The Palace Group, South Florida’s largest family-owned senior living operator, has been honored as the #1 Best Large Workplace in Aging Services™ by Fortune for 2024, marking its second consecutive year at the top. This prestigious recognition solidifies The Palace Group’s position as one of the best companies to work for in the country.
Read HereIn 1980, Coral Gables resident and Is- raeli native Helen Shaham founded The Palace Group with the dream of setting new standards for senior living communi- ties in Miami-Dade. She began modestly with her first community in Opa-Locka (now sold), followed by another in Homestead, and then Kendall in the 1990s (there are currently four there).
When 83-year-old Barbara Fox contemplated retirement, she didn’t envision moving to a Senior Living Community and enjoying carefree days of canasta or pickleball. She just wanted to escape the demands of managing her large Miami home as a single divorcee.
For the sixth year in a row, Gallup has selected us as one of a handful of companies from around the world who have passed their strict standards for the “world’s most exceptional workplaces.”
That puts The Palace along with 56 other global giants like Nationwide Insurance, Regions Bank, Kempinski Hotels and Verizon.
Hi Helen,
My name is Rebecca. I’m 81 years and recently lost my partner of 55 years. After a lot of self-debate, I decided it’s time to move on and look for a new place to call home.
Let me start by saying: Your Palace looks beautiful!
However, as you surely know beauty isn’t everything.

Question: Dear Helen, After 55 years of marriage to my high-school sweetheart I started to notice that something is wrong with my wife. The sharp woman I married and known for a good part of my life, was no longer “there.” She started forgetting... repeating the same story over & over... putting the car keys in the refrigerator... But when she asked me WHO I AM, I was alarmed.
