Smiles And Loving Care Assisted Living Facility

Merritt Island sits between the Indian River and the Banana River on Florida's Space Coast, within view of the launch pads at Kennedy Space Center just across the water, and it's where Smiles And Loving Care Assisted Living Facility operates a 6-bed assisted living home at 1065 Garden Road. Brevard County's identity has long been tied to the space program, and many longtime residents here worked at the Cape during their careers, which can make for shared history among neighbors in a small home like this one. At six beds, care tends to be delivered by a small, unchanging team rather than a rotating staff working shifts. A good question to ask is how the home handles severe weather planning, since Merritt Island's barrier-island geography puts it in a different evacuation zone than inland Brevard County.
