About Cedar Hill Nursing and Rehab Center

+
Cedar Hill Nursing and Rehab Center, located at 5888 Blanding Boulevard in Jacksonville's established Westside community, provides skilled nursing and rehabilitation services to seniors across the greater Jacksonville area. Under the leadership of management by Eliyahu Mirlis, Cedar Hill operates with a hands-on, personally accountable approach to resident care that larger corporate chains often cannot match. Blanding Boulevard is one of Jacksonville's major commercial and residential corridors on the city's west side, connecting residents to an array of everyday conveniences. The Oakleaf Town Center, one of Clay County's premier shopping destinations, is just a short drive south, offering everything from grocery stores and pharmacies to restaurants and specialty retailers. Orange Park Mall and the many dining options along Blanding Blvd — including familiar chains and local spots — make family visits easy and convenient. For healthcare access, Cedar Hill is well-positioned near UF Health Jacksonville (formerly Shands Jacksonville), a Level I Trauma Center and academic medical center that serves as the region's hub for complex and specialized care. Naval Air Station Jacksonville, one of the largest naval installations in the Southeast, borders the community's wider neighborhood and contributes to the area's strong sense of community identity. Families with military connections will find the Westside familiar and welcoming. The surrounding area also includes peaceful residential neighborhoods and several parks, providing a grounded, community-rooted setting for residents and their loved ones. Cedar Hill's skilled nursing team provides round-the-clock care, rehabilitation therapy, and chronic disease management tailored to each resident's medical needs and personal goals. Whether a resident is recovering from a joint replacement, managing a complex diagnosis, or requiring long-term nursing support, Cedar Hill's experienced staff work collaboratively with families and physicians to deliver high-quality, individualized care every day.
