Overview of The Palace at Weston

The Palace at Weston offers assisted living, independent living and memory care in Weston, Florida. In assisted living, residents keep their own apartments while receiving help with dressing, bathing and medication. Independent living combines private housing with community services but no daily care, while memory care provides a secured, supervised setting for someone at risk of wandering.

Having all three care levels in one community may be a good fit for a resident whose needs could grow over time. A resident can move to a different level of care without leaving the community or starting over socially.

The community has 352 beds, which means a larger resident and staff population and typically more programming. Housing choices include studios, where sleeping and living space share one private room; one bedroom apartments, which keep those areas separate; and two bedroom layouts that can suit a couple moving together.

The surrounding area has a Walk Score of 56 out of 100 and is considered somewhat walkable. Some errands can be completed on foot, giving a resident who no longer drives the possibility of handling certain nearby trips independently.

Zachi Shaham serves as administrator. Helen Homes Of Weston Development operates the community.
