Is Brookdale Lakeway SNF a good nursing home? Reviews, ratings and inspection record

CMS rates it 2 out of 5 stars overall, below the Texas average of 2.8. Inspectors issued 23 citations in the last three years. CMS imposed 2 penalties, including $91,420 in fines, in that time. For short-term rehab patients CMS rates quality 5 out of 5; for long-term residents, 1 out of 5. Those results differ a lot, so ask about the unit your family member would be on.
