Nurse Registry & In-Home Care in West Palm Beach, FL
In-home caregiver referrals across West Palm Beach — downtown high-rises, established neighborhoods and the western communities.
West Palm Beach covers a lot of ground and a lot of housing types: downtown towers, historic neighborhoods near Flagler Drive, and newer developments out toward the western suburbs. The care questions change with the setting — a condo resident may mainly need company and transportation, while a household further west may need help managing a larger home and a more complex medical routine.
Care Alternatives, Inc. is a licensed Florida Nurse Registry serving Palm Beach County. We refer independently contracted caregivers after verifying credentials, and families select and direct the caregiver themselves. That model gives West Palm Beach households more control over schedule, tasks and continuity than assigned agency staffing typically allows.
West Palm Beach referrals fall under Nurse Registry License #30211642. Call 800-631-3793 or request care online and a coordinator will respond directly.
West Palm Beach is served through our Palm Beach County nurse registry operation. For how Florida nurse registries work and how they differ from home health agencies, see our South Florida Nurse Registry guide.

Local practicalities
Because West Palm Beach spans downtown buildings and far-western neighborhoods, travel time genuinely affects which caregivers are available for short shifts. Longer shifts are usually easier to staff in the western communities than two-hour visits.

Care situations we see in West Palm Beach
These are the arrangements families in this community most often ask about.
Coming home after a hospital or rehab stay
The first weeks home are when most setbacks happen. Referrals can cover mobility assistance, meal preparation, bathing and medication reminders while strength returns.
Higher-acuity needs at home
When needs go beyond personal care, we can refer LPNs and RNs for skilled support such as medication management, wound care and clinical monitoring under a physician's plan of care.
Veterans and their spouses
West Palm Beach has a substantial veteran population. Our Veterans page explains the VA-related home-care programs families most often ask about and where to verify eligibility.
Overnight safety
Night wandering, frequent bathroom trips and fall risk are common reasons families move from daytime hours to overnight or live-in coverage.
Who we can refer in West Palm Beach
As a licensed Florida Nurse Registry we screen and verify credentials, then refer independently contracted caregivers. Families interview candidates and choose who comes into the home.

Home Health Aides (HHAs)
Assistance with grooming, bathing, meals, medication reminders and the everyday routines that keep someone comfortable at home.

West Palm Beach home care questions
- Can you refer a nurse rather than an aide?
- Yes. As a Nurse Registry we refer LPNs and RNs in addition to CNAs, home health aides and companions. Skilled nursing support is typically arranged in coordination with the client's physician.
- Do you help with long-term care insurance paperwork?
- We assist families with the documentation home-care insurers commonly request, such as caregiver logs. We cannot guarantee that a carrier will approve or reimburse a claim — that decision belongs to the insurer.
- Do you provide emergency or urgent medical care?
- No. Care Alternatives is not an emergency service. For a medical emergency call 911.
- What license covers West Palm Beach?
- Palm Beach County Nurse Registry License #30211642 and Homemaker Companion Service License #232233.
