Palm Garden of Jacksonville operates as a skilled nursing facility, providing 24-hour nursing oversight for residents who need long- or short-term clinical attention. Licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants monitor vital signs, manage medications, and coordinate rehabilitation programs. A dedicated physical therapy team is on site, offering individualized treatment plans aimed at regaining strength, mobility, and balance after surgery, illness, or injury.
Beyond direct medical care, the facility supplies assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and toileting. Care staff track each resident’s progress, adjust care plans as needed, and work with physicians to ensure continuity of treatment. Discharge planning and family education are also standard parts of the service, helping residents transition safely when they return home or move to a different level of care.
Accommodations include both private and shared rooms, with layouts designed for accessibility and ease of movement. Some rooms provide direct access to outdoor areas or the landscaped garden, offering residents a place to sit outside and enjoy fresh air. Not every accommodation contains each of these features, so interested families should confirm room specifics during a visit.
Meals are prepared on site and served three times daily in a communal dining room, with therapeutic diets arranged for residents who require low-sodium, diabetic, or texture-modified options. Staff members monitor intake and coordinate with dietitians to adjust meal plans when health conditions change or doctor’s orders are updated. Room-service trays are available for those recovering from procedures or preferring to dine privately.
Residents have access to an activity center where daily programs range from exercise classes to crafts and social events. A library and computer lounge offers books, internet access, and space for quiet reading or video calls with family. Housekeeping, laundry, and scheduled transportation round out the core services so residents can focus on recovery and daily routines.
