Since 1980, The Palace Group has set the standard for Senior Living...
Welcome to The Palace Group of Senior Living Communities. We invite you to visit our beautiful communities in South Florida, and to meet our residents and staff. You'll understand why thousands of families have entrusted the care of their older family members to us.

We founded The Palace Group in 1980 as a 21-bed ALF and have grown to multiple, nationally-renowned and award-winning communities and services, serving over 1,500 residents and 1,100 employees. The Palace offers a choice of care levels including Independent Living, Catered Living, Assisted Living, Nursing & Rehabilitation, Home Health Services, Luxury Living for those 55 & Over, and a Continuing Care Retirement Community.

Even with our growth and success, The Palace Group remains a privately-owned "labor of love." Along with our sons Zack and Haim, we all live nearby; we frequently dine on-site; we know our residents & families. Our hands-on approach means there's no "corporate red tape" that gets in the way of delivering exceptional service, care and memorable experiences.
