About this community

Groves Center in Lake Wales, Florida, serves Lake Wales and Eastern Polk County. The center describes its location as near local hospitals and says it has served the area for more than 40 years. Its listed care options include post-acute services for people transitioning from hospital to home, rehabilitation, skilled nursing, and short- and long-term care. Together, these offerings cover a hospital-to-home transition as well as ongoing nursing support for residents who need longer-term care.

Rehabilitation services include physical, occupational, and speech therapy. The center lists these three therapy disciplines alongside skilled nursing. Its care staff includes registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants. The description therefore identifies both therapy services and several nursing roles, as well as care options that can serve different lengths of stay. It does not describe particular therapy schedules or room arrangements.

For people receiving post-acute care, the team works with physicians to coordinate care and services around each person’s discharge goals. The center describes this collaboration as intended to help individuals work toward a successful discharge home. Care planning is also described as individualized: interdisciplinary team members collaborate with residents, patients, families, and staff to develop plans. This account identifies several groups involved in planning, including the person receiving care and their family.

For residents who can no longer live on their own, the center offers general nursing and restorative services as part of its long-term care. These supports are distinct from the post-acute services described in relation to discharge home, while rehabilitation and skilled nursing are also listed among the broader care options. Social services are included in the service list alongside nursing and therapy, adding a nonclinical support service without further detail about its specific activities.

Nutritional services include meals provided by the dietary team to address residents’ and patients’ special dietary needs. The center says meals are served daily. Its activities department also provides activities each day, with the stated purpose of encouraging social interaction. These details describe recurring parts of daily life, although the information does not name specific menu choices, events, or activity schedules.

Housekeeping and laundry are listed among the center’s services. The center also says its maintenance and housekeeping departments work throughout the year to maintain the facility. Housekeeping is therefore described both as a service and as part of ongoing facility upkeep, while laundry is separately named. Taken together, the available information describes a care setting with rehabilitation, nursing, social and nutritional services, daily activities, and practical household support for short- and long-term care.

I just love Alesia she is so sweet and caring from the first day we met her to do a tour and when we admitted my aunt M.R she was always willing to help us with all her needs and the staff was so friendly. My aunt son said she even called to check on her at home.

The Groves Center is a clean facility. Never any odd smells or dirty floors like some other facilities I’ve been in. Residents have a great time with the many daily activities. Highly recommended for your loved one.

I am so happy to meet Alison. She has been so knowledgeable and understanding of every step in the admissions process! Thank you Alison!
