Nursing Home vs Assisted Living
Published December 4, 2011 | 
I was emailed this link to information about Nursing Homes and Assisted Living Facilities. I thought it was a very easy to understand graphic to get you started on your research should you or someone in your family need a little help now or in the future looking into either one. We have quite a few Nursing Homes and Assisted Living Facilities in the Jacksonville Florida Area. But there are only a few on the Westside. Reading through the article you will find the basic differences between Skilled Nursing Facilities, Nursing Homes and Assisted Living Facilities. The Website http://www.skillednursingfacilities.org/vs-assisted-living/ allows you to copy and embed the graphic onto your website. See Below.
The State of Florida Agency for Healthcare Administration has their Florida Healthcare Finder with a search feature that allows you to look for different types of medical professionals and facilities that they regulate. It is a very helpful tool as well. http://www.floridahealthfinder.gov/index.html

What’s Happening at the Library
Published May 13, 2011 | One of our greatest resources is our Public Library. If you haven’t been to one of the local branches lately you should get out and spend a little time to see what they have to offer. Each branch location is unique and tries to offer information and resources that the local residents find the most useful. You can even go online read books in electronic format, reserve a book to your local branch where ever they may be, receive emails about events at your local branch, when your books are about to be due and much, much more. Of course they have kids events, teen events and specialty group events that are generally free and open to the public. Many groups hold meetings in the meeting rooms, parents and kids use the study rooms for tutoring and research and many branches have early voting.

Westside Libraries
Published September 4, 2009 | Another free resource available to Duval county residents is our libraries. For the price of a signature and photo id you can fill out the short application and get your library card. Our libraries have free access to books, movies, music, internet and much, much more. You can go online with your card and reserve your books music and movies as well as renew your items that have already been checked out. The online service also gives library patrons access to online databases for research, ebooks and getting material from other libraries. Each of the branch libraries has computers with internet access, wireless internet for the laptop users, conference rooms to use as well as study rooms. The children’s area is separated from the main part of the library because little ones have a tendency of getting a little loud.
Take time out to visit your local branch and see what events are taking place this month. Many offer movie nights, storytime for little ones, how-to sessions on various subjects, and teen stuff. So, go to your local library and if you don’t have a library card get one!

Jennings State Forest
Published August 18, 2009 | Some of our most precious resources are available to us for free. As with most parts of Jacksonville, Florida there are parks to play in and libraries to get books to read. When we were cruising around the westside last month we came across a new park called Old Jennings Forest. This is mostly a hiking and horseback riding area. There are some picnic tables and barbeque pits and of course bathroom facilities available. During the early morning hours we came across this place to watch a couple taking out their horses from their trailers to begin the trot through the trails. Jennings State Forest is sponsored by the State of Florida and the Department of Agriculture Division of Forestry to set aside areas for people to hike and ride their horses here in the city limits.
We didn’t get a chance to walk the trails but there is a camping area there as well. You reach the camping area by a forest road off of Live Oak Lane. You should check with the forest ranger to see what the current fees are and if you can take a vehicle on the forest road to the camping area.

Westside Area Government Updates
Published March 4, 2009 | We have finally been able to update the website for our residents and future residents on the Wild Wild Westside of Jacksonville. We have, so far, a listing of the westside area post offices, fire stations and police substations. You can download a PDF file of the fire stations with pictures of each as well.
We also created a Westside Utilities page with information on these services such as phone, electric and cable (to be added later). Right now you can see a listing of the Local TV and Radio Stations that can be downloaded to your computer and/or printed off for later reference.
