Daytona Beach Senior AdvisorPalm Coast is Flagler County's largest city and its growth engine, about 109,886 residents in the 2025 estimates against 89,224 in 2020. Planned as a canal-and-golf community in the 1970s, it now stretches from the Intracoastal Waterway and Palm Harbor west past I-95 to Town Center, Seminole Woods and Belle Terre. AdventHealth Palm Coast on SR 100 and AdventHealth Palm Coast Parkway are its hospitals.
Almost all of Flagler County's licensed assisted living is in Palm Coast, split between the older east side near the Parkway and the newer west side around Town Center; the county's two nursing homes are in Palm Coast and Bunnell. Many retirees here moved from the Northeast and have family far away, which shapes how care gets arranged.
