Bartow Center sits at 2055 E Georgia St in Bartow, Florida, and folks can check out its website at bartowcenter.com for things like pricing, tours, and maps. The place offers care day and night, with staff always around to lend a hand, and the building's set up for residents' comfort and wellness, which is something that folks looking for different care needs-from independent living to skilled nursing-might want to consider, especially if they or their loved ones live with disabilities or illnesses that make care harder to find. Bartow Center is tied to Caring, LLC and Hearthstone Senior Communities, and even though it's a non-profit with 120 certified beds and a license as SNF #1032096, it's important to know that the community's had its share of problems, like health inspection issues, staff shortages, and even fines from the government, including one for $12,871 in the last three years, so it's seen legal action about falls, medication mistakes, and other care complaints, and takes steps to offer legal help and consultation if someone needs it.
There's a lot going on inside Bartow Center with Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, Certified Nursing Assistants, and a therapy team that handles physical, occupational, and speech therapy-helping folks with recovery after surgeries, heart problems, strokes, or injuries, and the staff's got years of combined experience taking care of seniors, offering help with daily living and making sure people have meals, laundry, and housekeeping. Bartow Center does assisted living, independent living, memory care, continuing care, skilled nursing, respite stays, home care, adult day options, and even palliative care, supporting folks 55 and up, and has spaces for activities, beauty and barber services, church or quiet time, a residents' lounge, and private rooms and baths for comfort.
The center works on creating care plans that fit the person, keeping everyone-families included-involved, and tries to balance medical care with social activities and dignity, which is true for folks staying for the long haul or just short-term while recovering. People can meet staff, tour the spaces, or sit in on resident activities to get a clearer idea, and services include medication management, transportation, social work, emergency call systems, and therapy for those who need to get stronger before heading home. Bartow Center has a three-star rating both from US News and CMS, with higher marks for quality measures but lower on past inspections and staffing, and makes an effort to learn and adapt as communities' needs change.
The center has some strong programs, like post-acute rehab for joint replacements, speech or occupational therapy for recovery, and restorative services that help folks relearn daily skills, and folks working there say they focus on communication, respect, and individualized care, though it all happens in a facility where state and federal inspections have turned up some problems to look into before deciding if it's the best fit. The place promises 24-hour nurse coverage and a warm setting, but anyone thinking about Bartow Center should ask questions, visit in person, and make sure it matches what they need.
