Home Care In Palm Beach, FL

Home Care Palm Beach, FL

They say that your golden years are the best years of your life. For most older Americans, that's how it should be - a time to relax, reflect, and live life in a familiar place. After all, senior citizens in the U.S. have worked tirelessly to build a better economy, serve their communities, and raise families.

However, as seniors grow older, completing daily tasks like showering and enjoying activities such as visiting the historic Worth Avenue Clock Tower gets harder without someone by their side. Unfortunately, many older Americans aren't able to rely on their adult children for help. The reality in today's world is that family members do not have the skills or time to dedicate to caring for their parents. That's where Always Best Care Senior Services comes in.

Our in-home care services are for people who prefer to stay at home as they grow older but need ongoing care that family or friends cannot provide. More and more older adults prefer to live far away from long-term, institutionalized facilities and closer to the place where they feel most comfortable - their home. Home care in Palm Beach, FL is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

The Always Best Care Difference

Since 1996, Always Best Care has provided non-medical in-home care for seniors to help them maintain a healthy lifestyle as they get older. We are proud to have helped more than 25,000 seniors maintain higher levels of dignity and respect. We focus on providing seniors with the highest level of in-home care available so that they may live happily and independently.

Unlike some senior care companies, we genuinely want to be included in our clients' lives. We believe that personalized care is always the better option over a "one size fits all" approach. To make sure our senior clients receive the best care possible, we pair them with compassionate caregivers who understand their unique needs. That way, they may provide care accordingly without compromising their wellbeing.

The Always Best Care difference lies in life's little moments - where compassionate care and trustworthy experience come together to help seniors live a fruitful, healthy life. Whether you are an aging adult that can't quite keep up with life's daily tasks or the child of a senior who needs regular in-home services, Always Best Care is here to help.

“We have been using Always Best Care for my mom for two years now and I am hear to say that they are the best we have been with. The Caregivers go above and beyond what we expect and treat my with nothing but love. Fran and Steve and Claudia are with us 24/7 everyday. It has been a real rollercoaster with my mom’s issues, but they are definitely our rock of support. Michelle, who is mom’s full time daytime caregiver has been with her since we started and she is like part of the family. She calls and checks on her off hours because she cares and there is no price you can put on that. If you do not try this agency, you are missing out.”

“I am a current client of this provider lways Best Care helped our family secure free in-home care services through Veterans Affairs. VA Community Care benefits were completely unknown to us when we were looking for affordable care for mom and dad. Always Best Care helped us navigate through obtaining the caregiver benefits. Mom received free respite care to help give her a break from caregiver duties while caring for Dad. Their caregivers were kind and reliable, making our experience wonderful. Highly recommended.”

Starting with the initial consultation by Steve to learn about mom's personal care needs to the follow-up visit of a registered nurse to the eventual placement of a compassionate caregiver; every step of their service was well thought out and they truly delivered on providing a level of care for mom that exceeded our families (and mom's) expectations. It can be very nerve racking to find and leave your loved one with a caregiver but this company gets that and they were just fantastic. Thank you Always Best Care!”

“I have been utilizing Always Best Care Senior Services for 2 years to care 24/7 for my elderly parents. I am very pleased with their services. The Owners and Office Staff bend over backwards to make sure that there is always coverage, to alert my parents Caregiver Team of any requests that I make, to advise me when there is an issue with my parents or their dog. The Caregiver Team working with my parents are all compassionate and caring, knowledgeable and skilled. Sadly, my Father passed away in the fall of 2020. Each of their Caregivers, the Owners and the Office Staff expressed to me that they would like to attend his memorial service when we are able to have it. During the weeks he was slipping away, the Caregiver team not only took care of my parents, they looked after me, gently reminding me to eat, rest or take a break. They truly care not only for my parents, but for all our family. I can’t begin to express what a comfort it has been to have them caring for my parents, especially during the pandemic when visits are prohibited. They are my eyes and ears. Working intimately with my parents, the Caregivers are very tuned in to even subtle changes. If you are in the market and looking for a senior services/home health care company, I strongly urge you to reach out to Always Best Care Senior Services. You’ll be happy you did.”

“I have worked with, and explored working with, various agencies and registries in the Palm Beach County area. I am picky. Always Best Care is qualitatively a notch above every other organization I've encountered. Responsive. Amiable. Professional. The aide, Islande, who has worked with my mom is top-notch for our needs. And . . . I have no doubt Steve (the agency's owner) and his staff would strive to find someone else, if it hadn't been a fit. If you are looking for Nursing Care, I strongly recommend giving Always Best Care a chance. BTW: It is important to understand that working with an Nursing Agency (like Always Best Care), means the staff are employees, not independent contractors (as they are when working through a Nursing Registry). An Agency is vested in having good employees, and a good agency wants you to be happy. But even all Agencies are not created equal. I worked with one (Alternative Health Care) where aides did not always show up! That was painful and incredibly stressful, and the manager and other higher-up staff didn't give a hoot.”

“Always Best Care has been wonderful in many ways. Steve Snell, Owner and Area Representative, and Beverly Casper, RN were patient, kind and respectful while my Dad came to terms with the idea that he really did need help. They were flexible and open and that made all the difference. My Dad's aide Fabienne is responsible and caring and now more of a companion than aide. Steve and his scheduling team has been proactive about any changes that needed to occur and very good about communicating with me both by phone and email. Having them on board has lessened the worry I feel on a daily basis. My mother had a prolonged illness and through the years we dealt with many health care agencies. The attention and care we have received from Always Best Care is, by far, the best we ever have experienced and we are very grateful to have found them.”

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in Palm Beach, FL?

lm-check

Home is where the heart is. While that saying can sound a tad cliche, it is especially true for many seniors living in America. When given a choice, older adults most often prefer to grow older at home. An AARP study found that three out of four adults over the age of 50 want to stay in their homes and communities as they age.

lm-check

When you begin to think about why, it makes sense. Home offers a sense of security, comfort, and familiarity.

lm-check

The truth is, as we age, we begin to rely on others for help. When a family is too busy or lives too far away to fulfill this role, in-home senior care is often the best solution. Home care services allow seniors to enjoy personal independence while also receiving trustworthy assistance from a trained caregiver.

lm-check

At Always Best Care, we offer a comprehensive range of home care services to help seniors stay healthy while they get the help they need to remain independent. As your senior loved one gets older, giving them the gift of senior care is one of the best ways to show your love, even if you live far away.

Home Care Palm Beach, FL
Respite Care

Respite Care Services

According to AARP, more than 53 million adults living in the U.S. provide care to someone over 50 years old. Unfortunately, these caregivers experience stress, exhaustion, and even depression. Our respite care services help family caregivers address urgent obligations, spend time with their children, and enjoy nearby activities. Perhaps more importantly, respite care gives family members time to recharge and regroup. Taking personal time to de-stress reduces the risk of caregiver burnout. So, if you've always wanted to eat at the local Meat Market Steakhouse Palm Beach or visit Phipps Plaza Historic Landmark, don't feel bad. Doing so is great for both you and your loved one.

At the end of the day, our goal is to become a valuable part of your senior's daily routine. That way, we may help give them the highest quality of life possible. We know that staying at home is important for your loved one, and we are here to help make sure that is possible.

If you have been on the fence about non-medical home care, there has never been a better time than now to give your senior the care, assistance, and companionship they deserve.

 In-Home Care Palm Beach, FL

Benefits of Home Care in Palm Beach, FL

Always Best Care in-home services are for older adults who prefer to stay at home but need ongoing care that friends and family cannot provide. In-home care is a safe, effective way for seniors to age gracefully in a familiar place and live independent, non-institutionalized lives. The benefits of non-medical home care are numerous. Here are just a few reasons to consider senior care services from Always Best Care:

Always Best Care offers a full array of care options for patients at all levels of health. With our trusted elderly care services, your loved one will receive the level of care necessary for them to enjoy the highest possible quality of life.

Aging in Place: The Preferred Choice for Most Seniors

While it's true that some seniors have complicated medical needs that prevent them from staying at home, aging in place is often the best arrangement for seniors and their families. With a trusted caregiver, seniors have the opportunity to live with a sense of dignity and do so as they see fit - something that is unavailable to many older people today.

In-home care makes it possible for millions of seniors to age in place every year. Rather than moving to a strange nursing home, seniors have the chance to stay at home where they feel the happiest and most comfortable.

Here are just a few of the reasons why older men and women prefer to age at home:

How much does a senior's home truly mean to them?

A study published by the American Society on Aging found that more than half of seniors say their home's emotional value means more than how much their home is worth in monetary value. It stands to reason, then, that a senior's home is where they want to grow old.

With the help of elderly care in Palm Beach, FL, seniors don't have to age in a sterilized care facility. Instead, they can age gracefully in the place they want to be most: their home. In contrast, seniors who move to a long-term care facility must adapt to new environments, new people, and new systems that the facility implements. At this stage in life, this kind of drastic change can be more harmful than helpful.

Institutional care facilities like nursing homes often put large groups of people together to live in one location. On any given day, dozens of staff members and caregivers run in and out of these facilities. Being around so many new people in a relatively small living environment can be dangerous for a seniors' health and wellbeing. When you consider that thousands of seniors passed away in nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, opting for in-home care is often a safer, healthier choice for seniors.

Aging in place has been shown to improve seniors' quality of life, which helps boost physical health and also helps insulate them from viral and bacterial risks found in elderly living facilities.

For many seniors, the ability to live independently with assistance from a caregiver is a priceless option. With in-home care, seniors experience a higher level of independence and freedom - much more so than in other settings like a nursing home. When a senior has the chance to age in place, they get to live life on their own terms, inside the house that they helped make into a home. More independence means more control over their personal lives, too, which leads to increased levels of fulfillment, happiness, and personal gratification. Over time, these positive feelings can manifest into a healthier, longer life.

More independence, a healthier life, and increased comfort are only a few benefits of aging in place. You have to take into consideration the role of cost and convenience. Simply put, it's usually easier and more affordable to help seniors age in place than it is to move them into an institutional care facility. According to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, seniors who age in the comfort of their homes can save thousands of dollars per month.

In-home care services from Always Best Care, for instance, are often less expensive than long-term solutions, which can cost upwards of six figures per year. To make matters worse, many residential care facilities are reluctant to accept long-term care insurance and other types of payment assistance.

With Always Best Care's home care services, seniors and their families have a greater level of control over their care plans. In-home care gives seniors the chance to form a bond with a trusted caregiver and also receive unmatched care that is catered to their needs. In long-term care facilities, seniors and their loved ones have much less control over their care plan and have less of a say in who provides their care.

 Elderly Care Palm Beach, FL

Affordable Care

In-home care is a valuable resource that empowers seniors to age in place on their own terms. However, a big concern for many families and their loved ones is how much in-home care costs. If you're worried that in-home care is too expensive, you may be pleasantly surprised to learn that it is one of the most affordable senior care arrangements available.

Typically, hiring an Always Best Care in-home caregiver for a few hours a week is more affordable than sending your loved one to a long-term care facility. This is true even for seniors with more complex care needs.

At Always Best Care, we will work closely with you and your family to develop a Care Plan that not only meets your care needs, but your budget requirements, too. Once we discover the level of care that you or your senior need, we develop an in-home care plan that you can afford.

In addition to our flexible care options, families should also consider the following resources to help offset potential home care costs:

If your loved one qualifies, Medicaid may help reduce in-home care costs. Review your FL's Medicaid program laws and benefits, and make sure your senior's financial and medical needs meet Medicaid eligibility requirements.
Attendance and aid benefits through military service can cover a portion of the costs associated with in-home care for veterans and their spouses.
Many senior care services like in-home care are included in long-term care insurance options. Research different long-term care solutions to find a plan that provides coverage for senior care.
Home care can be included as part of a senior's private insurance plan. Read over your loved one's insurance policy carefully or speak with their insurance provider to determine if in-home care is covered.
Depending on the life insurance plan, you may be able to apply your policy toward long-term care. You may be able to use long-term-care coverage to help pay for in-home elderly care.
 Senior Care Palm Beach, FL

Compassionate Care. Trusted Caregivers.

When you or your senior loved one needs assistance managing daily tasks at home, finding a qualified caregiver can be challenging. It takes a special kind of person to provide reliable care for your senior loved one. However, a caregiver's role involves more than meal preparation and medication reminders. Many seniors rely on their caregivers for companionship, too.

Our companion care services give seniors the chance to socialize in a safe environment and engage in activities at home. These important efforts boost morale and provide much-needed relief from repetitive daily routines. A one-on-one, engaging conversation can sharpen seniors' minds and give them something in which to be excited.

At Always Best Care, we only hire care providers that we would trust to care for our own loved ones. Our senior caregivers in Palm Beach, FL understand how important it is to listen and communicate with their seniors. A seemingly small interaction, like a short hug goodbye, can make a major difference in a senior's day. Instead of battling against feelings of isolation, seniors begin to look forward to seeing their caregiver each week.

Understanding the nuances of senior care is just one of the reasons why our care providers are so great at their job.

Unlike some senior care companies, our caregivers must undergo extensive training before they work for Always Best Care. In addition, our caregivers receive ongoing training throughout the year. This training ensures that their standard of care matches up to the high standards we've come to expect. During this training, they will brush up on their communication skills, safety awareness, and symptom spotting. That way, your loved one receives the highest level of non-medical home care from day one.

Assisted Living Referral Services

While it's true that many seniors prefer to age at home, sometimes in-home care isn't the best fit. For those seniors and their families, choosing an assisted living facility makes more sense. Unfortunately, finding the optimal care facility is easier said than done in today's day and age. That's when Always Best Care's assisted living referral services begin to make a lot of sense.

Assisted living is a form of housing intended for seniors who require varying degrees of medical and personal attention. Accommodations may include single rooms, apartments, or shared living arrangements. Assisted living communities are typically designed to resemble a home-like environment and are physically constructed to encourage the independence of residents.


Respite Care Palm Beach, FL

At assisted living communities, seniors receive help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating.

FORT PIERCE, Fla. — The man charged with attempting to assassinate Donald Trump when he was running for president last year delivered the opening statement in his own trial Thursday.

Ryan Routh was arrested after a Secret Service agent said he spotted him holding a rifle near where Trump was golfing at his West Palm Beach club in September 2024.

Besides being charged with attempting to assassinate a presidential candidate, Routh faces four other counts, including attempting to assault a federal officer. If convicted on the attempted assassination charge, he faces a possible life sentence. Routh has pleaded not guilty.

After Routh became dissatisfied with his defense attorneys, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon gave him permission to represent himself in court. He did so during jury selection, which began on Monday, but ran into trouble with Judge Cannon soon after he started his opening statement.

Addressing the jury on Thursday, he began with a series of vague statements and questions with little direct relevance to the events and crimes he's charged with. "Why are we here?" he asked. "Is it not to care for one another and to hold one another?"

Judge Cannon interrupted and warned him, saying "What I have heard clearly goes beyond any relevant evidence in the case." And she ended his opening statement early before he was finished.

In his opening, federal prosecutor John Shipley told jurors that Routh wanted to ensure that voters would not be able to elect Donald Trump as president in 2024. "The defendant decided to take the choice away from the American voters," he said. The plot Routh is charged with, he said, "was carefully crafted and deadly serious."

Former Secret Service agent Robert Fercano, now with the Department of Homeland Security, testified about his encounter with a man he first saw as a "face in the bushes" on September 15 last year as then-Presidential candidate Trump was golfing at his West Palm Beach club.

As he scanned the 6th hole of the golf course, ahead of where Trump was playing, Fercano said, "I encountered what appeared to be the face of an individual (and) the barrel of a weapon protruding from the fence line."

Fercano testified he got off his golf cart and said, "Hey sir!" At first, he said, he thought he was possibly encountering a homeless person and there wasn't an imminent threat. In response, he said, "I heard what appeared to be a groan and the subject smiled at me."

At about the same time, Fercano told jurors he saw a gun barrel protruding from the fence line, which moved toward him as he backed away. He says he also noticed ballistic "bulletproof vest" plates positioned on the fence. Fercano, a former Marine and trained marksman, said, "This appeared to be a textbook ambush scenario."

In the courtroom, Fercano identified Routh as the gunman. He said he was no more than five feet from the fence line where the gunman was positioned and that he recognized Routh's "particular jawline and facial features."

In his cross-examination, Routh's first question of Fercano was, "Isn't it good to be alive?" Fercano agreed that it was and addressed Routh as the gunman he saw that day. When Routh asked why the gunman hadn't used his weapon to fire on Fercano that day, the former Secret Service agent replied, "I don't know your mindset. I do know the gun barrel that day was pointed at my face."

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a tropical wave expected to move off the coast of Africa by Friday, Sept. 12.

Conditions could support some development as it moves west or west-northwest across the Atlantic.

The appearance of the wave on the National Hurricane Center's tropical outlook map comes the day after the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season on Sept. 10.

It was the "first climatological peak of the Atlantic hurricane season in nearly a decade without a named storm in the basin," AccuWeather Lead Hurricane Expert Alex DaSilva said.

"No tropical storms or hurricanes over the Atlantic basin on Sept. 10 has only happened three times over the last 30 years," DaSilva said.

The National Hurricane Center currently is tracking two tropical waves in the Atlantic basin, which covers the northern Atlantic, Gulf and Caribbean, along with the one expected to move off Africa.

? September hurricane season forecast: Savor the break, but trouble is brewing in back half

The next named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season will be Gabrielle.

What tropical waves, disturbances are in Atlantic basin now?

A tropical wave is forecast to emerge offshore of west Africa by Friday.

Environmental conditions could support some slow development of this system over the weekend and into early nextweek while the wave moves toward the west or west-northwest at 10 to 15 mph over the eastern and central tropical Atlantic.

More tropical waves:

What do the colored, hatched areas on the NOAA map mean?

The hatched areas on the National Hurricane Center's tropical outlook map indicate "areas where a tropical cyclone — which could be a tropical depression, tropical storm or hurricane — could develop," said National Hurricane Center Deputy Director Jamie Rhome.

The colors make it visibly clear how likely a system could develop, with yellow being low, orange medium, and red high.

The National Hurricane Center generally doesn't issue tropical advisories until there is a named storm, but there is an exception.

"If a system is near land and there is potential for development, the National Hurricane Center won't wait before it issues advisories, even if the system hasn't become an actual storm. This gives residents time to prepare," Rhome said.

Colorado State University predicting tropics to become more active

In its two-week forecast for Sept. 3-16, Colorado State University forecasters are predicting activity will pick up over the next couple of weeks.

"Global model ensembles are pretty aggressive with additional tropical cyclone development in days 8 through 14, with potential formations in the eastern Atlantic as well as in the western Caribbean/southern Gulf," the CSU forecast said.

"The primary threat formation area for major hurricanes in early- to mid-September is in the eastern and central tropical Atlantic."

Is a hurricane coming to Florida?

No. The National Hurricane Center is monitoring three tropical waves but it's too early at this time to determine if there will be any impact to Florida or the U.S.

? Excessive rainfall forecast

Officials warn residents not to become complacent, though, since activity is expected to pick up later this month and conditions that have helped prevent storms from developing — dry air and wind shear — are expected to dissipate.

Of special concern are storms that develop close to the United States.

“Rapid intensification in the Gulf allows less time to prepare compared to storms strengthening in the central Atlantic,” DaSilva said. "The exceptional warmth in the Gulf is troubling."

Those storms also can rapidly intensify, especially in the extremely warm waters of the Gulf, AccuWeather forecasters warned.

Don't let your guard down. Tropical activity expected later this month

"We do anticipate the season picking up, however, given that large-scale conditions appear to become more tropical cyclone-favorable later in September," Colorado State University said.

AccuWeather's team of meteorologists expects the second half of the hurricane season to be more active than the first.

“There is a low risk of tropical development off the Southeast coast and in the Atlantic this weekend," DaSilva said.

"Atmospheric conditions that are more conducive to tropical development are expected to return next week."

What should be in a hurricane kit? Get supplies without paying sales tax in Florida

Officials regularly encourage Florida residents to prepare for storms before a hurricane is approaching, while shelves are fully stocked and you aren't battling crowds all rushing to the store at the same time.

"It only takes one storm to make it an impactful year for your community," the National Hurricane Center Miami posted on X.

On Aug. 1, specific hurricane supplies became permanently tax-free in Florida, ranging from batteries to generators.

Weather watches and warnings issued in Florida

When does hurricane season end in Florida?

The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 through Nov. 30.

Ninety-seven percent of tropical cyclone activity occurs during this time period, NOAA said.

The Atlantic basin includes the northern Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of America, as the Gulf of Mexico is now known in the U.S. per an order from President Trump. NOAA and the National Hurricane Center are now using Gulf of America on its maps and in its advisories.

When is peak hurricane season?

The peak of the season is Sept. 10, with the most activity happening between mid-August and mid-October, according to the Hurricane Center.

Why does NHC say 'tropical cyclone' on its maps instead of hurricane or tropical storm?

Tropical cyclone is the generic term used by the National Weather Service, NOAA and the National Hurricane Center for any tropical system, even if it's in the tropical Atlantic basin.

To be more precise, a tropical cyclone is a "rotating, organized system of clouds and thunderstorms that originates over tropical or subtropical waters and has closed, low-level circulation," NOAA said.

Once maximum sustained winds reach 74 mph, what it is called is determined by where it originated:

AccuWeather has updated its prediction for the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, revising its forecast made in March, before the season began.

On Sept. 11, AccuWeather's revised prediction calls for slightly fewer named storms and hurricanes.

But ...

Get the latest hurricane updates and how communities are preparing, responding, and recovering.

While the updated forecast is for slightly fewer storms and hurricanes, forecasters kept their predictions for the number of major hurricanes — three to five — and the number of direct U.S. impacts — three to six.

The threat for rapid intensification continues.

AccuWeather slightly decreases prediction for named storms, hurricanes in 2025

AccuWeather released a revised prediction for the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season Sept. 11, following an "unusually quiet stretch across the Atlantic basin during the climatological peak period of tropical activity."

The new forecast and how it compares to the March forecast (in parentheses) is:

A major hurricane is one that is a Category 3 or higher, with maximum sustained winds of at least 111 mph.

AccuWeather's early prediction for hurricane season: 13-18 named storms

AccuWeather predicted the Atlantic hurricane season could bring 13 to 18 named storms in 2025, including seven to10 hurricanes and three to five major hurricanes that reach Category 3 strength or higher.

Why is AccuWeather predicting slightly fewer hurricanes for 2025?

“Unusual surges of dry air, Saharan dust, disruptive wind shear, cooler water temperatures off the western coast of Africa, and other atmospheric conditions have hampered multiple tropical waves from developing into tropical storms or hurricanes, during what are typically the peak weeks of tropical activity in the Atlantic basin,” said Alex DaSilva, AccuWeather lead hurricane expert.

"The risk of direct impacts has not changed. AccuWeather continues to forecast three to six direct impacts to the United States this season,” DaSilva said. “It only takes one storm to create a devastating hurricane season.”

High water temperatures in Gulf like 'rocket fuel' for developing storms

“The heat and energy stored in the Gulf reached record territory this week. The waters are dangerously warm. This surplus of energy in the Gulf can act like rocket fuel,” DaSilva said.

? Hurricane forecast: Tropical tranquility defies the decades, but new threats emerge

"The exceptionally high water temperatures in the Gulf have increased the concerns for potential rapid intensification in the coming weeks.

"If a storm spins up or moves into the Gulf, and atmospheric conditions are conducive for development, these warm waters can support rapid intensification, and even cases of extreme rapid intensification."

What can Florida expect from the remainder of 2025 hurricane season?

AccuWeather hurricane experts continue to warn the northern and eastern portions of the Gulf Coast — which includes Florida — and the Carolinas are areas with a higher-than-average risk of direct impacts this season.

? Peak of hurricane season here, so where are storms? Now is not the time for Florida to relax

Atlantic Canada and the northeastern Caribbean, including Puerto Rico and the United States Virgin Islands, are also at an increased risk of direct impacts for the rest of the season, AccuWeather said.

"Inland areas far away from the coast will have a risk of flooding and tornadoes, just like in 2024. Parts of the Appalachians, especially from Virginia on south, could be at risk of experiencing flooding again this year."

'Don't let your guard down.' Prepare now for hurricanes

“Please do not let your guard down or become complacent. The tropics have been unusually quiet during the typical peak weeks of the season, just like they were last year,” DaSilva said.

"It only takes one powerful hurricane or slow-moving tropical rainstorm to create a major natural disaster. The presence of such warm water, especially the record high ocean heat content of the Gulf, remain extremely concerning because storms that can take advantage of that 'high octane' fuel," DaSilva said.

"If certain atmospheric parameters are in place, a storm could rapidly intensify, perhaps close to the coast, and greatly amplify the danger, damage and impacts."

Hurricanes Helene and Milton in 2024 developed after the peak of the season.

Helene caused catastrophic inland flooding in North Carolina after making landfall in Florida, and Milton brought dozens of destructive tornadoes across Florida.

Officials regularly encourage Florida residents to prepare for storms before a hurricane is approaching, while shelves are fully stocked and you aren't battling crowds all rushing to the store at the same time.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. —

Palm Beach County officials are developing a master plan to improve transportation countywide, and they are asking for the public’s help.

The county is hosting a series of public meetings to get residents’ input on everything from road projects to public transportation.

It’s all in an effort to relieve traffic congestion and improve mobility for residents.

“Transportation, roads, mobility, biking, pedestrian pathways, mass transit,” Palm Beach County Deputy Administrator Patrick Rutter said.

Starting Wednesday, Palm Beach County is hosting a series of eight public in-person meetings so residents can tell the county which types of transportation projects it should prioritize over the next several years.

It’s part of what they are calling the Palm Beach Countywide Transportation Master Plan.

“What are all of our future plans? How do we see ourselves growing down the road? What do we need to do to anticipate the next five years, 10 years, 20 years, etc.? It's a holistic look, something we've never done in Palm Beach County before,” Rutter said.

Rutter says they established the plan at the direction of the board of county commissioners.

“They hear from the residents, they hear from their constituents, they hear from their cities, and traffic/transportation is always one of those big issues,” Rutter said.

The board hired a consulting group to work with it to come up with a full report of its findings over a period of 12 months.

Rutter said this is the first phase, and input from the public is crucial.

“Palm Beach County is so big, so geographically diverse, and it's trying to aggregate all of the inputs, all the thoughts, all the feedback for people, what may be important to a Western community. It might not be the same thing that's important to an Eastern community,” Rutter said.

To pay for some of the new projects, county commissioners are considering asking voters to approve a penny sales tax increase at the ballot next November, but those plans have not been finalized.

“If/when our board wants to take up any discussion on that, they will. But we're focusing right now on working on setting the vision, setting the priorities, finding the projects, finding the work that's out there, getting all that feedback. That’s our focus with this,” Rutter said.
