Life Care Center of Lawrenceville operates as a skilled nursing facility that concentrates on clinical care and rehabilitation. Around-the-clock licensed nursing staff manage routine care, medication administration and monitoring of chronic conditions. The center accepts residents for respite stays and short-term rehabilitation following surgery, illness or injury, drawing on physical, occupational and speech therapy teams. A pulmonary rehabilitation program is in place for individuals recovering from respiratory events, and a respiratory therapist oversees care plans that may include oxygen management, tracheostomy care and airway clearance techniques. The presence of on-site respiratory care allows residents with complex breathing needs to remain in one setting rather than transfer to an acute hospital.
Beyond the primary medical services, the facility coordinates interdisciplinary care planning, case management and discharge planning to support smooth transitions home or to another level of care. Wound care, pain management and fall prevention programs are delivered under physician oversight, and lab, X-ray and pharmacy services are arranged as needed. A therapy gym equipped with modern modalities supports goal-oriented rehabilitation, while restorative nursing maintains functional gains once formal therapy ends. Family members are encouraged to participate in care conferences, and education sessions help caregivers understand disease management and recovery expectations.
Accommodations range from private to semiprivate rooms. Some units feature private kitchenettes for residents who prefer preparing simple snacks, and cable TV is available in many rooms. Select common areas include a fireplace, and outdoor patios provide space for fresh air and visits. Not every accommodation contains each of these features, so confirming room specifics during a tour is recommended. Flexible visiting hours allow family and friends to stop by when convenient, supporting resident engagement.
Meals are prepared on site and served three times daily, with menu options reviewed by a registered dietitian to meet therapeutic and cultural preferences. Modified textures and carbohydrate-controlled selections are available for residents with swallowing concerns or diabetes. Staff provide dining assistance for anyone who needs help with cutting food, prompting or monitoring intake. Snacks and beverages are accessible between meals, and residents may eat in a communal dining room or request in-room service when recovery or personal preference dictates.
An activity center hosts scheduled programs such as group exercises, arts projects and social events, while a library and computer lounge offers quiet reading areas and internet access. Paved walking paths around the property give residents and visitors the opportunity for light outdoor exercise and a change of scenery.
