My grandmother will be moving into The Palms at Ponte Vedra. It was a very nice facility and it was perfect. It was very clean and very elegant. There were a lot of activities that they had for the residents, which was great. The staff who assisted me was very thoughtful, caring, considerate, and thorough, and she answered all of my questions. They had a movie theater, arts and crafts, a game room, a physical therapy room, a hair salon, and a pool with a treadmill underneath the water. They had common areas, a dining area, and a private dining area where if you had a small group of people, you could have a nice little private dining experience. They had sort of an ice cream parlor section in the dining room, which was nice.

My mom has been living in The Palms at Ponte Vedra for three years now. She was concerned about the price of her room going up, so she was looking for less expensive alternatives. She now is in a less expensive room at the same place. She is happy with the way things are right now. It's a very good facility. My mother loves it there, and it's very nice. She likes to play cards there. They play bingo. They do limited exercises sitting on a chair. They play trivia, and she's quite pleased. It's all very clean. They have nice grounds. She can go outside and walk around. She likes to look at birds and the trees. They have a little movie room, where they can watch movies. They have a library that she likes. They have a very nice dining room. Sometimes she thinks the food is great, and sometimes she complains about it. She loves the staff. She thinks they're all great. They take her out sometimes to lunch or to shop.

My mom has moved into The Palms at Ponte Vedra. It's beautiful when you walk in, and the interior is very nicely decorated. The staff is wonderful. The room is very nice and has a window to the outside. It's nice and bright. They have all kinds of activities; they can go to church. They have music, singing, and movies. They have a dining facility. The food appears nice, and they have a chef. They serve everything restaurant style. The staff has been fabulous. I haven't tasted the food, but it looks wonderful, and my mom's not losing weight.

High turnover of staff and seems under staffed especially with CNA's and Nurses. Those that are still at The Palms are friendly and helpful to everyone. This is before and during Covid lock down. Everything, everything in this place seems to have to be approved and over seen by the Executive Director Barbara. The Activities employees are so friendly and try their very best to help and keep the residence active.

The Palms at Ponte Vedra is very well-organized and a very pleasant place. The person who gave us the tour, gave us a comprehensive tour, and gave us all the information we needed. It was a very nice, upscale kind of place that you would want your loved one to be in. We looked at the menu. They also gave us a piece of cheesecake on the way and it was good. We were briefly introduced to the staff, but not we didn't really talk with anyone else other than the person who gave the tour. We got a nice reception. Overall, it's a very comfortable location. They had excellent fitness facilities and amenities. I think the apartments were very nice. It's not the newest place. It's not old, but it's very nicely kept up.

We visited The Palms at Ponte Vedra. When we were there, they only have the 1-bedroom available. The rooms looked very nice. They gave us cheesecake to take home, and it was delicious. They had a library, an ice cream parlor, a gym, a physical therapy area, a movie theater, and a quest game room.

My mother has been a resident at the Palms for several years. My family cannot say how happy we are with their services. The staff is excellent, the facility is well maintained, and my mother is happy. Her room is comfortable and she can freely choose the activities she wants to join. She loves the jewelry and fashion shows and the dinner trips.

I saw both assisted living and memory care at The Palms at Ponte Vedra, and I liked it. Everything was in very good shape, neat, clean, attractive, and bright. The staff was all friendly and helpful. They have a library, TV lounge, happy hour, and mini-rooms.

The Palms at Ponte Vedra was very nice. We were very pleased with what we saw. They seemed well staffed. The rooms were very nice. We really like the space and the fact that they were more than sufficient in size. The bathrooms and the kitchens were wonderful. I really love the fact that they have full kitchenettes, and that the décor was amazing. The staff was very knowledgeable. She answered all of our questions and she went over the information that was available to us at the time. She was more than accommodating. The food was very good. The place was very clean and very well kept. It was very good. The only negative I have about The Palms is that it is on a fairly busy street.

I was very impressed with The Palms at Ponte Vedra. It was a wonderful facility and looks like the kind of place that I would want my dad in. My dad would have adapted well there. They have a separate and secured memory care unit and I liked their programs. The rooms were very adequate and good. They had a physical therapy room, a small pool for exercise purposes, a theater, a very nice dining room, and a very nice menu. They also had a separate snack room. I would consider it a 5-star facility. The food appeared to be well-prepared with a variety of choices. They had organized outings in the assisted living.

The sales staff did an outstanding job showing interest and following up with me when my mother was a prospect. Then we she needed to get released from an ER visit -- and they knew that her next fall would be the catalyst that would force her to give up her independence -- a different department stepped in and gave me all kinds of resistance and would not take her in straight from hospital like we needed, and as had been discussed with them as part of the plan.. This in a medical and emotional crisis for us as family. Nurses in hospital paved the way for my mother to go to another facility. The memory care place, where mother ended up, treated my mother and me with compassion and excellent care and spent time educating me so I understood what was happening with my mother and how to proceed. I'm relieved The Palms showed true colors before I signed papers and that my parent avoided it.

The Palms at Ponte Vedra looked like a wonderful place to be in. The representative was pleasant and helpful. She talked straight, and she was honest. The place and its location were beautiful. It looked like it was very new and shiny. There were a lot of residents up and about, and they seemed to be content and enjoying themselves at lunch time. The food smelled wonderful. Everything about the place impressed me, and I would definitely consider it for my mother.

My mom moved into The Palms shortly after it opened in October, 2015 and spent the last fifteen months of her life in their assisted living facility. She absolutely loved it there and everyone in the organization. I can honestly say, having experience other facilities up north and researching competitive facilities in PVB, The Palms is clearly superior in every way possible. Barbara Matteson has assembled a top-notch team of skilled and compassionate individuals, in each part of that organization, many of whom became very attached to my mom during her life there. That team has created a close-knit, active and caring environment for the residents of The Palms. I Know this from visiting my mom at least 3 – 4 times a week, many weeks every day since they opened their doors. When you spend that much time you really get a feel for the people and the place. In the final days of mom’s life the outpouring of love and support from Barbara and her staff was overwhelming to our family. Management, RN’s, CNA’s, Reception, Kitchen and dining room staff… everyone was there for Mom. Simply stated…there is no better choice than The Palms.

On behalf of our entire family, we would like to thank The Palms for all the wonderful work you do and for taking such great care of my grandmother. Quite frankly her gains since she has been a resident of the Palms are nothing short of miraculous and it brings us all so much joy and peace to see her not only gaining her health and vitality back but thriving! If you remember, when we first spoke, grandma didn't want to leave her apartment where she lived alone and had home aids coming to care for her since her fall. Fast forward to now and what a huge difference! The calls I used to get were from a sad woman, but now, when she has time to call, I hear only joy in her voice and tales about how she loves exercise (something she has never done in her life!!) yoga, games, singing, friends, fashions shows, movies and field trips!! She is actually more independent then she was when she lived alone. It's really amazing, and I know it takes much hard work and talent to create such a nurturing space. We cannot thank The Palms enough! I want to thank you too for the care during the hurricane. I can imagine it was a very difficult time. Grandma knew she was safe and well cared for. We were making at the time which seemed like an impossible decision, and we had a very short time to pull it off,, In hindsight, I still do not know how we managed to get it done, but I know that you all made the transition very easy for us. The Palms has been such a blessing in all of our lives.

This place is all smoke and mirrors. The facility is beautiful and looks like a resort with all of the amenities. The dining room and menu for the assisted living side resembles a fine dining restaurant however, on the memory care side it is a different story. While the menu may appear to be the same , the quality of the food is seriously lacking. They don't provide enough servings for the residents and do not pay close attention to a individual residents "supposed" care plan. Rolls were never served and most of their entrees did not have any gravy, even if it was requested. The management staff all put on a good show to get you to put down your money but they misrepresented their amenities. They boasted that they had a whirlpool bath available for the residents, a unique amenity compared to the other ALFs, however, what they do not tell you is that none of their staff has been trained on how to properly use it with a resident so it is not really useable. Secondly, the CNAs and some of the nurses do not pay close attention to the memory care residents. They did not recognize that my mother was pale for several days and didn't appear right. It wasn't until I pointed it out and called the Dr. Myself, did they start taking some action. As a result, she had an internal bleed and nearly died. I took her out of that place immediately. I cannot vouch for the assisted living side but I would not recommend the memory care. The value for the exorbitant cost was not worth it. They also recommend a pharmacy to use for ease of prescriptions and packaging but the cost of the medications are ridiculously expensive. The whole place is a rip off.

I would not recommend The Palms to anyone. I had my parents there for 7 months. I was told before we signed the contract that they could take my parents to the end of their life however when my parents started to need more assistance they advised me I would have to hire a private caretaker at my own expense. They told me the only way they would accept my mother back when she was ready to be released from the hospital was if I hired a twelve hour a day caretaker. Then when my Dad was ready to get out of a short-term rehab facility they refused to let him come back. They gave me a three day notice to find him another facility to live in. The management here runs this place like a used car dealership and does not care about the residents or the employees. Horrible Place.

The Palms at Ponte Vedra is very elegant, lovely, small, and beautifully decorated. It's just a little jewel of a place, and it's for people who aren't very active anymore. They have parties and an ice cream bar. The staff who toured us around was excellent.

My loved one moved in to this facility several months ago. It is a nice place however I do not think they are equipped to handle the growth that they have seen over the last 2 months. The food is not as good the attention to detail is not what it was before. I think the staff is overwhelmed which is not good in a facility that houses individuals that need a little extra help.

Visited and know a relative that lives at The Palms. Nice place. Good food however the communication between the family member and staff appears to be unorganized. If a loved one needs a higher level of care you may want to look in to another facility.

I would say my second favorite was The Palms at Ponte Vedra. It was equally as nice as the other community. They were a little bit more expensive, but they’re closer to my house. It was similarly as nice. It was very well decorated. I’m really impressed.

The assisted living that I liked was The Palms. It’s new, lovely facility with a beautiful dining room and very impressive food service. The staff was extremely helpful and caring. The rooms were lovely and not as big as the rooms I saw in another facility, but they were very nice and very attractive. This was where I was going to put my mother for assisted living. It was much smaller, so there was a lot more individual attention.

The Palms at Ponte Vedra is very beautiful, brand new, and pretty well designed. My mom and dad live there. The staff is very professional with many years of experience in assisted living and senior care. The supervisor is wonderful and has been in the business for many years. The rooms are beautiful. The dining area and the food are top notch. They have lots of activities like Wii bowling, bingo, watching the morning news, poker, and different things like that.
