Island living gets harder without a car
Merritt Island sits between the Indian River and the Banana River, and almost everything is reached by State Road 520 or Courtenay Parkway. Many longtime residents worked at the Space Center or Patrick and retired in canal-front homes along Sykes Creek or the river. It is a wonderful place to age, until driving over the causeways to Cocoa, Rockledge or a Melbourne specialist starts to feel like too much.
That is often when families call us. A caregiver can handle the Publix run on Courtenay, a trip to Merritt Square, or simply be there for conversation and a walk around Kiwanis Island Park so the week does not feel isolated.
Help around the house and yard-side chores
Our homemaker help covers meals, groceries, laundry, changing linens and light housekeeping. For homes on the water, families also ask us to keep an eye on the little things, such as mail piling up or the fridge running low, and let them know.
Hurricane season and out-of-state families
Many Merritt Island parents have children who live out of state, and storm season is when that distance feels biggest. A regular companion visit means someone local helps stock water and groceries before a storm and checks in afterward. Read our out-of-state family guide, our respite care options and our guide for veteran families.
