Please stay tuned to the grand opening of our new state of the art replacement facility immediately adjacent to the existing facility. We are so excited to be moving our residents into their beautiful new home by the end of December. The facility has large rooms with private baths, an inviting coffee shop, salon/spa and other awesome amenities. The existing facility was originally built by Florida Hospital in 1958 (62 years ago) on land donated by the late Dr. Phillips and was operated as an acute hospital, until 1964, for the delivery of medical services to the black community. In 1964 the South Atlantic Conference of Seventh-Day Adventists assumed its ownership and operation as a nursing home until 1968. It was at this juncture that Guardian Care, Inc., a 501(c)(3) corporation was formed to continue caring for the community’s long-term nursing needs. From their humble beginnings, today, Guardian Care is a 120 bed skilled nursing home facility located on the corner of John Young Parkway and Church Street. Guardian Care, the recipient of the Bronze and Silver Quality Award, offers skilled rehabilitation services including Speech, Occupational and Physical Therapy. The facility proudly boasts a memory care unit that specializes in providing care and services to individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and other related forms of Dementia.
