About Highlands Lake Center

Highlands Lake Center in Lakeland, Florida, is a skilled nursing facility in Polk County focused on post-acute rehabilitation and long-term care. Its published service information says care is planned around individual needs. Listed options include short-term rehabilitation and ongoing nursing care, with nursing available around the clock. The living arrangements described are private and semi-private rooms; the pages do not provide apartment floor plans or room layouts.

Specialized services named by the center include wound care, post-surgical care and pain management. Therapy options span physical, occupational and speech therapy, along with cognitive and adaptive therapy. The pages group these under rehabilitation and specialized care but do not describe individual schedules or treatment techniques. The range includes several forms of therapy as well as nursing services, though the published list does not say that every service is used for every resident.

Long-term care is listed alongside respite and palliative care, with social services and therapeutic recreation also included. A separate third-party facility profile describes memory-care programs for people with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, and reports individualized care plans and assistance with daily living activities. This information comes from a third-party profile rather than the center’s official service list. The listed offerings therefore include both specialized care and support services, but the pages do not explain how each is arranged for an individual resident.

The amenities information describes private and semi-private rooms, restaurant-style dining, cable television, telephone service and internet. It does not specify room dimensions, furnishings or how technology is arranged. The official site describes the surroundings as home-inspired with a modern style. A map listing also identifies wheelchair access, customer parking and restrooms as facility features; it does not provide further details about access arrangements.

Daily life options listed include social activities and recreational programs, while therapeutic recreation is separately named among the care services. Transportation to medical appointments is also listed as an amenity. A third-party profile describes landscaped outdoor areas, adding a reported outdoor feature to the room, dining and activity details. The available descriptions do not provide a schedule for activities or transportation.

A third-party facility listing reports 179 beds, indicating the center’s overall scale rather than the number or configuration of particular room types. Nearby places identified in a map listing include Lakeland Regional Health Medical Center, Florida Southern College, Florida Polytechnic University and Southeastern University, as well as Lakeland Linder International Airport. The same listing names shopping destinations such as Walmart, Lakeland Square Mall, Target and Sam’s Club. The center’s stated care mix remains focused on short-term rehabilitation, around-the-clock nursing and long-term care.
