The Palace Gardens Difference

For over 30 years, The Palace Gardens Assisted Living Community in Homestead has been known as a leader in providing outstanding care to seniors. While our grounds and the campus are beautiful, there are more than a few reasons why The Palace Gardens is different from all others. 1. Continuum of Care – The Palace Gardens is part of The Palace Family of Senior Living Communities which offers accommodations that meet everyone’s needs, from Independent Living and Assisted Living, to Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation, and even Home Health. You can rest assured that at The Palace, your needs will be met, no matter what may happen in the future. 2. Palace Training & Education Center Because our residents come first, every employee must reflect the higher standards of our communities. Based on Ritz-Carlton procedures, a comprehensive orientation program reinforces this focus. Regular training and educational programs continue so that residents will always receive the very best care and services. 3. Local Ownership – Founded in 1980 by Helen and Jacob Shaham, The Palace is privately owned and locally operated by these self-made individuals who foresaw the need for quality senior living environments. Their constant involvement today ensures the tradition they established for the communities and services bearing The Palace name: only the best.

To pay for Florida Forever purchases, the first in several years, Scott has proposed earmarking $50 million from state land sales, which typi- cally revert to the general revenue fund. “We’ll see how much land there is and what we have that is extra,” Scott said. “I’ve set aside $25 million for additional land purchases for sure, and then depend on how much land is sold up to $50 million.” Thousands of acres of land in the Keys is owned by the state for preservation, bought through Florida Forever and its predecessor agency, Preservation 2000. Environmentalists say they will watch to see where the new money comes from but at first blush are encour- aged at funding levels of Florida Forever and Ever- glades restoration, which have been hit hard by recent tough fiscal times. “This is really good news on both fronts,” said Eric Draper, executive director of Audubon Florida. “It’s the first time in several years that we will see over $130 million in potential funding for both these programs.” A 1998 constitutional amendment prevents state officials from selling conser- vation lands unless they no longer serve that purpose. Draper said that early con- cerns were tempered after meetings with the Department of Environmental Protection officials, who pledged to abide by the spirit and intent of the constitutional requirement. “With the economy recov- ering, it is important to allo- cate funds to preserve our state’s natural areas and pro- tect the places that make Florida special,” the Florida Forever Coalition said in a statement. “We look forward to working alongside the governor this legislative ses- sion to advocate for the appropriation of funds for Florida Forever.” “We appreciate the gover- nor’s commitment to Everglades restoration and we believe the Florida Legislature will more than match his recommendation,” said Eric Eikenberg, CEO of the Everglades Foundation. “We look forward to working with Gov.
