A hospital or rehab discharge, a fall, or a sudden change in Mom’s or Dad’s health can turn “someday” into “this week.” When the timeline is short, call us at 877-575-9900. Your advisor can help you line up the right pros, so the family can focus on Mom or Dad.

Senior Living Options in West Palm Beach

West Palm Beach and the towns around it have a wide range of senior living options. Your advisor can help you figure out which one fits Mom or Dad now, and which will still fit later.

Independent Living

Apartment-style living with meals, housekeeping, transportation, and activities, for Mom or Dad if they don’t need daily hands-on care but are ready to stop keeping up a house.

Assisted Living

Help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and medications, in a residential community. In Florida, assisted living facilities are licensed by the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA).

Memory Care

Communities, or separate areas within a community, designed for people living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Ask each one how it keeps residents safe.

Life Plan Communities and 55+ Communities

Life plan communities (CCRCs) offer several levels of care on one campus. Many 55+ condo communities in the area are age-restricted but don’t provide care, which is an important difference to understand before you commit.

How to Check a Florida Community's License

Before you choose a community, look it up. Florida’s Agency for Health Care Administration runs FloridaHealthFinder, where you can search licensed assisted living facilities by name or location and see licensing details and inspection information: quality.healthfinder.fl.gov/Facility-Search/FacilityLocateSearch. It’s also smart to ask each community directly about its most recent inspection.

Moving Tips for West Palm Beach Families

  • Plan around hurricane season (June 1 to November 30). Keep a backup move date and a plan for the empty house.
  • Move in the morning. Summer heat and afternoon storms make early starts easier on everyone, especially Mom or Dad.
  • Check building rules early. Downtown high-rises, waterfront condos, and senior living communities often have move-in rules, like elevator reservations and set moving hours. Ask each building what it needs from your mover.
  • Watch seasonal traffic. I-95 and Okeechobee Boulevard get busier in the winter season, so build in extra time on move day.
  • Coordinating from out of state? Local pros can help with tours, packing, moving day, and the cleanout. Ask each one how they’ll keep you updated.
  • Hire registered movers. Florida requires movers who do moves within the state to register with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
  • Stay close to what Mom or Dad loves. From El Cid and Flamingo Park to Northwood and the communities west of I-95, your advisor can focus the search near church, doctors, friends, and family.
