Dolphin Pointe Health Care Center in Jacksonville, FL is licensed as a skilled nursing facility and delivers 24-hour nursing care for residents who need ongoing medical oversight. Registered and licensed practical nurses work with certified nursing assistants to handle medication administration, wound management, post-surgical recovery, intravenous therapy, pain control, and other complex medical tasks. On-site rehabilitation professionals provide physical, occupational, and speech therapy designed to restore mobility and function after illness or injury, and therapists coordinate closely with nursing staff to align therapy goals with each resident’s care plan.
Beyond the direct clinical services, the center maintains physician oversight, regular care conferences, and electronic health record systems that allow prompt adjustments to treatment plans. Laboratory and pharmacy services are arranged daily, and diagnostic imaging or specialist consultations are coordinated when ordered by the attending physician. The community can admit residents for short-term rehabilitation, long-term custodial care, respite stays, or end-of-life support through contracted hospice providers. An in-house social services team assists with discharge planning or transitions to lower levels of care when appropriate.
Accommodations include both private and shared rooms, each designed with wide doorways, accessible bathrooms, and an emergency call system linked to the nursing station. Some rooms have additional storage, individual climate controls, and views of the Saint Johns River, while others are basic in layout. Not every room offers every feature, and room assignments depend on availability and care needs.
Meals are prepared in a commercial kitchen and served three times daily in the main dining room, with therapeutic diets and texture-modified options overseen by a registered dietitian. Residents who are unable to leave their beds receive tray service, and snacks are available between meals. Family members can arrange to join a meal with advance notice, and menu adjustments can often be made for cultural or personal preferences, although certain options may not be offered every day.
