UNIVERSITY CROSSING

University Crossing provides noticeably more nursing coverage than what most [Florida nursing homes](/florida/jacksonville) offer. Residents there receive about 5.73 total nurse hours per day, compared to the Florida average of 3.87, which works out to roughly an hour and a half more hands-on care each day. The registered nurse numbers are especially striking - University Crossing averages 1.08 RN hours per resident daily, more than double the Florida average of 0.52. In practical terms, that means a trained RN is more consistently available throughout the day to catch health changes early, manage medications, and respond to concerns rather than leaving those responsibilities primarily to aides or lower-level staff. For families worried about whether their loved one will get timely attention, these numbers are a meaningful indicator that the facility is investing in qualified, professional staff.
