Ask about this communityConsulate Health Care of Lakeland is a skilled nursing and rehabilitation center in Lakeland, Florida. The center is listed as having 120 beds, and rehabilitation is identified as a focus alongside skilled nursing. A directory record gives 1984 as the year it opened. It is about 4.3 miles from Combee Settlement, a nearby community reference for families comparing locations in the Lakeland area. These details describe a nursing-care setting rather than an independent-living community.
An on-site therapy gym is one of the center’s specific rehabilitation features. It provides an indoor space for therapy activities, although the available information does not name particular therapy disciplines or programs. The profile identifies rehabilitation broadly, so it supports describing a rehabilitation focus without detailing treatment schedules or the kinds of conditions addressed. The gym is a practical facility feature alongside the center’s skilled nursing designation.
Studio room layouts are listed as an available living arrangement, with a range of layouts noted. The available description does not specify room dimensions or furnishings. Meals are prepared on site, and the listing says dietary preferences and restrictions are taken into account. Together, the room and dining details offer a sense of two everyday considerations: the type of accommodation identified and how meals are handled.
Social activities and programs are also part of the listed daily-life offerings. Examples include art classes and recreational outings, which provide different kinds of organized activity, from creative pursuits to time away from the center. The grounds are described as landscaped and suitable for outdoor recreation. These outdoor areas and scheduled activities are separate features: one concerns the setting outside, while the other describes programming.
Practical services and amenities include laundry and housekeeping, transportation, telephone service and air conditioning. A chapel is also listed. Laundry and housekeeping relate to routine household tasks, while telephone service and air conditioning are room or building conveniences. Transportation is identified as an amenity, but the listing does not specify its destinations or schedule. The chapel adds a designated space for religious or quiet use.
The profile’s most concrete points for comparing daily life are the studio layouts, prepared meals, activity options, landscaped grounds and listed household services. Its care information centers on skilled nursing and rehabilitation, with an on-site therapy gym noted as a specific feature. The center’s size and opening year provide additional background, while its Lakeland location and distance from Combee Settlement help place it among local options.

My mother has moved into Consulate Health Care. So far, so good. The staff is nice. However, they need to improve the laundry area because they seem to lose clothing easily. The staff members all seem to be pretty good. My mother's room is small. The lighting is bad too. They play bingo, they have church services, and they have some entertainment. The food service is good.
I went in after having knee replacement surgery. I would have to beg for my pain meds. It took 2 days to get my heart and blood pressure meds. If it had not been for one wonderful nurse Jessica I would not have gotten them then. Please don't put your love ones here. The night I left it took over 4 hours to get my pain meds.
The staff was very friendly, and the people seemed to be happy, reasonably so. The place was clean. My husband was only in Consulate Health Care of Lakeland for four nights. His room had two beds, a closet, a bathroom, and a dresser.
At first, when visiting my grandfather in the facility, it was very quaint. The decor, the activities offered and even the staff seemed generally appealing and showed a natural concern for their patients. My grandfather stayed there for about two years, and it was very rare for any problems to arise, except for Medicare or health issues that came up. Closer to the end of his stay, and the reason why we decided to relocate him was because he seemed more and more unhappy. The decor and activities stayed the same, but the overwhelming smell of urine crept down the halls. It also came to our attention that bedsores were appearing, and the nurses were rude and unconcerned of his conditions that we rose. Eventually, even the office attendees were difficult with paperwork which was kept up as much as possible, it just seemed they were never satisfied with the 3800 dollars a month they received! That, I could deal with. It's just people doing their jobs, but how my grandfather seemed to be treated, the bedsores, and urine smell was unacceptable. So, we relocated him and although he has dementia, is basically immobile, and cannot communicate with us, he appears happy where he is now then this facility whom seemed more interested in the appearance than their patients!
my mom has been trying to get her correct meds for 3 weeks
