West Palm Beach Independent Living

Much like the rest of Florida, West Palm Beach has a thriving retirement community with 16% of residents over the age of 65. Because of this, you have plenty of West Palm Beach assisted living facility options. In fact, we have over 1,000 listings in our directory, so finding the right location for you shouldn’t be a problem.

Once you find a location, there are plenty of activities the directors of these facilities should take you to. After all, getting plenty of physical and social stimulation is essential for healthy life as a senior. Check out the Palm Beach Mall or head down to the Norton Museum of Art. The Kravis Center for the Performing Arts is another nice choice, as are the Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens.

However, West Palm Beach assisted living can be expensive, especially since the cost of living in the state is high. Though Florida doesn’t have a state income tax, it does have an ad valor-em tax and high property tax. These factors can price some people right out of care facilities in the state.

On average, ALF cost $33,000. For more private care, nursing homes might be something you want to look into. Semi-private rooms cost $78,475 and private rooms cost $84,552 on average in the state. If this is too expensive, consider in home senior care or living in senior apartments, if you don’t need assistance with daily activities. If you do, hospice care, or CCRCs might be a better option. Still, know that it took four years to put together our directory, which is comprehensive. No advertising appears on our site, so everything is unbiased. Any negative reviews are provided by site users, so if you have an opinion about a particular facility, leave a review! You’ll be helping other seniors find their next home.
