READ MOREAssisted living facilities in the Sunshine State are governed by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration. This agency is responsible for licensing, inspecting and monitoring all of the assisted living communities within Florida.
The average monthly fee for West Palm Beach is $3,763, making the city an attractive choice when compared to others in the state as the typical Floridian pays $4,000. The city is also more affordable than most across the country because the national average fee is $4,500.
Although West Palm Beach’s assisted living average is below the norm for Florida, it’s not the region’s most affordable city. Up the coast in Sebastian, it’s common to find facilities charging $3,350 per month, and inland, Sebring’s average is $3,436. However, costs above West Palm Beach’s are more likely, such as in Cape Coral, where seniors can expect to pay around $4,334.

Florida Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program | (888) 831-0404 | The purpose of the state-funded Long-Term Care Ombudsman program is to educate and assist seniors living in residential care communities. Its trained volunteers, known as ombudsmen, regularly visit facilities to engage with the residents, help them understand their rights and support them if they're in dispute with their facility's owners and managers. The program can also provide copies of inspection reports to help seniors make more informed choices when looking for the ideal assisted living facility in West Palm Beach. |
Florida Department of Veterans Affairs | (727) 319-7440 | The Florida Department of Veterans Affairs is an organization dedicated to helping those who served get the most from its counseling services. It provides support to U.S. military vets and their dependents, focusing on psychological conditions, such as depression and PTSD. It also refers vets and their families to associated organizations, such as Veterans Affairs if they need help claiming benefits, and facilities within the VA West Palm Beach Healthcare System if their needs are medical. |
Palm Beach County Senior Centers | (561) 355-4750 | Palm Beach County operates two senior centers within 15 minutes of West Palm Beach. They're open Monday through Friday, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Membership isn't necessary, and there are normally no costs, but some classes require a nominal fee. The centers focus on health promotion, fun games and education, in addition to administering screenings for preventative health issues. There are also frequent day trips and special events within the facilities, such as birthday celebrations. |
Clinics Can Help | (561) 640-2995 | Clinics Can Help is a nonprofit organization that recycles and reuses medical equipment throughout Palm Beach County. It can loan a wide range of devices to needy residents of all ages. Typically loaned equipment includes wheelchairs, walkers, canes, crutches and nebulizers.
