Intro
MS Home Health Care provides Medicare-certified skilled home health services to multiple sclerosis patients throughout Boca Raton — including East Boca, West Boca, the country club communities, and the surrounding south Palm Beach County corridor. Our Boca Raton care team includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, home health aides, and medical social workers, all of whom are direct W-2 employees trained in MS care.
Boca Raton’s MS patient demographics skew toward affluent retirees from the Northeast — a population that is often well-insured, well-informed, and has high expectations of clinical care. Our Boca Raton operation is built to meet those expectations: rigorous OASIS documentation, direct neurologist communication, and continuity of clinicians visit-to-visit.

Better outcomes at home.
Boca Raton has strong MS specialty resources, anchored by:
- First Choice Neurology Boca Raton Multiple Sclerosis Office — Dr. Brian Steingo’s practice, with on-site infusion therapy and a National MS Society Partners in MS Care affiliation
- The University of Miami Multiple Sclerosis Center of Excellence Boca Raton location
- Boca Raton Regional Hospital (Baptist Health) neurology
- Marcus Neuroscience Institute at Boca Raton Regional Hospital
- Local Boca Raton neurology practices
If your loved one is established with one of these specialists, our team coordinates directly with their office. We share visit notes after every clinical encounter and surface concerns to the treating neurologist.

Heat and Hurricane Considerations in Boca Raton
Boca Raton summer heat is intense and humidity is high — both major triggers for Uhthoff’s phenomenon in MS patients. Many Boca homes have well-managed central AC, but outdoor activities require careful planning, especially in country club communities where MS patients may want to remain socially active. Our OTs help families plan outings around the heat. Hurricane preparedness includes coordination with Palm Beach County’s Special Needs Registry.
Information Gain: Boca Raton's Affluent MS Retiree Population
Boca Raton’s MS community is shaped by the city’s affluent retiree demographic. Many of our Boca patients have excellent supplemental insurance, long-term care insurance, and the ability to combine Medicare home health with private-pay personal care for higher levels of support. Our medical social worker helps families navigate this combination.
This population is also typically well-informed and asks sophisticated clinical questions. We expect that. Our nurses and therapists explain treatment rationales, share evidence behind interventions, and treat patients and families as informed partners — not as passive recipients of care. The questions we get from Boca families — about disease-modifying therapy options, about Jimmo Settlement coverage, about the differences between Medicare Advantage plans — are some of the best questions in the agency.
