What’s available in Palm Bay
Every setting is realistic here
Palm Bay is itself a city of 140,000, which means centers, in-home routes, school collaboration and telehealth are all live options rather than theoretical ones. In a place this size the constraint is almost never whether a service exists — it's capacity at any given moment, and that's exactly what we check on the first call.
