Social Services for Seniors
Please see location details for services offered at each location, including Medicare assistance for seniors.
Palm Medical Centers is an affiliated ACCESS Florida site, a limited extension of the Florida Department of Children and Families program that assists recipients in social and government programs.
More About ACCESS Florida
ACCESS stands for “automated community connection to economic self-sufficiency” – and its name essentially describes its purpose: to easily connect recipients with their public assistance information. This information is available online, 24/7, via a recipient’s MyACCESS account.
Programs accessible via ACCESS include:
- Medicaid: The federal and state public health insurance program for people with low incomes. This reduces healthcare costs and improves access to medical care for low-income adults, children, the elderly, pregnant women, and people with disabilities.
- Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP): This is Florida’s food-assistance program: nutritional support for low-income seniors, individuals, and families, as well as those with disabilities living on fixed incomes. This is the program that provides EBT cards, which look and work like debit cards, but are loaded with SNAP benefits (sometimes called food stamps).
- Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF): Florida’s TANF program provides monthly cash assistance to needy families to help them become self-sufficient.

At Palm Medical Centers, it is also important to us that our patients’ caregivers – the families, loved ones, and others who support an elderly patient on a daily basis – receive the support and assistance they need. For more information, visit our Caregivers page.
