Some Place Like Home Inc. #2 in Jacksonville provides Assisted Living, Residential Care Home, and Memory Care programs under one roof, giving the staff flexibility to match services with changing needs. The community is equipped to manage residents who wander at any time of day, display combative or other behavioral concerns, stay awake through the night, require special diets, or live with advanced dementia. Support is also in place for adults younger than 60 and for diabetics managed by oral medication, allowing those residents to remain in a familiar setting rather than move to a higher level of care.
Care delivery is backed by a 24-hour nurse on call, an awake night shift, and an activity director who adapts programming for varying cognitive levels. All team members undergo background checks, and the property maintains a secure perimeter with fenced outdoor areas, door alarms, and in-room pull cords that alert staff. On-site podiatry visits reduce the need for outside appointments, and the staff accepts residents with psychiatric diagnoses. Personal care can be provided at a full-assistance level for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and transfer help ranges from standby to two-person lifts, whether residents use a walker or wheelchair.
Accommodations include furnished rooms, many with private bathrooms, cable connections, and the option for residents to paint or otherwise personalize their space. Not every room contains every feature, so families should confirm specific details during a tour.
Meals follow a set menu, but residents can request made-to-order alternatives, and snacks are available throughout the day. The kitchen team coordinates closely with medical staff to accommodate physician-ordered diet modifications and overall nutrition management.
Additional conveniences include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, outdoor smoking spaces, and a policy that allows pets. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. On-site amenities feature a barber and beauty shop, movie room, internet access, communal gardens, and regular religious services. Scheduled transportation and close proximity to public transit make medical appointments and outings straightforward.
