JACKSONVILLE & NORTHEAST FLORIDA · GERIATRIC MEDICINE
Geriatric Care in Jacksonville & Northeast Florida
Florida Elder Care brings specialized geriatric medicine to Jacksonville-area seniors through the CMS GUIDE Dementia Care Model and the upcoming CMS ACCESS Model — Medicare-covered programs delivered via telehealth, remote monitoring, and coordination with your Northeast Florida care team. Serving Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra Beach, Orange Park, Fernandina Beach, Palm Coast, and communities across Duval, St. Johns, Clay, Nassau, and Flagler counties.
Why Northeast Florida Families Choose Florida Elder Care
Duval County and surrounding Northeast Florida counties are home to a large and growing population of Medicare-eligible seniors, with especially strong growth in St. Johns, Clay, and Flagler counties. Many of these seniors are managing dementia, chronic kidney disease, complex hypertension, or diabetes — and struggle to access a board-certified geriatrician who is also participating in CMS innovation models like GUIDE.
Our physician team is triple board-certified in Geriatrics, Nephrology, and Internal Medicine — providing a depth of specialty training that’s rarely available in a single provider. We coordinate with Baptist Health, UF Health Jacksonville, Mayo Clinic Jacksonville, and Ascension St. Vincent’s as supporting institutions for your Northeast Florida care.
How We Serve Jacksonville-Area Seniors
We serve Jacksonville-area families primarily through CMS-approved telehealth-enabled care models. Both the GUIDE Model and ACCESS Model were designed for remote care and connected devices — meaning Northeast Florida seniors receive the same high-quality, geriatrician-led team care as patients near our Loxahatchee office.
- CMS GUIDE Dementia Care: Geriatrician, nurse practitioner, and care navigator — via telehealth with 24/7 support line and up to $2,625 per year in respite services (effective July 1, 2026)
- CMS ACCESS Model (July 2026): Remote monitoring for blood pressure, glucose, and chronic condition metrics with outcome-aligned care
- Care Coordination: Collaboration with your Jacksonville-area primary care, cardiologist, nephrologist, and home health agency
- Caregiver Support: Northeast Florida caregivers get 24/7 phone support, education, and respite coordination via GUIDE

The CMS ACCESS Model Is Live in Northeast Florida
Florida Elder Care is part of the first ACCESS cohort nationwide, and enrollment is open now for Medicare beneficiaries in Jacksonville and throughout Northeast Florida. The program combines remote monitoring, telehealth visits, and outcome-aligned team care across all four tracks: early cardio-kidney-metabolic conditions (high blood pressure, cholesterol, prediabetes, weight), diabetes, kidney disease & heart disease, chronic knee, hip, and back pain, and depression or anxiety.
Services come at low or no cost, you keep your own local doctors, and Medicare pays us in full only when your health measurably improves.
