Hibiscus Palace

Lake Worth Beach, an eclectic, artsy city in Palm Beach County known for its downtown murals and diverse population, is home to Hibiscus Palace, a six-bed residence on 14th Avenue North. At that size, the facility operates as a single household, with a small caregiving staff working directly with a handful of residents rather than managing a larger institutional structure. Lake Worth's mix of historic bungalows and newer infill housing includes a number of small licensed care homes tucked into otherwise ordinary residential blocks. A useful question to ask on a tour is how the home structures social time and whether residents have opportunities to get outside the house regularly, not just within it.
