Bridgewalk on Harden sits in Lakeland, Florida, and offers a range of care from skilled nursing and rehabilitation services to long-term care and assisted living, which means residents can get help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, medication, and meals, while also having access to nursing care all day and night from licensed RNs and LPNs. They have 120 certified beds and usually see about 84 residents daily, with a nurse hours per resident per day of 3.18, which is something families might want to note. The facility is managed and fully owned by Louis Garrard since June 2021. Residents can pick from a mix of rooms, like studios, single rooms, two-bedroom units, semi-private rooms, and private rooms-some have kitchenettes and private bathrooms, and all living areas are air-conditioned and fully furnished, with options for both private suites and shared rooms. The community takes away the trouble of maintenance, cooking, and cleaning, so residents can focus on social activities, health programs, arts and crafts, or just visiting the library, salon, media room, or walking out in the garden or down the trail nearby.
The property offers amenities such as cable TV, Wifi, telephone and internet services, washers and dryers, a game room, guest parking, a dining room for restaurant-style meals, fitness center, housekeeping, safety and handicap features, and a sprinkler system throughout. Dining services offer a variety of meal options, and transportation is available for medical visits or outings. The care team is awake and available all day and night, so assistance is always at hand. Therapies including wound care, occupational therapy, and podiatry are part of the services, along with help for residents who need medication support, safe pain management, and grooming tasks like walking, toileting, and wheelchair help. Bridgewalk on Harden also tries to create a supportive, homelike setting, but has had challenges, with 22 reported total deficiencies, including keeping a clean, safe environment, submitting accurate staffing information to CMS, and making sure residents get safe pain management when needed, so families may want to consider those things. The building aims to mix care with Southern hospitality, and there's an active social calendar and programs for well-being. The facility rates a 4.0 from four reviews according to the available ratings and has a dedicated website for more information and directions.
