We are proud to announce JCMCF has ranked among the best in the state of Michigan for the fourth year in a row. This study is conducted by Newsweek. The ranking is based on three data sources: Performance data, peer recommendations, and the facility's handling of COVID-19. We are so very proud of Team JCMCF and our CarePartners' dedication to our Residents.

This mission statement embodies both the need of our Residents but also you and me as a CarePartner. You are why I am here. I am why you are here. Our Residents are why we are here. This mission statement moves our focus from ourselves to those around us. It implies respect for one another as we are here for others and not just ourselves. Let’s continue your story together! Our vision statement is all about writing our life story; whether as CarePartner or Resident, we all have a story. As an organization, we want to be part of your story. Not a horror story but a beautiful story. The one that we all want our lives to be. You can write a story all about one person but without other characters in that story it falls flat, it lacks meaning. Together we make each other’s stories sweeter if we choose to live the mission statement. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f22ec9de12fe40b6dd7e88d/71f72ad1-4a61-4b31-8374-34cf0c97a34e/IDDSI+blurb+for+jcmcf+2.jpeg Home - As many know, due to certain conditions, people can experience difficulty chewing and/or swallowing as they age. Collectively, such challenges are referred to as dysphagia. In the nursing home setting, one of the ways we have always tailored care to residents’ needs is to modify the texture of foods to make eating easier and safer when living with dysphagia. Historically, hospitals and nursing homes did their best to develop and name different diet-textures which could vary some between different facilities and regions. So in effort to standardize the methods and terminology for these diets across all care settings worldwide, the International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative (IDDSI) was convened (visit iddsi.org for more info). Now, IDDSI makes it possible for everyone to speak the same “food safety language.” This month JCMCF will officially adopt the IDDSI framework for the different diet levels we provide. For most residents there will be few if any changes. For some however, the conversion will be more evident; most notably for those currently following a soft diet. The soft diet will now be called Soft and Bite-Sized (IDDSI level 6). For the Soft and Bite-Sized diet, IDDSI recommends avoiding most bread-type items, most fried foods and a few others. Here’s why: Bread-type foods are often challenging for people with dysphagia. Bread doesn’t break down easily when chewed and can form a sticky, doughy mass that can pose a risk. Fried foods Deep-frying often produces a crust or breading that’s hard, sharp, or dry. Frying also removes moisture, and dry foods can be hard to chew and swallow safely. Fried foods often fail IDDSI’s “fork pressure test” — the food should squash easily when pressed with a fork without crumbling into hard fragments. Other foods – some foods in their usual state that are difficult to chew and swallow cannot be easily modified to make them safe (like corn kernels and bacon). Our team is dedicated to making this transition as smooth as possible. We have provided staff training on the new diets and terminology and we will work to individualize each resident’s diet order. Our commitment is and always will be to employ the most current standards of care while honoring the individual needs and desires of residents.

Visitations will be permitted with the following rules set in place: All visit times must be reserved. To reserve at visiting time, call (517) 782-8500 ext. 100 Visits will be 20 minutes in length. Visits will be held on Monday- Friday. While our Residents will be warm indoors, we do want to think about our families and their safety, if you feel you need to cancel your visitation due to the weather please call and let our front desk team know at x100 as soon as it is feasible. We will post on our website if visits are canceled for any reason. All visits will be held at the window of the stairwell on the north end of the parking lot with the Resident indoors and the visitors outside. Please bring a cell phone with you. Our Residents will use one on their side of the glass to communicate with you. The cell phone number for the Resident will be provided at your visit. Please arrive on time for your visit. If you are late, your time is not extended. We will have MANY appointments and must stay on schedule to accommodate all of our families. Being late for your visit will not extend your time allotment. Basically, you snooze, you lose your time! Pets are allowed to visit but they must be on a leash, be well-behaved, and owners are responsible for any waste. If your loved one chooses that they do not want to participate in the scheduled visit for any reason that choice will be honored and the visit will be canceled. For your safety and the safety of our CarePartners, masks must be worn if you are interacting with any JCMCF staff member. Please note: Visits are only allowed at the designated area. For the safety of our visitors and the privacy of our Residents, visits to room windows are not allowed. At this time due to the high demand for visits, we will only be able to accommodate one visit per Resident per week at this time. Once all Residents have had an opportunity for visits we will re-evaluate this schedule. Please feel free to bring any items that you would like to drop off to your loved one. We will be happy to deliver those for you! https://jacksonmcf.com/new-page daily 0.75 2026-04-01 https://jacksonmcf.com/visitation-options daily 0.75 2021-06-04 https://jacksonmcf.com/virtual-visits daily 0.75 2021-03-03 https://jacksonmcf.com/visitation-info-10212021 daily 0.75 2024-03-06 https://jacksonmcf.com/outdoor-visits-032021 daily 0.75 2021-03-03 https://jacksonmcf.com/careers daily 0.75 2023-11-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f22ec9de12fe40b6dd7e88d/1620674261782-M2AMBWLSVVMDSTRMUDRR/2018+Fall+-+photo+by+Kenny+Price.jpg Careers - Looking for a career in long-term care?
