Find Personal Care Homes near Boynton Beach, FL

Like many seaside escapes in the Miami metro area, Boynton Beach features plenty of resort-style communities, country clubs, and sandy shorelines.

In Boynton Beach, residential care homes — sometimes called care homes, board and care homes, group homes, or personal care homes — are often houses in residential neighborhoods that are adapted, equipped, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually 10 or less. Similar to assisted living but in a smaller, more residential setting, these homes provide supervision, organized events, and assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). This means care homes can help with everyday routines but typically do not provide 24-hour skilled nursing assistance.

Like many of its neighboring seaside cities in the Miami metro area, Boynton Beach features resort-style communities, country clubs, and miles of sandy shoreline that keep tourists busy throughout the year. But what makes this beach town stand out is its variety of parks and natural areas that allow residents and visitors to venture into the lush vegetation of Southeast Florida.

Boynton Beach Oceanfront Park has remained a local-favorite swimming area for families since the early 1900s when the town began developing from a basic train depot and hotel into a quiet suburban getaway. A couple blocks inland, Dewey Park is a memorable urban greenspace with colorful sculptures and other art pieces installed throughout. Only a five-minute walk from there is the Schoolhouse Children’s Museum and Learning Center, a perfect place to take the grandkids for a playful, interactive educational experience. If you’re looking for a walk on the wild side, however, you’ll want to head back toward the Atlantic. Mangrove Park’s raised walkways take you through the tropical brush along the lagoon separating the mainland from the Boynton Beach’s barrier island — and be sure to look out for wildlife. Across the lagoon, the forested trails and boardwalks of Ocean Ridge Hammock Park lead hikers straight into the thick patch of mangroves, palms, and buttonwood between the road and the coastline, where an unguarded, pristine beach is waiting on the other side.
