About Jackson Memorial Long-Term Care Center

Jackson Memorial Long-Term Care Center in Miami, Florida, is a nonprofit, Florida-licensed skilled nursing facility with 180 beds. It is owned and operated by Miami-Dade County and Jackson Health System, and is one of two skilled nursing facilities they operate. Its role is closely linked to Jackson Memorial Hospital: the center helps the hospital discharge patients with complex medical conditions when returning home or transferring to another community nursing home is not readily possible. This hospital-transition function is a defining part of the center’s place within the health system.

Care options include skilled nursing, rehabilitation and long-term nursing care. A third-party facility description also identifies short-term rehabilitation, while the center’s own profile describes rehabilitation without specifying typical stay lengths. Rehabilitation is intended to help patients regain function and reach their individual potential. The available information does not detail admission criteria, individual treatment plans or how long a person might stay, so these details should not be assumed to be the same for every patient.

Skilled care is available around the clock through an interdisciplinary team. The listed professionals include physicians, registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and certified nursing assistants. Dietitians, therapists, social workers, pharmacists and support staff are also part of the team. The center identifies adult medicine, geriatrics, rehabilitation nursing and restorative nursing as areas in which team members are trained or licensed. Together, these disciplines form the staffing model described for people needing professional nursing care and rehabilitation support.

The center says its approach considers individual medical and nursing needs as well as social, psychological, spiritual and recreational needs. This outlines a broad scope of attention, but the available descriptions do not identify specific recreational programs or activities. The facility characterizes its setting as friendly and homelike; information about room layouts, shared spaces, dining arrangements and resident amenities is not provided. Families comparing options can therefore distinguish the stated care scope from daily-life details that are not established in the available material.

The facility is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid. Certification describes the center, not whether a particular person qualifies for either program or what services may be covered in an individual case. The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration surveys the center annually. These details sit alongside its 180-bed capacity, around-the-clock skilled care and hospital-discharge role in describing the facility’s services and oversight. The information provided does not specify current bed availability or particular arrangements for a prospective stay.
