Lakeland reports two injury claims, rising census to 88 and 57.5% Medicaid payer mix

In the business activity report for July, staff said the facility had two injuries that resulted in claims filed but no lost time. Overtime costs remained about $38,000 and crisis hours decreased slightly from June to July as hiring activity increased.

Staff reported the facility's census averaged 85 in July and "today, we're at 88," and provided payer-mix figures: roughly 57.5% Medicaid, about 32% private-pay and a small Medicare share. Staffing notes included both hiring successes (14 new CNAs) and some no-shows for interviews, underlining persistent challenges in filling licensed nursing roles.
