Find the Right Hospice Care in West Palm Beach, Florida
About 12 hospices currently serve West Palm Beach, including 5 nonprofits and 3 with dedicated inpatient facilities. Use this list to compare options and talk with the hospices that feel right for your family. Finding hospice care in West Palm Beach often begins after JFK Medical Center, St. Mary's in West Palm Beach, Wellington Regional, and Boca Raton Regional. Names you hear on the hospital floor are a useful starting list for your calls — not the only hospice you can choose. West Palm Beach sits in Palm Beach County, which this directory keeps with Southeast Florida, not the Treasure Coast. Stuart and Port St. Lucie are the next region north. Wellington and Boca Raton are the same county and different pages. After dark, the drive follows I-95, Florida's Turnpike, and the causeways. Use this page to compare Medicare-certified hospices that serve West Palm Beach, then confirm the neighborhood or street. If the home is in Boca Raton or Boynton Beach, start there instead of assuming every West Palm Beach listing fits.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hospices in West Palm Beach
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in West Palm Beach?
No. A hospital or physician can share names they work with often. You may still compare any Medicare-certified hospice that will come to the patient’s address. Calling for information does not enroll you.
Should we contact more than one hospice about West Palm Beach?
Yes. Compare who covers the exact address, how soon a nurse can get there, and who answers after hours. A referral is a starting point, not a requirement to use one brand.
Can hospice care be provided at home in West Palm Beach?
Yes. Most hospice care happens where the patient already lives — a house or apartment, or assisted living, memory care, or a nursing facility. Ask the team to confirm that specific address, not only the city or county name.
How quickly can hospice start in West Palm Beach?
When hospice is medically appropriate, many teams begin within about 24–48 hours, and some can start the same day when staffing allows. Ask who comes first and how a night call is handled. Then verify by phone.
Is a West Palm Beach office the same thing as serving West Palm Beach?
No. The office can sit in West Palm Beach while the team covers other counties, or the office can sit elsewhere and still serve a West Palm Beach street. Ask about your loved one's address.
What if the home is near West Palm Beach but in a different city?
Open the page for that city, and keep Palm Beach County as the coverage question. Boca Raton and Boynton Beach are not the same door as West Palm Beach.
Hospice Care in West Palm Beach
Finding hospice care in West Palm Beach
Start with your loved one's street in West Palm Beach, then ask which Medicare-certified hospices will come there. Palm Beach County is what the license covers. Southeast Florida is only a way to look around nearby communities.
What to compare
As you look through the list, it often helps to ask:
- Whether they can come to your loved one's address, and how long that usually takes after hours
- Who answers the phone the first night after a hospital discharge
- Help with aides, medications, and equipment at home
- Whether a short stay in a hospice house is possible if home care is not enough that night
- Medicare quality information and family-experience scores on each profile
Where hospice care happens in West Palm Beach
Most hospice care in West Palm Beach happens where your loved one already lives — at home, in assisted living, or in a nursing home. A short stay in a hospice house is for nights when symptoms need a nurse on site.
Local considerations for West Palm Beach families
This directory currently lists about 12 Medicare-certified hospices that serve West Palm Beach. That count is who can come to an address here — not how many offices sit inside one city.
Families often mix West Palm Beach up with Boca Raton and Boynton Beach. An office in another city is fine when Palm Beach County is on the license — just make them say so. Ask who answers after dark and how long a nurse usually takes to reach that street.
When you are comparing, it often helps to:
- Start with the exact street or ZIP in West Palm Beach — a city name on a brochure is not the same as coverage
- Ask how long a nurse usually takes to reach that address after hours
- If care would start in assisted living or a nursing home, ask how they work with that building
- Open the Palm Beach County page when the home is outside the city limits
- Use Southeast Florida only to scan nearby communities, then come back to the city or county
This page is focused on West Palm Beach itself. Nearby cities and Palm Beach County can help if your family is looking across more than one community.
Where to start
Use your loved one's exact address. If the home is in Palm Beach County, Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Southeast Florida, open that page instead.
