I had a very pleasant stay at the cottage #2 for nearly 3 weeks. Most of the staff here are very warm and supportive. I consider myself fortunate to rehab here. To enjoy Sara cooking from scratch is something I look forward to. Sara Lee, Astrid , Dawn, Hana, Anna are blessings to residents. PT Steve, Coby , OT Thena, ST Archie are wonderful to work with and help me to recover. Please take care of them
The Meadows At Lawrence is truly a beautiful place, with a warm and inviting setting that feels comfortable from the moment you walk in. The staff is incredibly attentive, always going above and beyond to make sure the residents feel cared for and supported. Annar stands out in particular for her kindness and genuine compassion. She is so loving toward her patients,, and it really shows in the way she connects with them and makes them feel at ease.
The Meadows at Lawrence provides a welcoming and supportive environment for patients and residents. The staff members are kind, attentive, and genuinely care about the people they work with. They go out of their way to make sure everyone feels comfortable and respected, which really makes a difference during recovery or long-term care. The facility is clean, well maintained, and has a calm atmosphere that helps people feel at ease. The nurses and support staff were always helpful and responsive whenever something was needed. It’s clear that the team works hard to provide quality care and a positive experience for everyone there. I would definitely recommend The Meadows at Lawrence to anyone looking for a place where patients are treated with professionalism, compassion, and respect.
After my mom completed rehab at Lawrence Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center, we moved her to their sister community, The Meadows at Lawrence, and we couldn’t be happier with the decision. The setting is absolutely beautiful. The campus truly sits in a peaceful meadow and has almost a private chateau feel to it, which made the transition feel much more like moving into a comfortable residence than a facility. The amenities are top notch and the dining areas are bright, elegant, and welcoming. My mom especially enjoys the activities program. There’s always something going on, and the staff really make an effort to engage residents in ways that keep them social and active. What impressed us most is how kind and attentive the staff are. The caregiver to resident ratios feel very strong, and it shows in the amount of attention and patience residents receive. We’re very grateful for the care my mom is receiving and highly recommend The Meadows at Lawrence to families looking for a beautiful setting with compassionate staff and a strong sense of community.
