Winter Garden Rehabilitation and Nursing Center is a licensed healthcare and rehabilitation facility in Winter Garden, FL, that mainly helps people who need a lot of nursing care, whether it's after surgery, due to a long-term illness, or for ongoing health problems that make daily life hard. The center has 120 certified beds and cares for an average of about 106 residents each day, offering both short-term rehab to help people recover after being in the hospital and long-term nursing care for those who are very frail. Staff provide help all day and night, and the center does things like wound care, pain management, physical, occupational, speech, and cognitive therapy, along with post-surgical support and help with blood clots or infections, which means there's a lot of complex care going on, especially for people who've had tough hospital stays or need close watching.
Even though the facility has skilled nurses and tries to keep people comfortable with homelike rooms, cable TV, internet, telephone, recreational activities, social services, and a fine dining program, inspection reports have shown problems in some areas: the administration hasn't always managed resources well, there have been issues with how food is sourced, stored, and served, concerns about safety and cleanliness in the building, and even at least one deficiency relating to infection control, with a total of 24 documented issues from inspections and a standard inspection reported on February 7, 2025. The nurse turnover rate is 43%, and the facility provides about 3.5 nurse hours per resident per day, which is all information people might find useful when looking at care options.
The center is affiliated with Citadel Care Centers, operates on a for-profit basis as a Limited Liability Company, and holds accreditation from the Joint Commission, so the staff follows detailed standards with the aim of keeping care quality high while also communicating clearly with residents about medications and recovery, and there's always a focus on personalizing care to fit each person's needs as best as they can. Winter Garden Rehabilitation and Nursing Center has won recognition for patient satisfaction and clinical performance, such as the Women's Choice Award, and is ranked within the top 100% of hospitals for extended care, according to given sources, but while the facility does try to create a cheerful environment and has programs that add to the quality of life, the inspection findings are still something to keep in mind. People here can choose private or semi-private rooms, take part in social and recreational programs, and get help with daily needs or more complex medical issues, all in a place that wants residents to feel supported, safe, and as comfortable as possible.
