My mom was at Jacksonville Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation. It was an outstanding facility. I love it. Her room was a standard nursing home room, but it was great. The staff was awesome, but I think they are definitely understaffed.

My grandfather was a resident of this facility before he passed away due to untreatable cancer. At first glance this facility is, to say the least, depressing. The furnishings look like the cast-offs from the hospital which is across the street and the wall treatments, flooring, and other decor have not been updated in at least 25 years. The rooms are not equipped with the electronic hospital beds that one would expect to find in a facility such as this, but hand-crank operated beds. The one area of the facility which has been updated is a dining room where the more mobile patients eat their meals. Every few minutes, someone trips an alarm and a voice sounds telling the staff to "please close the door", which gets annoying very quickly. However, once you get past the the look of the facility, it is a nice facility. The staff are caring and compassionate. The patients in the facility are there for a variety of reasons, from convalescing from surgery, to hospice care. Even though my grandfather was in the facility for hospice care, and Medicare did not cover physical therapy, the physical therapy staff worked with him to keep him mobile and strong for as long as physically possible. As my family spent the better part of 4 months in the facility, we grew to know the staff, and many of them came to his funeral.
