About this community

Wedgewood Healthcare Center is a nursing and rehabilitation community in Lakeland, Florida. Its listed services include nursing-home care, skilled nursing, memory care and rehabilitation, along with long-term care and comprehensive post-acute care. The profile covers both ongoing nursing-facility services and post-acute offerings, but does not describe admission criteria or explain how these services are organized. The facility is listed as a Medicare and Medicaid nursing-home provider.

Skilled nursing is specifically listed as available around the clock. Nursing-home care and long-term care are also named, as is care for medically complex patients. These categories outline the range of nursing services in the listing, but the available information does not name medical specialties, procedures or conditions beyond the broad reference to medical complexity. It also does not explain how residents qualify for different types of care or move between them.

Memory care is another listed option, with Alzheimer’s care and dementia care included among the services. This identifies the conditions associated with the community’s memory-related offerings, but the description does not explain how that care is delivered. It provides no details about dedicated areas, supervision, daily programs, staff credentials or eligibility. The service names offer a general indication of scope, rather than a description of specific routines or clinical protocols.

Rehabilitation is listed alongside the nursing services. The clinical therapies named are physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy. The service list also includes comprehensive post-acute care and a discharge-planning program. Together, these entries describe rehabilitation and transition planning as parts of the service menu. The available information does not say which therapies are provided to an individual resident, how frequently they take place, or what activities or equipment are used.

Residents are reported to have a choice among room layouts, but the available description does not identify particular arrangements, such as private or shared rooms. It also gives no details about furnishings, bathrooms or shared spaces. The facility’s listed capacity is 120 residents. This provides a sense of its stated size, though the source material does not describe how residents are grouped or how room choices are allocated.

The facility is listed as a for-profit nursing-home provider that participates in Medicare and Medicaid. A third-party location description places it about 3.5 miles from Kathleen, while the community profile identifies Lakeland. The supplied information does not give community-specific details about dining, activities or amenities, so these aspects of daily life cannot be characterized here. Overall, the available description focuses on care categories, therapy services and room-layout choice rather than everyday routines.

My mom stayed at Bedrock Rehabilitation & Nursing Center at Wedgewood. I wouldn't put my dog in there. She was there for two and a half months for rehab. That facility is not good. And their food is bad. I think with any nursing facility, when you call for somebody to help you, you end up waiting. My mom ended up waiting for a long time. The problem I see is with the CNAs. The nurses are fine, as well as the staff. The overall facility is just bad. It's filthy. As far as her rehab, her therapists were good. But, I don't think that they give them enough exercises and stuff. They only see them…

My mom stayed at Bedrock Rehabilitation & Nursing Center at Wedgewood. I wouldn't put my dog in there. She was there for two and a half months for rehab. That facility is not good. And their food is bad. I think with any nursing facility, when you call for somebody to help you, you end up waiting. My mom ended up waiting for a long time. The problem I see is with the CNAs. The nurses are fine, as well as the staff. The overall facility is just bad. It's filthy. As far as her rehab, her therapists were good. But, I don't think that they give them enough exercises and stuff. They only see them for like an hour a day, and I really think they need more therapy. My mom's room is nasty.

Be careful not to stay at this facilty. My wife contracted Covid when she stayed at this location. The room care staff was adequate, the rooms were not always cleaned everyday and the Physical Therapy staff provided very minimal care. The worst part of this location was the ove-billing. I was told my wife's stay would only be billed for the time frame her insurance covered (20 days). I asked the social servixc manager everyday for a week prior to my wife's discharge and they guranteed all charges would be within the insuarance time frame of 20 days.

I subsequently received a bill for an additional day. Stay at your own risk.

That place is a shame they don't care about the people there. They cut my mom's leg twice and never cleaned the wounds and no incident reports were made. The beds and trays are nasty looks like puss and or rust on bed and tray. No chair in room so has to sit on bed when visiting. They did not treat my mother well. And the roommate she first had was neglected by the care givers.

My father-in-law came to this facility for rehab. He liked the rehab staff, but the nursing staff, food and care was not acceptable. I would NEVER allow a loved one to stay in this facility again. The care is disgraceful.

THIS WAS THE MOST AWEFUL EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE!! THE ABSOLUTE WORST FACILITY! THE CNA'S IGNORE YOU! THE FOOD WAS SLOP! THEY SHOUD BE SHUT DOWN! THE WORKERS WERE BEYOND LAZY AND ACTED AS IF YOU OWED THEM AND SPOKE TO ME LIKE A WAS A DOG ! I WISH I WOULD HAVE HAD A HIDDEN CAMERA DURING MY STAY! HORRIBLE!!

I was a diabetic my Blood was 102 on arriving from the Hospital . It is now 345 If you want a Place to Recup this place is not it. The Tharaphy is great but be ready for 2-3 hour wait times, Turning off Lights ,No help for 30-60 Minutes. Great place to Go to Lie in Bed.

I was at Wedgewood Healthcare Center last summer for rehab. I'm diabetic, and one day I had potatoes and rice on the same plate. There were no menus. Whatever they serve, that's what you would have. They had temporary staff almost the whole time. It's very seldom to get the same person for 2 days in a row. Most of them came from an agency. The facility I went to was so I could get my strength back through exercise, and it was pretty consistent. They were nice and good, but the general staff was low at everything. There were no amenities. It's like being locked in a hospital room. Because of Covid, there were no activities.

I’m very concern, my family mbr that went in from the hospital tested negative with in days family mbr tested positive with Covid and moved to Covid area in center . Family member was tested an was positive for Covid !! Nothing given but tyenol Nurses are 4 hrs given meds and not keeping patient clean in all areas & patient sitting in pull-up w soiled in them for hours .. despicablej & disgusting the Staff ( NURSES & CNA ) don’t seem to care enough keep patient comfortable , clean and control their pain .. This facility and staff should be closed down . Ur mission statement means ditty ..
