Inspection Report Summary for Lawrence Rehabilitation Hospital

The most recent inspection on November 20, 2025, did not identify any deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed a range of deficiencies including medication documentation, food safety, infection control, staffing ratios, and life safety code issues such as fire sprinkler maintenance and emergency lighting. Complaint investigations mostly found staffing ratio issues, with some substantiated deficiencies related to insufficient Certified Nurse Aide coverage, though no enforcement actions or fines were listed in the available reports. Prior reports also noted challenges with resident care practices, environmental maintenance, and communication, but no immediate jeopardy or license actions were reported. The facility’s record suggests some ongoing areas for improvement, particularly in staffing and safety systems, but the absence of deficiencies in the latest report indicates progress.
