Finding a skilled nursing center for recuperation after a serious illness or in old age can be tricky. You may have left the Jackson Memorial Hospital but aren't fully ready to go back on your feet. Jackson Plaza Nursing & Rehabilitation Center is a respected option.
Three Plaza Health hospitals are virtually within walking distance: Jackson Memorial Hospital, UM Health Center, and Bascom Palmer Eye Institute.
In Miami-Dade County, Florida, Plaza Health Network has seven facilities for long-term care, skilled nursing, and rehabilitation. One facility is the Jackson Plaza Nursing & Rehabilitation Center.
This isn't an assisted living facility. Nursing homes give both medical and personal care constantly, whereas assisted living facilities often just provide personal care.
Patients at Jackson Plaza can expect a wide range of care services.

Elder Needs Law Services in Florida
Besides finding a good nursing home, elder needs planning involves many different decisions.
Elder Law encompasses several legal areas, including:
- Retirement funds
- Medicaid planning
- Guardianship
- Nursing home abuse and negligence
- Estate planning
- Probate
Estate Planning
Elder Needs Law offers help with many other elements of estate planning, such as:
Medicare And Medicaid
After a three-day hospital stay, Medicare only pays for 100 days of rehabilitation or nursing home care. If you are eligible, Medicare will pay for the first 20 days of long-term care costs. However, in 2023, there is an additional copay for the remaining 80-days, which is $200 a day.
Because Medicare does not cover long-term care or nursing homes for more than 100 days, working with an elder law attorney with substantial experience in Medicaid planning is essential.
Home healthcare, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities are all more expensive than you think. Medicaid may be a choice if you require assistance with long-term care costs. Suppose your income or assets are too high to qualify for Medicaid. In that case, Medicaid planning may be an alternative to get you back into the program's acceptable range.
Medicaid Eligibility
Good nursing home care usually is costly and requires planning from your loved ones.
In Florida, applicants must meet specific standards to qualify for Medicaid, including:
- Florida residence
- US citizenship or legal resident alien for at least five years
- An income of less than $2,742 per month as of January 2023
- Less than $2,000 of combined assets
- For those with excess income or assets, our medicaid lawyers can help!
