BEDROCK REHABILITATION AND NURSING CENTER AT WEDGE
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Bedrock Rehabilitation and Nursing Center at Wedge has a Trust Grade of B, indicating it is a good choice for families seeking care, though not without some concerns. Ranked #179 out of 690 in Florida, this facility is in the top half for quality, and it holds the #2 spot among 25 facilities in Polk County, suggesting it is one of the better options locally. The facility is improving, with a decrease in issues from 10 in 2022 to 6 in 2024, although it still faces some challenges. Staffing is rated at 3 out of 5 stars, and turnover is at 41%, slightly below the state average, but there is concerningly less RN coverage than 86% of Florida facilities. While there have been no fines, which is positive, the facility has faced issues like failing to maintain operational call light systems in resident bathrooms and not updating staffing information in a timely manner, indicating areas that need attention. Overall, while there are strengths in care quality and staffing stability, families should be aware of the facility's ongoing improvements and specific incidents that require monitoring.
