This isn't just a maintenance job. It's a place with a 185-year story — and we want you to be a part of it. Jackson County Medical Care Facility has been serving Jackson County for over 185 years. We are a 194-bed, county-owned skilled nursing facility with a simple mission: You are why we're here. The people we interact with every day — our residents, their families, and our CarePartners — are why we exist. A legacy is only as strong as the stories behind it.
