Jackson House

The facility operates under the umbrella of Alvarado Parkway Institute and provides crisis stabilization services for adults experiencing mental health and co-occurring substance use disorders. Nursing staff work as part of a multidisciplinary treatment team alongside psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, and other mental health professionals. The facility operates 24/7 with multiple shift options including PM (2:45pm-11:15pm), mid-shift (10:00am-6:30pm), and NOC (10:45pm-7:15am), with weekend availability required. Nurses at Jackson House serve in charge nurse roles with responsibilities that include medication administration, pharmacotherapy education, safety and behavior monitoring, milieu therapy, group therapy sessions, admissions assistance, MAR audits, and supervision and training of staff nurses. Both Registered Nurses (RNs) and Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) with mental health experience are employed. Current employees describe the work environment as pleasant and engaging, though former staff have raised concerns about inconsistency in leadership and role clarity, particularly regarding non-nursing staff being asked to perform medication-related duties.
