Is Laurel Lakes Rehabilitation and Wellness Center a good nursing home? Reviews, ratings and inspection record

CMS rates it 2 out of 5 stars overall, below the Pennsylvania average of 3.0. Inspectors issued 39 citations in the last three years. CMS imposed 1 penalty, including $211,205 in fines, in that time. For short-term rehab patients CMS rates quality 2 out of 5; for long-term residents, 5 out of 5. Those results differ a lot, so ask about the unit your family member would be on.

Paying for care at Laurel Lakes Rehabilitation and Wellness Center: Medicare and Medicaid

Laurel Lakes Rehabilitation and Wellness Center is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare Part A can cover a short skilled-nursing or rehab stay here after a qualifying hospital stay of at least three inpatient days (observation days don't count), for up to 100 days per benefit period. Medicaid can pay for long-term care for residents who meet Pennsylvania's income and asset rules. Being certified doesn't guarantee a Medicaid bed is open, so ask whether the home accepts residents whose Medicaid application is still pending.

In 2026 Medicare covers days 1–20 in full after the Part A deductible ($1,736 per benefit period); for days 21–100 you pay $217 a day; after day 100 you pay all costs. Medicare doesn't pay for long-term custodial care. Medicare's coverage rules.
