Working at Wedgewood Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center

Wedgewood Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center is a 120-bed nursing home in Lakeland, Florida. Over the 12-month period CMS measures, 42.9% of its registered nurses stopped working here. Across the 643 Florida nursing homes CMS reports, the average is 46%, so Wedgewood Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center keeps its RNs better than 54% of nursing homes in the state.

Staffing tells a different story. Residents here receive about 20 minutes of RN time per day, against 44 minutes across Florida. That is less RN coverage than most Florida nursing homes. CMS gives Wedgewood Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center a staffing rating of 1 out of 5.

Turnover for the whole nursing team, which counts RNs, LPNs and nurse aides, is 43.8% here compared with 41.5% statewide.

What this means if you apply here

  • About 57% of RNs counted here stayed through CMS's 12-month measurement period, so you would join a team with continuity.
  • RN hours per resident run below the state average, so ask how assignments are built on your shift.

Questions to ask in your interview

  • How many residents does each RN cover on the shift I would work?
  • How is weekend RN coverage handled?
  • What keeps your RNs here? Ask the nurses you meet, not only the manager.
