Residents and their families have mixed perceptions of the care provided at PruittHealth - Lakehaven. Some reviews highlight positive aspects, such as the friendliness of the staff and the quality of rehabilitation programs. However, many reviews express significant concerns about sanitation, staffing levels, and the attention given to patient care. Issues such as delayed responses to medical needs, particularly pain management, and inadequate communication about critical health issues, including unreported COVID-19 cases, have been noted. Systemic understaffing and inadequate training reportedly impact the overall standards of care. Despite these challenges, the facility offers amenities like laundry/dry cleaning services and aims to support resident and family engagement through counseling programs. The facility’s management appears to be under scrutiny from some family members who have called for state investigations into its operations.
