Lake Mariam Health and Rehabilitation Center

Lake Mariam Health and Rehabilitation Center offers nursing home care with 24-hour nursing and personal care, and it focuses on helping those who have high medical needs, so you'll find skilled nurses on duty and plenty of care available all the time, and the staff work to help residents recover and get back home quicker with both short-term rehab and long-term skilled nursing services, and the whole team approach means that caregivers, therapists, and managers all try to work together for resident well-being. Residents get chef-prepared meals with thoughtful menus, and they can use Wi-Fi and high-speed internet, so staying connected is possible, and both indoor and outdoor common areas give space for relaxing, while transportation and parking are available with resident parking set aside too. The facility has an onsite beauty salon and barber shop, and a beautician visits as well, and residents can ask for multilingual support if needed. For care needs, Lake Mariam uses protocols for facial coverings to help prevent infections, and has infection-control policies for resident safety, and visitors and residents can opt out of masks with education, but some employees must wear masks with high-risk patients or in certain situations. The center is a Joint Commission-accredited facility with 120 certified beds and averages about 88 residents a day, and reports 5.07 nurse hours per resident per day, which is higher than the state average. However, the center has had 63 total deficiencies in inspections, including some about resident rights, environment, failure to protect from abuse, and infection-related issues, and recently had a $12,529 fine based on a complaint inspection. The nurse turnover rate is also higher than average at 65.5%, even though they keep more staff hours per resident. The center is controlled by Fl Hc Opco LLC and Robert Schoenfeld, who holds a majority stake since April 2023, and it's designated as a Special Focus candidate, which means it's had a history of quality issues but doesn't carry the formal government label. Residents at Lake Mariam get meals, care, rehab, and various services, with a philosophy focused on whole-person wellness, and while the team aims for a caring and warm atmosphere, families should know about the inspection history and discuss any concerns with staff about safety or care.
