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 54% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 13 findings, above the MS average of 6.7. 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.
Lakeland Community Care Center receives highly polarized feedback, with some families praising the rehab therapy and admissions staff while others report severe neglect and unprofessionalism. Common complaints center on inadequate staffing levels, poor medication management, and hygiene issues, leading to significant concerns about patient safety and dignity. Families considering this facility should be aware of the stark contrast between the positive experiences of some short-term rehab patients and the distressing accounts of long-term care residents.

Key Review Excerpts
“Rehab was ok. Long term care is horrible medication issues, some of staff sorry talk to patients crazy, ongoing bed issues for few weeks.”
“My mom really enjoy her rehab stay there, the staff there was so friendly and nice to her. She stated the only thing she wasn't happy with was the cleaning of her room and the bath schedule.”
“The nursing staff are unprofessional uncaring vindictive and their license should be revoked. I sat this because I am also a nurse and I haven’t seen or worked in a place that treat patients horrible.”
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.

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.
