What to Look for When Visiting LAKELAND NURSING & REHAB

Use this checklist during an in-person visit. First impressions reveal more than brochures or websites ever will.

☐

Is there an unpleasant smell?

A persistent odor (urine, feces, or heavy chemical deodorizer) indicates poor hygiene maintenance. Brief cooking smells are normal; lingering waste odors are not.

☐

Are residents engaged or sitting idle?

Active residents (playing games, talking, in therapy) indicate quality programming. A room full of people staring at a TV during daytime is a concerning sign.

☐

Count staff vs. residents during your visit

LAKELAND NURSING & REHAB reports 0.0 total nurse hours per resident per day. During your visit, observe whether staff seem rushed or overwhelmed — the real ratio matters more than reported numbers.

☐

Ask about staff consistency

Staff turnover is 20.2% — below average, which is a positive sign for care continuity. Still ask whether your family member will have consistent caregivers assigned.

☐

Ask about their most recent inspection

11 deficiencies were found in the last inspection. Ask specifically: "What were they, and what have you done to fix them?" A transparent facility will answer clearly.
