City and state of the facility. Used for mapping and state-average comparisons.
Licensed bed capacity (maximum allowed). Not the same as how many beds are currently filled.
Indicates whether residents are allowed to have pets in the facility.
Third-party neighborhood walkability score (0–100). Convenience/context metric, not a healthcare quality measure.
Name of the licensed owner, operator, or managing entity as filed with the state. Useful for grouping facilities under the same organization.
A 0–100 score of a facility's regulatory inspection record, shown as a letter and compared with other facilities of the same kind in the same state. This is a proprietary Assisted Living Magazine grade. It is not a government rating. A dash means we have no inspection data for that facility.
Count of regulatory inspections in the reporting window. Higher volume can reflect more oversight visits, complaint-driven surveys, or routine licensure cycles.
Share of inspections that resulted in citations, expressed as a percentage of total inspections in the window.
Total count of citations (cited regulatory issues) recorded in the selected reporting period. Read alongside inspection counts for context.
The average number of citations this facility receives each time it's inspected, calculated as total citations ÷ total inspections. A lower number suggests more consistent compliance with safety and care standards.
Reported profit orientation for the operator or facility (e.g. for-profit vs nonprofit), as provided in state licensing or disclosure data.
Total monetary fines or penalties in the reporting window from the state source. A single large fine can dominate this figure.

Overview of Signature HealthCARE of Jacksonville

Signature HealthCARE of Jacksonville is a nursing home at 2061 Hyde Park Rd in Jacksonville, Florida, with respite and hospice care built into the same operation. The care model is set up for both short-term rehab and long-term stays, with 24/7 nursing and on-site occupational, physical, and speech therapies.

The numbers tell you something useful about who actually lives here. An average length of stay of 118 days means this isn’t purely a revolving door for post-acute patients, but it’s not a place where everyone stays forever either. Occupancy is at 72.6%. Total nursing coverage runs 4 hours and 18 minutes per resident per day: RNs account for 30 minutes, LPNs 48 minutes, and nurse aides carry the largest share at 2 hours and 11 minutes. That distribution is worth understanding if consistent RN presence is a priority for your family.

Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted, which keeps the facility accessible across a range of financial situations. St. Vincent’s Medical Center Riverside and Baptist Health Jacksonville are both nearby, which is a real practical consideration when skilled nursing residents sometimes need acute hospital access fast. The neighborhood comes in at a Walk Score of 55, moderately walkable, with some services reachable on foot.

For Jacksonville families looking at skilled nursing with rehab therapy and hospice access under one roof, this facility covers that range with standard care levels and broad payment options.
