Life Care Center of Jacksonville

I recommend Life Care Center of Jacksonville. The facility is very nice and clean. They have nice equipment to help there patient. They have never ran out of planning. The food there is great. The nurses and aides are very polite and helpful. The only problems I seen was the lack of staff. And some of the management do not know how to speak to employees

Therapy was amazing. The facility is beautiful. Those are the only positives I can say. The nursing staff was a joke. If you ask for pain meds, be prepared to wait up to 2 hours if you get them at all. There's also a huge disparity in care in the different parts of the facility. Antigua was good and had decent nurses and CNA who care and were on top of things. If they try to move you to Bermuda or put you in Bermuda just offer to lay in a vacant parking space in the lot. You'll get just as much care there.

My mother was in Life Care Center of Jacksonville. I wasn't happy with the nursing and the nursing aides department. The therapy department was good, but the other part where the nurses take care of you and the assistants come and change, they were not very good. They didn't have enough staff to take care of your patient. The food wasn't any good there either. We were not happy with that place overall. The only thing we were happy with was the therapy. They need to hire more help and be more attentive to the patients. The rooms and the facility itself were nice. Looking at the facility, being in the facility and the cleanliness of the facility were all OK.

Life Care is unlike any facility in which I've ever visited. The staff remembers each patient by name, and remembers their family members. They truly care about the needs of each individual patient and are willing to provide personalized training to ensure that the patients' needs are met once they return home. My grandfather raved over the food. It was far beyond the typical hospital and/or assisted living dining room food. The choices were multiple, the quality was fresh and the ability to call the kitchen and ask for something extra was always available. The physical therapists did not just go through the proverbial motions. They wanted each patient to receive the past possible care, whether they were 91 or 51. They created a hard working environment of only 15-20 min breaks, but allowed different muscles to rest while working on a different part of the body. Life Care certainly lives up to its name, as it does create a caring environment for all patients and their families. I believe you can truly rest easy, knowing that your family members are in good hands.
