JCMCF
Our Mission
We provide long term care and short term rehabilitation. We offer psychological services, food service and laundry service. JCMCF is regulated under Public Act 280 which established the County Medical Care Facility. This is the act that eliminated the term ‘poor house’ or ‘poor farm’ and brought us the term ‘County Medical Care Facility.’ We have a responsibility to take those on Medicaid.
We are the home of up to 194 Residents and the provider for 302 CarePartners and their families. We have a variety of different types of Elders from those living with Dementia and Alzheimer’s to those who have lost limbs to diabetes.
We are not a holding ground for people to go and die. We are a place for people to find new life, new hope, and new joy.
