Dolphin Pointe Health Care

Dolphin Pointe Health Care Center is a skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility located in Jacksonville's Arlington neighborhood on the St. Johns River. The center offers inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation services including physical therapy, aquatic therapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology, all under one roof.

The facility provides 24-hour licensed nursing care for patients recovering from surgery, stroke, cardiac events, and serious injuries. Services include IV therapy, wound management, and post-surgical monitoring in private suites with private bathrooms. The center also offers ongoing skilled nursing care for residents requiring daily support in a supervised setting, serving patients from across Duval County including Arlington, University Park, Mandarin, Orange Park, and surrounding communities.

Dolphin Pointe features two heated therapy pools equipped with underwater treadmills and video feedback, a full-size therapy gym overlooking the St. Johns River, and a large outpatient-capable therapy space. The facility was designed with private suites and private baths throughout, and sits on a 60-acre campus in the Arlington neighborhood. The clinical team partners with Jacksonville University for continuing education to stay current on the latest rehabilitation methods.

Therapy programs address orthopedic recovery including joint replacements, fractures, and sports injuries; neurological conditions; occupational therapy for activities of daily living; and speech-language pathology for communication disorders and swallowing difficulties. Treatment plans are built around individualized goals rather than one-size programs, with licensed therapists providing one-on-one care and monitoring progress toward specific functional milestones.

The center includes wellness programs addressing the whole person, with therapeutic exercise groups and social activities designed to support emotional and mental health during recovery. The waterfront setting on the St. Johns River includes outdoor courtyards and garden paths providing space for residents and patients to decompress outside the clinical environment.
