Cedar Hill Nursing and Rehab Center in Jacksonville, Florida, is a skilled nursing facility with 120 certified beds and usually about 117 residents a day, and offers both short-term rehabilitation for people recovering between the hospital and home as well as long-term care for those who are frail or dependent on nursing services, and accepts Medicaid and Medicare, which is helpful for those needing financial support, and the center has earned a slightly below average overall CMS rating but holds a much above average rating for quality measures, so some areas do well even if others are average or need improvement. There's a focus on rehabilitative therapy and skilled nursing, which includes a team effort where doctors, nurses, and aides all work together around the clock to help residents, delivering an average of 3.19 nurse hours per resident each day. Cedar Hill specializes in wound care and preventive health-placing attention on nutrition as well as medical treatments-which makes a difference for some residents facing specific health concerns.
Residents have rooms with private bathrooms, cable TV, kitchenettes, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi, and there's a range of amenities like a business room, fitness room, spa, game room, library, arts room, outdoor walking paths, and gardens. The dining room offers restaurant-style seating with food from a professional chef, including options for allergies or diabetes. All-day dining lets residents eat when it works for them. Services like housekeeping, laundry, move-in coordination, and community-sponsored events are routine, and there's community transportation and parking available. The staff offers help with activities of daily living-bathing, dressing, transfers-and provides medication management along with 12 to 16 hours of nursing care daily and a 24-hour call system, which is important for those who can't move around much or need help at any time.
The center's ownership rests with 5888 Blanding Blvd Jacksonville Holdco LLC, with Eliyahu Mirlis as major indirect owner, and managers Gary Cooke and Phuc Tran have led since August 2023. It runs under city or county government ownership and is part of a Continuing Care Retirement Community, meaning there are different levels of care and housing options available on the same campus. Three beds were open in June 2025. The facility has had some inspection issues, with 19 deficiencies recorded, including ones related to infection control (F0880), nutrition and dietary standards (F0812), and equipment safety (F0908), which is something families might want to know about. Staff mainly speak English, and there are programs for resident engagement and daily activities, some of which are run by the residents themselves, offering a sense of routine and community. Cedar Hill tries to create a comfortable place for people needing nursing or rehabilitation, providing a variety of services and amenities to support daily life.
