Cross City Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

Nestled in the heart of Dixie County, Cross City Nursing and Rehabilitation Center provides compassionate skilled nursing and rehabilitation services to seniors in one of Florida's most serene natural settings. Located at 583 NE 351 Highway, this facility serves residents of Cross City and the surrounding Nature Coast communities with dedicated, around-the-clock care. Under the management of Maximus Healthcare Group, the center maintains a strong commitment to individualized care plans, clinical excellence, and the dignity of every resident. Maximus Healthcare Group brings operational experience and a patient-centered philosophy to ensure families feel confident in the level of care their loved ones receive. Cross City offers a peaceful, small-town atmosphere that many seniors find deeply comforting. Just a short drive away lies Manatee Springs State Park, where the crystal-clear springs of the Suwannee River basin draw nature lovers year-round — a landscape that can inspire calm and connection to the natural world. The nearby town of Chiefland, roughly 15 miles south, provides access to everyday conveniences including groceries, pharmacies, and local dining options along with a Walmart Supercenter for families visiting their loved ones. For families with medical concerns, UF Health Shands in Gainesville — one of the region's premier academic medical centers — is approximately 60 miles to the east and serves as a top-tier referral resource. Closer to home, Nature Coast Regional Hospital in Williston provides additional emergency and acute care coverage for the area. The rural character of Dixie County means residents enjoy a slower, quieter pace of life, with the sights and sounds of the Florida wilderness — from the Suwannee River lowlands to the vast Suwannee River State Forest — providing a backdrop unlike any urban facility can offer. For seniors who have spent their lives connected to Florida's natural heritage, Cross City Nursing and Rehabilitation Center offers a sense of place that truly feels like home.
