Which hospice providers are licensed in the Jacksonville area?
3 AHCA-licensed hospice providers list an office address in Duval, St. Johns, Clay, Nassau and Baker counties (Duval 3). Florida licenses hospices by service area, so a provider's reach is wider than its office.
Hospice care can be delivered at home, in an assisted living facility or in a nursing home; Medicare covers it for people with a life expectancy of six months or less who choose comfort-focused care.

What is the difference between assisted living and memory care in Florida?
Assisted living is a licensed ALF providing housing, meals and personal care; memory care is a secured dementia program inside a licensed ALF. Both operate under the same AHCA ALF license, and neither is a nursing home.
| Assisted living | Memory care | |
|---|---|---|
| Florida license | Assisted Living Facility (ALF) license from AHCA | The same ALF license — Florida has no separate memory care license |
| What it is | Housing, meals, personal care and help with medications | A secured, dementia-focused program or wing inside an ALF, with ADRD-trained staff |
| What it isn't | Not a nursing home — no 24-hour skilled nursing | Not a license category of its own; ECC, LNS and LMH are not memory care licenses |
| Who it fits | Adults who need daily help but are largely independent | People with Alzheimer's or related dementia who need supervision and a secure setting |
| Typical Jacksonville cost (2026) | $3,200–$5,500/mo | $4,500–$6,800/mo |
| Medicaid | SMMC LTC can pay care services (not rent) where the ALF contracts with the plan | Same — SMMC LTC covers services; room and board is private pay |
