4 Nursing Homes Communities in Palm Springs, California

M.L.

There are six cottages here, 15 people in each cottage, so each person has their own bedroom and a bath. The first 3 cottages are named after trees, like ashford or cedar, while elm and fir are for memory care. If someone wants to live there they can have their own car and they can go out. It's the ideal place if you're hunting for a place for a family member. When we went there we had a chance to have a lunch. Everybody, the attendants, the people in the main office know my sister-in-law, they greet her and they are very, very friendly and very caring. I am very pleased. They keep in contact right now, there's I think 6 in my sister-in-law's cottage that tested positive, but none of them have fevers yet. None of them are showing signs of Covid. I went in because I have been with my sister-in-law, I've taken her to the doctor, so I was with her. They had me come in and get tested too, and I've tested negative. Right now, they had set up a place where you can be talk and see each other through internet and through FaceTime. Before the Covid virus, I was able to take Thelma out every Friday, and we would go to Billy Reeds or to the Casino. You can take your loved ones out to restaurants, even if they're in the memory care. They had lots of activities before the Covid lockdown, volunteers would come in to entertain. I was there one time, and there was a man playing the guitar, and the people that were there were singing along. I sang along with him the songs that I knew, and Thelma happened to be there, too. I'm sure they'll bring all those entertainers back after Covid. They have lots of activities. They have a bus and they take them out for outing. I can't praise it highly enough. They're so compassionate to their employees and the residents.

P.S.

It is a beautiful place, the people are very caring. I think they are great with people that only need assisted living, but mostly can be on their own, so for that they're a wonderful option. But for anyone who needs more care, they're probably not an ideal option. They have quite a few good activities, but they have to stay on the premises, but they did things like movie nights and stuff like that.

I liked it quite a bit. My mother liked it, too, but they had a waiting list. It's modern and clean, and the employees know their clients real well. It's a nice and friendly atmosphere. They were knowledgeable about the questions that I had. Their Christmas dinner was nicely set up, family members came, and the food looked good to me. They had quite a huge calendar of activities to have their clients interact and get to do things, and it's well organized.

It was a very nice property in the middle of Palm Springs. It was very clean, very organized, very well-run, and without a doubt nice people. It's convenient location wise, and that would be the one I would choose if I was staying in the Palm Springs area. They had pool classes, exercise classes, a book club, little excursions off campus, and they're located across a library which was very appealing to me. I liked the size of the property, the size of the rooms, and the food was good.

We visited. We liked it, but I wanted it to be more open, and with more people. It's a beautiful place with great areas. The staff was very nice to us, everybody said hello, Judy was very informative, and she gave us all kinds of information. The residents were in the clubhouse, and they were painting, but my mother would not like that. We looked at both a 1-bedroom and a studio, and the rooms were very nice. There were fewer people, and we saw the common rooms, but we didn’t like it because it was just too small.
