Groves Center

Groves Center sits in Lake Wales, FL, and has been serving the Lake Wales and Eastern Polk County area for over 40 years, offering care to seniors who need help with daily activities, as well as those with memory care needs, so you'll often see folks working with Physical, Occupational, and Speech Therapists, Registered and Licensed Practical Nurses, and Certified Nursing Assistants, and if you look around you'll notice a focus on assisted living, skilled nursing, and rehabilitation, plus palliative and respite care. The place provides a warm, home-like environment with clean rooms, and staff known for being helpful, joyful, and kind, which helps create a friendly setting whether you're staying short-term for rehab or for longer-term nursing care, and they put a lot of energy into making sure people get quick attention when they hit the call button, meals planned out by nutritionists and cooked by chefs, basic services like housekeeping and laundry, and plenty of activities, such as bingo and other community events to help folks stay engaged. They've got personalized care plans so each resident gets the kind of support they need, with an interdisciplinary team that works with residents, their families, and the staff to keep everything on the right track, and there's always an effort to provide for the whole person's well-being, not just the medical side, whether through restorative programs, social services, or various therapies. The facility, which is linked with A Place For Mom, keeps profiles and detailed records about services, characteristics, legal actions including past violations and fines, and emergency power plans, and there are also AHCA reports and consumer guides available for those who want more details. Groves Center is near local hospitals, offers both post-acute and long-term care, and pays attention to staff development by encouraging learning and diversity, and all of this comes together so residents get coordinated services in a supportive, safe, and homey place.
