Garden of Palms was not as wonderful as we would've liked. The ratio was really poor, and it's old. The problem was that there were 40 residents and only three full-time caregivers. The director of activities was running around, trying to take people on walks. The tour was terrible. When I asked the salesperson, "Tell me what makes this place stand apart from everybody else." He said the kosher food, and that's not a satisfactory answer for me. It's depressing, old, and small. I called the executive director to try to talk to him about the tour that I was dissatisfied with, and he never called me back (which did not impress me).

Garden of Palms was very nice and one of the smaller residential homes with about six people but they don’t have the overall staffing needed. It’s run by two to three people with one person overseeing it. They accept Medicaid, which would have been good. They take care of people with memory issues and who are in wheelchairs. It’s clean and organized and the space they would have provided for my mother was going to be a very clean space. The rooms were nicer. I think the residents were content and very accepting of their conditions.

Garden of Palms was very nice, and the room was fine. It's a non-sectarian community. The staff was very warm and helpful. I was very satisfied with my visit. The amenities were nice. It had a beauty salon and a pharmacy.

I found the Garden of Palms very comfortable. When I entered, everything was lovely. The setting was nice, and I felt very relaxed. The people greeted me very well. I spoke to the director and had a tour of the facility. It was very small and had only 65 patients, which was what I thought we wanted. Their activities were very good, things that the patients could do all day long. They had chef that made homemade food and not pre-packaged. They had music all the time in the building. You would hear music when you walked in the hallway.
All of that made me feel comfortable. I toured three others and they were not as comfortable as this one. But this was comfortable and caring. They had movies and musical entertainment several times a week. There were up to date movies every day, bingo, poker, black jack and other card games. They had daily physical therapy. They had three very nice meals a day. It was mostly a Jewish community, so they had the Sabbath every once in a while.

This is a very 'hamisha' facility with excellent care. I moved my parents from Florida to here, and is an excellent alternative to the Jewish Home. Kosher food, made fresh each day, enhances the experience, and the staff is kind, caring, warm, and enjoy being there. My parents are happy even though they never wanted to be in California, and I'm happy they are well taken care of.

I had my father here for about 5 months.
They were so loving and kind, the facility and my father, were always immaculate.
They have events and fun activities often.
They treated him, and me, like family.
I can't say enough good things about it.

I have nothing but great things to say about the Garden of Palms assisted living facility. My uncle was recently made a resident there and he's had a very smooth transition going from his home in North Hollywood to the facility in West Hollywood. The staff was extremely courteous and respectful and made they sure they did everything in their power to meet our needs. Its not an easy position to be placed in when you faced with putting a person of such importance to you in assisted living, but my family's worries were completely taken away by the friendly staff. The attention to detail and care given here is incredible as the meals dished out to their residents are very healthy and delicious. They also have a very great physical education and leisure program where they get their residents outside for some activities which all the residents look forward too. I am very pleased with how Garden of Palms handles their care patients and know my uncle is in a very good place.

This facility is located on a very busy business street. There was a lot of parking.
The construction outside of the garden was very nice too.
The common areas were nice. I remember when I walked in that the lobby was very large. It's pretty spacious for a smaller facility. The room that they watch TV in is pretty large.
My client says the room was too small, and it was a little smaller than usual.
My client didn't complain about the food. I didn't see much of the food, but I know my client kind of liked it.
I think the staff provided adequate services "“ it wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either.
I didn't like the color of the building.

I visited this facility
Garden of Palms was very pleasant. They were very friendly. The place was clean. The food that they presented for the people who visited was incredible. They were helpful and tried to please all of us. They showed us the best room and the worst room without hiding anything. The residents seemed to be very happy. The dining room was beautifully furnished. They had so many helpers. In fact, it was a one-to-one basis. The inside was better than the outside because it's on a busy street. Outside was a little noisy, but inside looked beautiful.
