would be going to Emory Midtown but not when. After repeated calls they continue to state that she's going to Emory Midtown but they don't know when, we heard this from more than one person. The frustration is building at this point and we get a call from mother-in-law letting us know she's at the hospital, but she's at Gwinnett Medical Center. LifeCare never called to correct the false information they had given us.
I can't in good conscience recommend this to my worst enemy, it's a wonder they're legally allowed to operate. Their negligence would've severely injured my mother-in-law had it not been for one of her quick thinking daughters.
Never again.

My wife was at Life Care Center of Lawrenceville. It was very clean, and it smelled nice, which is a big bonus for a nursing home. The care seemed to be adequate. It wasn’t outstanding. The food was good. It was very tasty.

I was admitted to this facility with C-Diff and therefore in isolation for over two weeks. The therapy was good even though it had to be done in the room. The nursing care for the most part was okay some better than others. It did take a long time to get anyone to come to my room when I used the buzzer. I feel that my care was not as good as it should have been because of the isolation. If I have to be in rehab for any reason in the future, I will not choose this facility.

My father stayed here and we were so disappointed. His medication was always late and the communication with the nurses/cna and the therapists were poor. Therapist usually do not change the patient before doing therapy but one was so nice to do it because she knew the CNAs would take a long time to come and change him. Also they lost most of all my father's clothes and it's been several weeks now and they have not reimbursed us. We we will be writing an official letter of complaint to the board..

I was at Life Care Center for my rehab, and I was pleased with them. The employees were respectful. The place was clean. The food was OK. They had other things to do there besides exercise. I was in a shared room, but it was large enough.

I had been to rehab at Life Care Center of Lawrenceville. My experience with them was great. The care was very good. Sanitation was not nearly as good as it could have been. The bathrooms weren't kept very clean. It definitely could use an upgrade in sanitation. Food was fine. Regarding accommodation, there were two people to a room, and it was very cramped and crowded.

My initial impression of this facility was very good. This was prior to both my parents becoming residents there. I am an Ordained minister and had the occasion to visit there for a member who was in the late stage of her life. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the facility and how well kept the grounds were. Unfortunately, the experience was much worse once my parents became residents there.Again, initially everything was fine until the health of my parents began to decline. My mother developed a stomach ulcer which caused her to vomit very frequently. As a result of all of the vomiting she became severely dehydrated. Her condition eventually deteriorated to the point where she couldn't eat. I was disappointed that the staff at the facility did not consider the condition of my mother holistically. They kept referring us to the fact that her vital signs were fine even though we kept encouraging them to admit Mom into the emergency room. Finally she was admitted and ended up staying in the hospital for two full weeks. She almost had to be put on a feeding tube. The doctors told us that we got our mother there just in time. I am disappointed that a place that looks so good on the outside, can have a few individuals working there who taint the image of the facility. I still think the facility writ large is a fine one but we were compelled to relocate our parents to another facility. Overall I think most of the staff are very capable. This is evidenced by the fact that very recently our mother asked to go back to visit just to say goodby to some of the staff there. Her own words were that most of the staff were very good to her.

I gave 1 star because was requiere but I will give 0 if I can, I was trying to obtain medical records for one of their resident for her long term care insurance and Latoya/the business office manager ( I don’t know how she get that far) was veeeery disrespectful and helpless when I was trying to follow up with my client, if you can’t get help to obtain récords I can imagine how the treat their resident.
Bad bad experience!

Mom and Dad are in a rehab place called Life Care Center of Lawrenceville. The room that they are in is a 2-bedroom basic with nothing special. It is like a hospital room that has two bedrooms, one bathroom, and two TVs. I'm not very impressed with it. I didn't like the lady's attitude over there. To me, it is just like a nursing home. They were short-staffed that one Sunday when we were there to see Dad. I do not like them at all. I didn't like their attitude.

My family member was a recent rehab resident at Life Care of Lawrenceville. The nursing staff and CNA's were exceptional. They attended to my mother's every need with efficiency and a smile. The rehab staff was amazing. By the time she left she was walking better than she has in years. Thanks to all the kind people at Life Care.

We used Life Care Center for my mother. It seemed to be a relatively fine facility. They had semi-private rooms, but not all of the rooms had a telephone access or a private phone line, so the patient would have to have a cellphone or something to that nature. That was a minor thing, though. They had an activity director who seemed to keep them very busy with good, different activities. I thought that was exceptional. Their work ethics were fine.

Though the facility is quite expensive, they have taken great care of my grandmother. Lifecare of Lawerenceville features some of the best staffing we encountered at nursing homes as well a very comfortable living arrangements. The nursing home is run like a well oiled machine yet it doesn't feel like some sort of alien place. It is clean and safe and my family couldn't be more satisfied with the quality.

I visited this facility
I was looking for a facility for my mother in the event she needed to move into a nursing home. My mother stayed in the rehabilitation center after a short hospital stay. Life Care was very clean. The staff was friendly with many activities provided for the residents. Activities included bingo and board games. There was also an ice cream parlor on the premises as well as a game room. The food seemed reasonably prepared although a little bland. They did have a good menu selection based on proper nutrition. Menu items included roasted chicken and vegetables as well as pot roast and potatoes. There were also occupational and physical therapists on site. The staff seemed very knowledgeable and competent. Therapeutic activities included activities to improve fine motor skills and activities to improve overall body movement such as the treadmill. My mother had Parkinson's so the staff worked to improve her overall balance. The outside of the facility as well kept. There was a nice garden area with lovely flowers which were well tended. Overall, we were impressed with the facility.
