The facility has 201 beds and offers both private and semi-private rooms, with complimentary cable and Wi-Fi in each room, and some rooms are quite spacious.

There's an on-site beauty salon, a gift and sundries shop, and laundry services, plus air conditioning, newspaper delivery, and TV. The large dayrooms, indoor lounges, and big outdoor patios and courtyards give people places to visit, relax, or join in on activities, which include music, dancing, casino night, arts and crafts, a debate club, gardening, religious services, weekly dog-therapy visits, musical entertainment, and special dining events.

Lakeland Health Care Center offers physical, occupational, and speech therapies through an in-house rehabilitation department and supports people recovering from orthopedic surgeries, strokes, and degenerative diseases like Parkinson's. They use modern tools, like OmniVR for virtual reality therapy, Shortwave Diathermy, and Therapeutic Ultrasound, which help reduce pain and inflammation or promote mobility. Nurses and clinical staff provide around-the-clock skilled care, focusing on pain, tracheostomy, and diabetes management, and develop individualized care plans after each resident arrives. Social services staff help arrange support, equipment, and explore community resources for families and residents. The medical team gets high marks, and staff try to respect each resident's relationship with their own doctor. The center hosts events and encourages social life among residents, and their specialty in supporting the Indian and Asian community is shown through their ties with My Indian Nursing Home. They offer care across several locations in New Jersey, including Haskell, South Plainfield, Edison, Linden, Green Brook Township, Newark, Perth Amboy, and Englishtown.
