Springs country, a short drive from Gainesville
High Springs began as a railroad and phosphate town in the 1880s and was incorporated in 1892. Today the historic downtown, with the Priest Theatre, antique shops and the old railroad depot, sits in the middle of some of Florida's most famous springs: Ginnie Springs, Poe Springs, Gilchrist Blue Springs State Park and O'Leno State Park, all near the Santa Fe River. Gainesville is about 30 minutes away via U.S. 441.
Many High Springs families split life between doctors in Gainesville and home. We help with both: rides down U.S. 441 to appointments, medication reminders and steady care at home in between.
