These current public-data fields deserve follow-up with the facility and the official Medicare record. They are not a clinical risk score or a substitute for an in-person assessment.
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 70% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 21 findings, above the FL average of 7.3. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
Lake Haven Nursing and Rehab Center receives highly polarized feedback, with some families praising recent management changes and compassionate staff, while others report severe neglect and safety concerns. Critical issues consistently raised include poor hygiene, medical mismanagement, and concerns regarding financial exploitation of residents. Families considering this facility should be aware of the stark contrast between reports of dedicated care and allegations of dangerous, unsanitary conditions.

Key Review Excerpts
“I would like to State the wonderful care that my mother is receiving at lake Haven nursing and rehab under the new management I have seen tremendous change since the new takeover.”
“The kitchen staff at this nursing home truly go above and beyond. Every meal is prepared with care, and you can tell they genuinely value the residents’ health and happiness.”
“Not even one star they deserve. Do not take your loved one there. This place is inhumane. Totally disgusting. Took my husband there and I signed him right out.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

Original nursing home datasets
EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
These are the 6 closest facilities in our data within 10 miles. Proximity does not mean they provide the same care type or have stronger quality signals, so compare each profile and verify services directly.
