Overall Review of Lake City Scranton Healthcare Center

caveat 8 reviews mention this

Care quality feels inconsistent

Residents and families describe both strong rehab outcomes and serious lapses in basic care.

Some residents’ family members report neglect-level problems, including long delays in changing and feeding, missed medicines, and concerns about wound and diabetes care. Other reviewers describe the opposite experience during rehab, saying they received the therapy and medical support they needed to recover from infections and improve mobility. Several reviews also tie care to therapy (OT/PT), which is described as helpful by some families and inadequate by others.

caveat 6 reviews mention this

Communication is a recurring complaint

Families often report difficulty reaching the facility by phone and getting timely updates.

Multiple reviewers say phone communication is unreliable, with calls going unanswered, long holds, transfers, or disconnected lines. Others describe limited communication overall, and some emphasize how hard it is to stay informed when they cannot easily visit. A few positive notes mention staff members being responsive in specific moments, but the overall theme stays focused on families feeling left in the dark.

caveat 8 reviews mention this

Cleanliness and odor concerns vary

Reviews describe both an exceptionally clean facility and troubling odor or hygiene issues.

Several negative reviews mention strong odors like urine, dirty conditions, and hygiene problems such as soiled beds or poor cleaning. There are also accounts of questionable cleanliness during visits, including concern about maintenance of bedding and personal care. On the other hand, multiple reviewers praise daily cleaning, polished hallways, and an overall clean environment.

common 9 reviews mention this

Support from staff stands out

Many reviews highlight staff members who feel caring, friendly, and supportive.

A number of reviewers specifically thank nurses, CNAs, therapists, social workers, and administration for checking in, guiding therapy, and offering emotional support. Some describe staff as interactive during community events and as making residents feel comfortable. Others temper the praise by saying staff quality depends on who you get or that management issues can affect how residents are treated.
