In-Home Care Services for Boynton Beach Seniors
Senior home care in Boynton Beach looks a little different for every family, so our services fit together in whatever way your loved one needs them. Here's what each one covers.
Senior Home Care
Our caregivers help seniors live safely and comfortably at home, with daily assistance, companionship and personalized support that gives the whole family peace of mind. You only pay for the level of care you need, whether that's a few hours of help each week or full-time care.
Personal Care
A disability affects nearly four in ten Boynton Beach residents aged 75 and over. That can turn a morning shower or getting dressed into the hardest part of the day. Our caregivers offer gentle help with bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting and mobility, always with privacy and respect, so your loved one does what they can and gets a hand with the rest.
Companion Care
Living alone is part of life for about one in four Boynton Beach residents aged 65 and over. That often means long, quiet afternoons with nobody to talk to. Our caregivers bring warmth and friendship along with shared meals, light housekeeping and good conversation, which helps brighten each day and ease loneliness.
24-Hour and Live-In Care
Some seniors need someone close by, day and night. Our around-the-clock care and live-in support means your loved one is never alone, with help getting safely to the bathroom at night or simply a calm, reassuring voice when they wake.
Dementia and Alzheimer's Care
Our caregivers bring calm, consistent support for people living with dementia or Alzheimer's, built around familiar routines that reduce confusion and help home feel safe.
Veterans Home Care
Veterans and surviving spouses can receive personal, companion and 24-hour care through their VA benefits, and we help families with the paperwork and coordination along the way.
Every service plan is customized by our care team, and it can adjust as your loved one's needs change, whether that means adding hours or adding a new kind of help.
Hourly, 24-Hour and Live-In Care in Boynton Beach
Hourly care is flexible and scheduled for certain times of the day or week. That might be a few mornings for a shower and breakfast, or a couple of afternoons for errands and some company. Live-in care means one caregiver stays in the home, helping throughout the day and available overnight as needed, and they'll need a private space to rest, such as a spare bedroom. Families in Boynton Beach who need someone awake all night usually choose 24-hour home care, where caregivers rotate in shifts, typically every 8 to 12 hours. Your care coordinator helps you weigh which one suits your loved one's schedule, health and comfort.
We also offer short-term and respite care, which helps during recovery, after a hospital stay, or when a family caregiver simply needs a break. Couples can have care at the same time, too, with shared caregiver support, so both spouses stay safely in their own home.
Help at Home After a Stay at Bethesda Hospital
Boynton Beach has two hospitals of its own. Bethesda Hospital East, a 401-bed hospital at 2815 S. Seacrest Blvd., serves the east side of town, and Bethesda Hospital West at 9655 Boynton Beach Blvd. cares for western Boynton Beach with an emergency department that's open 24 hours. Both are part of Baptist Health South Florida.
Coming home after a stay at either one is a big moment, and those first days back are often when a steady hand matters most. Our Lantana office works closely with Bethesda Hospital East, discharge planners and other local facilities to make the move from hospital to home a smooth one. Care can begin within 24 to 48 hours after your consultation in most cases.
In-home care after a hospital stay in Boynton Beach can cover help getting in and out of bed, meals, bathing and dressing, or someone there through the night. It can last a few weeks of recovery, or it can carry on for as long as your loved one needs it.
Caregivers Boynton Beach Families Can Trust
Letting someone new into your home is a big step, and we treat it that way. Every caregiver on our team is carefully screened, background-checked, licensed and insured. They're trained in senior safety, mobility and dementia support, and they keep learning through regular continuing education on communication, infection control and conditions like dementia and mobility challenges.
We match caregivers in Boynton Beach to each client by skills, experience and personality, so the relationship feels comfortable and trusting, a lot like family. Our local care management team supports every caregiver, with RN oversight. Christine Mulé, our Administrator and Founder, leads the Lantana team, and Torey Burke, our Backup Admin, is an RN. You can read reviews from the families we care for and hear it in their own words.

Home Care for Boynton Beach Veterans
Boynton Beach is home to 1,856 veterans aged 65 and over, along with the spouses who stood beside them. Elite Senior Home Care™ is a VA Authorized Home Care Provider, and our Lantana office helps veterans and surviving spouses with both the Aid and Attendance Pension and VA Community Care Network (VACCN) enrollment.
Aid and Attendance provides monthly financial help to those who need assistance with daily activities like bathing, dressing or mobility. VACCN lets veterans enrolled in VA health care receive in-home services from authorized providers like us after a referral from their VA primary care provider, and the VA pays us directly for approved services. We also connect families with local Veteran Service Officers who help file applications. There's more detail on our page about veterans home care for Boynton Beach families and surviving spouses.
Paying for Home Care in Boynton Beach
We accept private pay, long-term care insurance, veterans benefits (Aid and Attendance and VACCN), Medicaid Waiver Programs where applicable, and third-party payer options upon approval. Our team can help you look into your coverage options and the financial resources available to your family.
The cost of home care in Boynton Beach depends on the services and hours in your loved one's plan.

How Home Care Starts in Boynton Beach
Getting started takes three easy steps. It begins with a conversation where we get to know your needs and goals, and from there we can quickly tell whether we're a good fit.
Next comes a complimentary in-home or virtual consultation. A care coordinator meets with you and your loved one at home to learn about your situation and build the care plan. Homes here vary quite a bit: 42.1% are single-family houses and 29.0% sit in buildings with ten or more units, so the visit might be to a house with a yard out back or to a condominium with an elevator and a long hallway. The plan takes in the bathroom, the bedroom, how your loved one gets around, and where a live-in caregiver would rest if you need one. Most older householders here, about 84 percent, own their home, and staying in it is usually the whole point.
Then you work with our team to match the right caregiver and set the schedule. We stay in close touch with your family after care begins and adjust the plan as needs change.
