This is our own town. For a bedside signing at Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center or any of the rehabilitation and skilled nursing facilities nearby, we are usually the closest notary who actually does this kind of work.
A morning call generally means an afternoon appointment, and often sooner. We are not quoting a window from the other end of the county.
Give us the hospital, the unit and the room number, plus the name of the case manager or discharge planner if one is involved. One phone call in advance beats arriving and being turned around by a policy nobody mentioned.
A large share of this work is not in the hospital at all but in the rehabilitation and skilled nursing facilities around it, where a patient is recovering and a family has finally realised nothing is in place.
Those buildings run on therapy and medication schedules. Mid-morning and early afternoon usually work best, and late evening is usually the worst time to ask someone recovering from a procedure to concentrate.
A fair number of Gardens calls are not at a facility at all. Someone has come home from a procedure into BallenIsles, PGA National or Mirasol and cannot easily travel.
Same work, different obstacle: the gatehouse rather than a nurses station. Put us on the guest list when you book and tell us which entrance.
For what these documents require in terms of witnesses and signer awareness, see our hospital notary page.
No. Witnesses are yours to arrange, and the notary cannot serve as one. Florida does not allow the notary to bring or provide them, and the relatives standing in the room are usually the very people the document names, which rules them out.
Tell us the deadline rather than a preferred time. From our base in Palm Beach Gardens we can often reach Palm Beach Gardens within the hour.
Sometimes, depending on the facility's policy. Never assume it - ask the nurse in advance and tell us what they said when you book.
Call or text and we will confirm a time, usually within the hour. Evenings and weekends included.
