Does Westminster Woods on Julington Creek offer memory care in Jacksonville?

Yes. Westminster Woods on Julington Creek's AHCA profile lists a Memory Care program.

Start with what AHCA has already cited at Westminster Woods on Julington Creek — staff training and dementia (ADRD) training and care — and ask what changed afterward; then cover overnight staffing, the full rate sheet and what would trigger a move-out.

• How do you track annual in-service training, and can I see the schedule?
• Which staff have completed Florida's ADRD dementia training, and how are new hires covered before they finish it?
• Do you accept VA Aid & Attendance or long-term care insurance, and do you help with the paperwork?
• How do you handle a hospital discharge back to the community?
• What is the monthly rate for my parent's exact care level, and what triggers an increase?
• Which care needs would require a move to a nursing home?
• How long have the administrator and the resident care director been in their roles?
• Is a nurse on site every day, and who covers nights and weekends?

Tour at a mealtime, ask to see this week's activity calendar, and take the contract home. Under s. 429.28, F.S., a Florida ALF must give 45 days' written notice before a non-emergency relocation or discharge.

How does moving into Westminster Woods on Julington Creek work?

Florida requires a medical examination on AHCA Form 1823, completed within 60 days before or 30 days after admission, so Westminster Woods on Julington Creek can confirm it can meet your parent's needs.

• Residency agreement. Florida requires a written contract listing the services, the rate and the notice the facility must give before a rate increase; compare it with other communities before signing.
• Memory care placement. Ask how Westminster Woods on Julington Creek decides between assisted living and memory care for a new resident, and whether a move between them changes the rate.
• Payment. Most residents pay privately; long-term care insurance, VA Aid & Attendance and, where accepted, SMMC LTC Medicaid can offset costs.

Most moves take two to four weeks once a room is available; a hospital discharge can compress that to days, which is when a second set of eyes on the contract helps most.
