Around the courthouse square and out to the Suwannee
Live Oak sits at the crossroads of I-10, U.S. 90 and U.S. 129, roughly midway between Tallahassee and Jacksonville. Locals know the historic Suwannee County Courthouse downtown, the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park nearby, and Suwannee River State Park to the west, one of Florida's first state parks. The river is a big part of life here, and families still remember the flooding from Hurricane Helene in 2024.
With one of the oldest populations in our service area, Live Oak families often need more than a few hours a week. We serve homes in town and out toward Dowling Park, Suwannee Springs and the communities along U.S. 129, with caregivers who know these roads.
