Home Care Palm Beach Gardens, 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 Palm Beach Gardens Historical Society 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 Gardens, FL is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

“Steve and Claudia at Always Best Care Senior Services were just awesome in how they provided at home care for my mother Carmen. 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.”

“I wish there were more that five stars. I can not say enough about the experience we have had in working with Always Best Care Senior Services. Not only were they extremely receptive to our needs, available immediately to every call, text or email, compassionate and kind...every single employee was better than the next. My Dad's recent death and my mothers recent surgery (with complications) requiring extra care was a traumatic time for our family. The care she received was beyond skilled and professional. We knew she was in trusting, caring hands. She was happy. I have recommended ABC to others and they have had the same experience. Do not hesitate to reach out to them if you are in need. I highly recommend them. I know I will be reaching out to Steven and Claudia the next time I am in need. My family and I are extremely grateful.”

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in Palm Beach Gardens, 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 Gardens, 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 The Capital Grille or visit Historic Banyan Trees, 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.

Benefits of Home Care in Palm Beach Gardens, FL

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 Gardens, 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 Gardens, 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 Gardens, 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 Gardens, 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 Gardens, FL

At assisted living communities, seniors receive help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating. They may also benefit from coordination of services with outside healthcare providers, and monitoring of resident activities to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. Caregivers who work at assisted living communities can also provide medication administration and personal care services for older adults.

Other services offered within assisted living communities can include some or all of the following:

  • Housekeeping
  • Laundry
  • Recreational Activities
  • Social Outings
  • Emergency Medical Response
  • Medication Monitoring
  • Family Visitation
  • Personal Care
 Caregivers Palm Beach Gardens, FL

At Always Best Care, our representatives can match your senior's emotional, physical, and financial needs with viable assisted living communities nearby. Results are based on comparative data, so you can select the best choice for you or your loved one.

Always Best Care works closely with local senior living communities to gain valuable knowledge that we then use to help seniors and their loved ones make informed decisions. This information can include basic care and rent, resident availability, and services provided. Because Always Best Care is compensated by these communities, we provide senior living referral services at no extra cost to you.

Some of the most popular assisted living communities to consider in our area include the following:

  • The Madyson at Palm Beach Gardens
  • HarborChase of Palm Beach Gardens
  • Brookdale Palm Beach Gardens
  • Emmanuel Care Assisted Living facility
  • Assisted Living-Palm Beach
  • Discovery Village At Palm Beach Gardens
Home Care Palm Beach Gardens, FL

For many seniors, moving into a senior living community revolves around how and when they want to make a transition to more involved care. Some seniors are more proactive about transitioning to independent living. Others choose to remain home until their care needs or other requirements are satisfied. Remember - our staff is here to help. Contact our office today to learn more about assisted living communities and how we can find a facility that exceeds your expectations.

Discover things to do when it’s raining liquid sunshine in The Palm Beaches Florida.

A vacation to the tropics isn’t complete without a few drops of rain. The Palm Beaches’ location, proximity to the vast blue ocean and plenty of warm sunshine make some rain a near certainty. The good news is rainstorms here are almost always brief, never very cold and quickly followed by more sun. Having some fun indoor activities planned when rain arrives will keep your vacation on track. Here’s a list of great indoor (or almost-indoor) activities that will keep your whole crew happy.

2003 Lion Country Safari Road, West Palm Beach

No need to get wet when you visit Lion Country Safari. This award-winning, drive-thru park has a wide variety of animals, many becoming more active when it rains. You’ll see large herds of animals — including some of the largest herds of zebra, rhino and giraffe in the United States — roaming free while you look on from your car. Plan on also seeing lions, ostriches and chimpanzees, as well as many other species from around the world. Once the rain lets up, visit the on-site amusement park featuring a carousel, mini-train and flying-elephant ride, as well as a water park, close-up animal encounters, petting zoo and VIP experiences such as feeding a giraffe and meeting flamingos.

5190 Lake Worth Road, Greenacres

Nothing can light up a smile on a rainy day like a trip to a chocolate factory. Hoffman’s Chocolates has called The Palm Beaches home for decades, serving tasty confections to generations. At the Greenacres factory, see various goodies being prepared, watch a video presentation about chocolate history and try some free chocolate samples. You can even get hands-on by taking a chocolatier class, where you make your own beautiful chocolate crafts. Not near Greenacres? Pick up a sweet treat at Hoffman’s retail locations in Boca Raton, Delray Beach and Palm Beach Gardens.

1 Whitehall Way, Palm Beach

Housed in a 100,000-square-foot mansion named Whitehall, the Flagler Museum is the former home of Henry Morrison Flagler, a founding partner of Standard Oil during the Gilded Age. With a whopping 75 rooms to explore, a dreary day is the perfect time to take a self-guided tour of this National Historic Landmark. Among the many spaces are a music room, library, grand ballroom and even a room featuring a highly prized collection of lace. Don’t miss the Flagler Kenan Pavilion, where you’ll find Flagler’s Railcar No. 91, which was personally used by the railroad magnate and makes for a great photo op.

4810 Dreher Trail North, West Palm Beach

Packed with hands-on displays of all types, the Cox Science Center and Aquarium offers hours of learning and discovery away from the raindrops. Traveling national exhibitions often fill the main hall, while the Dekelboum Planetarium offers an intimate journey to the stars. Kids can get more “edu-tainment” at the Aquariums of the Atlantic and Hidden World of the Everglades exhibits. Once the rain clouds part, take on the popular Conservation Course mini-golf or follow the Fisher Family Science Trail.

900 Peninsula Corporate Circle, Boca Raton, FL 33487

This brand new 73,000 sq ft state-of-the-art indoor recreational facility is South Florida’s premier indoor ice skating destination! The facility features Twin NHL-size Hockey rinks, elite figure skating, NHL coaches, best in class Hockey Programs, professional ice shows, real snow, a Pro-Shop, an outdoor space, and performing arts including dance, music, and ballet. Just the perfect place for a rainy day!

700 South Rosemary Avenue, Suite 200, West Palm Beach

What’s a better way to beat bad weather than a little retail therapy? Though the businesses open to the outdoors and beautiful courtyards at The Square, you’ll stay dry along the covered walkways that connect a variety of shops like Sunglass Hut, Natuzzi Italia and Rohi’s Readery. If you work up an appetite, there are plenty of places to grab a delicious bite to eat, from Latin street food and plant-based fare to New York-style pizza and a Japanese steakhouse. And as a hub of arts and culture, make sure you keep your eyes open for the many dazzling murals and art installations.

301 Plaza Real, Boca Raton; 25 Southeast 4th Avenue, Delray Beach

Two IPIC Theater locations in The Palm Beaches — in Boca Raton’s Mizner Park and downtown Delray Beach — make it easy to elevate your movie-going experience on a rainy day. These theaters offer large, plush, leather-covered recliners where you can kick back and watch all the latest releases. The concession stands feature a chef-driven menu of fine but fun foods perfect for in-movie dining. A wide selection of wine, beer and signature cocktails is also available, making for a movie date you’ll remember.

500 Captain Armours Way, Jupiter

Even on a cloudy day, the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse is inspiring and iconic. While climbing the lighthouse steps might be something to reserve for a sunny day, there are some rainy-day things to see while you’re there. Housed in a World War II-era building nearby is the history museum, where you can watch a video about the lighthouse and browse exhibits looking back at 5,000 years of life on the nearby Loxahatchee River. Come back and tour the lighthouse when the sun comes out.

1450 South Dixie Highway, West Palm Beach

Internationally known for its distinguished collection of art and photography from around the world, the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach presents exhibits and programs for nearly every cultural taste. After you’ve toured the exhibits, stay out of the rain a little longer and browse the museum store or dine at the on-site restaurant. These airy, modern spaces will leave you feeling refreshed and inspired. And if the rain slows down, be sure to wander the sculpture garden.

19 Northeast 3rd Avenue, Delray Beach

Featuring more than 100 video games and pinball machines dating as far back as the 1930s, this museum and entertainment center evokes nostalgia for adults and creates memories for newer generations. The 9,000-square-foot museum allows you to play classic arcade games, two floors of pinball machines and even the original skeeball alleys from New York’s Coney Island – Eldorado Arcade. Even better: The games are set to free play, which means unlimited plays are included with admission.

51 North Swinton Avenue, Delray Beach

A little museum filled with big-league art, the Cornell Art Museum is housed within a restored 1913 school building, which gives it a warm and unpretentious small-town vibe. The art, however, is innovative and provocative and changes often. Browse cutting-edge works created by regional, national and internationally acclaimed artists, making for an interesting and inspiring break from the rain.

9067 Southern Boulevard, West Palm Beach

Fun can also be found at Yesteryear Village at the South Florida Fairgrounds. A collection of authentic and replica homes and buildings dating to the early 20th century, Yesteryear Village brings Florida’s past to life with costumed hosts and exhibitions of pioneer life. Learn how The Palm Beaches’ first residents lived without central air conditioning and running water. Keep an umbrella handy for walking between buildings, but much of the fun is under shelter.

601 Lake Avenue, Lake Worth Beach

Throughout the year, the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County hosts family-friendly activities at their gallery building in Lake Worth Beach, such as toddler yoga classes and hands-on workshops for your little artist. Be sure to visit their website to learn about the latest experiences available to keep your crew entertained, rain or shine.

300 North Dixie Highway, West Palm Beach

Visitors are often surprised by how rich the history of The Palm Beaches really is. This converted 1916 courthouse features permanent People and Places galleries, telling the story of the area’s earliest days, from the first pioneers through the development of the exciting communities that dot the destination today. In addition to the permanent exhibits, the museum hosts in-depth special exhibits each fall and short-term exhibits regularly covering a wide variety of topics.

Put down the umbrella and solve a series of puzzles to gain your freedom. The growing popularity of escape rooms is well-deserved, with players of all ages working together to find a way out of a “locked” room by a deadline. There are several to pick from in The Palm Beaches, each with interesting twists and themes, including:

PALM BEACH GARDENS – A gym with unusual features including a treadmill-lined movie theater and hula dance classes is set to open at Legacy Place in Palm Beach Gardens.

The gym is poised to take over a 30,140-square-foot space that formerly housed Best Buy and sits just across the parking lot from apartments at the center. Best Buy moved to another space in the shopping plaza.

It would be the second EoS Fitness in Palm Beach County, with its other location off State Road 7 in suburban Boca Raton, and the 10th location in Florida. Pure Barre, which offers workouts using a ballet barre, is the only other fitness business at Legacy Place.

EoS Fitness offers exercise classes unlike those at other gyms

Legacy Place, the outdoor retail and residential complex with 384 multi-family units sold for $101 million in 2021 to Boca Raton-based Woolbright Development and Dallas-based Lone Star Funds.

The plaza at PGA Boulevard and Alternate State Road A1A did strong business after it opened in 2006 but has struggled to bring in customers amid the COVID-19 pandemic and the rise of e-commerce. Many of its signature stores — such as Best Buy and Barnes & Noble — do much of their business online.

Since then, efforts to bring new tenants to the center have met with uneven results. EoS Fitness is expected to bring a new set of customers to the center.

The Palm Beach Gardens Planning and Zoning Board unanimously voted in mid-October to recommend the gym’s approval. The City Council is expected to vote to approve or deny it at its next meeting on Nov. 2.

Legacy Place has already updated their website directory, saying Eos Fitness is “coming soon.”

The gym offers personal trainers, yoga and cycling classes, and a backyard for its members to work out under the sun. Each gym also is equipped with a hot tub, sauna, massage chairs and indoor swimming pool. Membership fees at EoS Fitness start at $9.99 per month with an annual membership fee of $49.99.

“We are finding that many people have very specific fitness needs,” said Nicole Plunkett with Cotleur & Hearing, the agent representing the project. “EoS Fitness will complement not just the people who visit the center, but the residents as well.”

Legacy Place expects more restaurants, businesses to open soon

City planner Christopher Oftedal expressed concern over the future success of Legacy Place, saying that he drives past it often and gets the sense that it is “completely empty.” He still voted to recommend bringing EoS Fitness to the center.

“Is there any long-term strategy, or are we just kind of putting a Band-Aid on Legacy Place?” Oftedal asked at the mid-October meeting.

Amanda Kennedy-Sita, vice president of acquisitions at Woolbright Development, said that Legacy Place’s retail space is currently 70% occupied.

Kennedy-Sita hopes to achieve 90% occupancy by the end of the year. She expects two major restaurants, a coffee shop and other smaller “mom-and-pop” retail to come to Legacy Place by then.

Palm Beach Gardens and Jupiter are upping their pickleball game in 2024. Between the two cities, they are nearly doubling the number of public courts to 59.

Of the two, Palm Beach Gardens had the most pickleball options, coming into the year with 16 courts at its athletic complex west of the interstate and a dozen more courts at Lilac Park. But as of Jan. 12, the city remodeled at Lilac, creating 24 pickleball courts not far from the originals. (The originals will be demolished to make way for other sports.)

Meanwhile, in Jupiter there are six mobile indoor pickleball courts at the community center, but more are coming in two months.

Towns racing to keep up with pickleball demand

The town will convert three of the tennis courts at Jupiter Community Park into eight pickleball courts and transform one of the hockey rinks at Abacoa Community Park into five pickleball courts. Construction started on Jan. 8 and should be completed by early March, according to the town’s timeline.

Pickleball, an all-ages-friendly mashup of tennis, table tennis and badminton, is one of the fastest growing sports in the United States on both the professional and amateur level, with more than 36 million players in 2023 according to the Association of Pickleball Professionals.

As pickleball has exploded in popularity, local governments have struggled to keep up with the demand.

The new navy-and-teal-colored courts in Palm Beach Gardens at Lilac Park are already buzzing with players across many ages and skill levels. Some say they plan to frequent the courts every day, weather permitting.

The original project was approved by the city council in March 2023 as part of Palm Beach Gardens’ $20 million public-improvement bond. About $1.1 million of that was dedicated to the pickleball project.

“We’ve sold nearly 200 passes so far, and they’re going like hot cakes every day,” said City Manager Ron Ferris at a council meeting in January.

The courts were built atop of Lilac Park's former soccer field and are now open every day from dawn to 9 p.m. The space that held the 12 former courts at the park will be converted into an area for box lacrosse and futsal, according to a city spokesperson.

All but a few courts were filled on Tuesday morning.

Pickleball players give Palm Beach Gardens courts high marks

Stuart Kocha, a 59-year-old Palm Beach Gardens resident, grew up playing tennis. He fell in love with pickleball when he learned how to play at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, when the sport saw an unexpected uptick in participants.

Now he rarely plays tennis anymore.

The city “couldn’t have done a better job” with the new pickleball courts, he said. Kocha and some friends play at different courts around the county, but Lilac Park draws the most challenging competition.

This is because the courts are open to the public free outside of the hours that are managed by city staff, which are from 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. daily.

“The game is just booming,” Kocha said. “People started playing at the start of the pandemic, and now everyone has got the bug.”

Theresa Gariepy of Palm Beach Gardens has been playing pickleball for five years. She is thrilled that the new courts are open into the night so she can play with her husband in the evenings outside of his work hours.

“I think these courts are absolutely fabulous,” Gariepy said. “This means everything to the community. There’s always someone here to play with, and everyone plays together here.”

Palm Beach Gardens residents can purchase membership passes to the Lilac Park pickleball courtsonline for $5 for one day, $35 for six months and $50 for one year. The city charges non-residents $15 for one day, $225 for six months, and $350 for a year.
