The Palms of Florida AFCH in Merritt Island, Florida offers assisted-living care for residents who need help with activities of daily living but do not require skilled nursing. Trained staff members are on duty at all hours to assist with bathing, dressing, mobility, medication management, and routine health observations, providing a dependable layer of oversight while supporting each resident’s independence.

Additional care features are available for residents with more specific needs. The community accepts individuals who require diabetes management, including blood glucose monitoring, medication administration, and appropriate meal planning. Families seeking temporary placement can use the respite and short-term stay option, which delivers the same staffing ratios and support protocols as permanent residency. Coordination with outside physicians and therapy providers is arranged when ordered, ensuring continuity of medical oversight.

Accommodations include a mix of private and shared rooms, and residents may bring furnishings to personalize their space. Some units are pet friendly, some have direct access to outdoor areas, and some are outfitted with wheelchair-accessible showers; not every room includes all of these features. Routine maintenance and climate control are handled by on-site staff.

Dining services provide three daily meals plus snacks, all prepared in the community kitchen. Menus can accommodate kosher and vegetarian diets alongside standard fare, and adjustments are made for physician-ordered dietary restrictions. Staff members are available in the dining room to help residents who need assistance with seating, utensil use, or portion control.

Residents have access to an activity center that hosts clubs and community groups for games, crafts, and discussion. Outdoor areas are open to residents who want fresh air, light exercise, or a quiet place to sit. Staff coordinate these activities, monitor participation, and arrange transportation for off-site events when scheduled.
