Life Care Center of Jacksonville operates as a skilled nursing facility, concentrating on both extended and short-term needs. Around-the-clock nursing staff manage complex medical issues, while an in-house rehabilitation team delivers short-term rehabilitation programs designed to help residents return to prior levels of functioning after illness or surgery. The center is equipped to provide respiratory care and respiratory therapy, including oxygen management and airway treatments, and it accepts respite stays for caregivers who need a temporary break.
Clinical support extends beyond the primary therapies. Licensed nurses monitor medications, coordinate with physicians, and oversee wound care, IV therapies, and other specialized treatments. A multidisciplinary care team reviews each resident’s goals and progress, adjusting plans as needed to maintain safety and recovery momentum. Discharge planning and follow-up coordination are also part of the service model, helping residents transition smoothly if they return home or move to another setting.
Resident rooms vary in layout and features; not all accommodations include every option. Some suites provide private kitchenettes, cable TV, and wireless internet access, while others emphasize proximity to nursing stations. Housekeeping services are standard, and several rooms have views of landscaped gardens, outdoor walking paths, or a central fireplace lounge. Outdoor areas and pet-friendly policies allow residents to spend time with visiting animals when appropriate, and flexible visiting hours make it easier for families to stay involved.
All daily meals are prepared on site and served according to individual dietary requirements. The dining staff works with clinical teams to address medical nutrition needs such as low-sodium, diabetic, or texture-modified diets. Residents who prefer to eat in their rooms can do so, and snacks are available outside scheduled mealtimes.
Recreational and social opportunities include an activity center that hosts arts and crafts sessions, group exercise, and health and wellness programs. A library and computer lounge offers quiet space for reading and internet use, while organized social outings give residents regular access to community events and local attractions. Walking paths throughout the property support light exercise and outdoor engagement, ensuring residents have options to stay mentally and physically active each day.
