We provide Medicare-certified skilled home health care to multiple sclerosis patients across Port St. Lucie, Fort Pierce, Tradition, and the surrounding St. Lucie communities. Our Treasure Coast team includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, and home health aides — direct W-2 employees who know the local medical landscape and the realities of MS care in this part of Florida.

Our Promise
If you choose us, here’s what we promise: clinical care delivered by people who know MS. A care plan built around your specific symptoms, your specific home, and your specific family. Honest answers about what Medicare covers and what it doesn’t. And the kind of communication that means you never feel like you’re chasing us for an update.
If we ever fall short of that, tell us. We will fix it.
Better outcomes at home.
MS specialty care on the Treasure Coast is more limited than in Miami-Dade, Broward, or Palm Beach, but the practices that serve here are well-respected. Our team coordinates with:
- Cleveland Clinic Tradition Hospital and the Cleveland Clinic Florida MS Center network — Cleveland Clinic operates a Multiple Sclerosis Center serving St. Lucie patients, with the Stuart, Vero Beach, and Weston locations connected to the Mellen Center for Multiple Sclerosis at Cleveland Clinic Ohio
- HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital neurology services
- Local Treasure Coast neurology practices
- Patients who continue to see specialists in Palm Beach County or Broward County for established MS care relationships
For MS patients on the Treasure Coast who need to establish or re-establish a specialist relationship, our medical social worker helps coordinate the referral and the scheduling, often leveraging Cleveland Clinic’s connected network.
Starting Care in St. Lucie County
RN initial assessments are typically completed within 24 to 48 hours of a complete physician referral. Our intake line is staffed 24/7 and our Treasure Coast clinicians know how to make distance work.
Hospital Discharge Coordination in St. Lucie County
We coordinate hospital-to-home transitions with Cleveland Clinic Tradition Hospital, HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital, and St. Lucie Medical Center. Bedside intake during discharge is standard practice.
Information Gain: The Treasure Coast Retiree MS Population
St. Lucie County’s MS patient population skews heavily toward retirees who relocated from the Northeast — many diagnosed decades ago, now navigating progressive disease in a different climate. The Treasure Coast offers a quieter pace and lower cost of living than Palm Beach or Broward, which is why so many MS families choose to retire here. The trade-off is fewer MS specialty resources locally — making good home health care especially valuable for patients who can’t easily travel south for every appointment.
Our Treasure Coast team is built around this reality. We do more clinical coordination per patient here, surfacing concerns that would otherwise wait for the next specialist visit and serving as the consistent clinical presence between specialty appointments.
Heat and Hurricane Considerations on the Treasure Coast
The Treasure Coast experiences Florida heat and humidity year-round, with the same Uhthoff’s phenomenon implications for MS patients as elsewhere in South Florida. Hurricane preparedness is especially important here — the Treasure Coast has been directly impacted by major hurricanes in recent years, and MS patients dependent on power require advance planning. We coordinate with St. Lucie County Emergency Management’s Special Needs Registry and Shelter Program for our patients.
Medicare Coverage for St. Lucie MS Patients
Original Medicare covers home health visits at $0 copay for eligible St. Lucie MS patients. Medicare Advantage plans common on the Treasure Coast include Florida Blue Medicare, Humana Medicare, and AvMed. We verify your specific plan benefits before care begins.
