Continuing Care Retirement Communities Communities in Palm Desert, CA

"I've seen Segovia at Palm Desert and it was very nice. I was visiting my great uncle there, and it's really a fabulous place. He was in the assisted living unit, and the place was literally like a country club. The food was excellent. I've had meals there several times. It was almost like going to a very nice restaurant. It was very, very close to that. They had a workout facility, a series of mailboxes inside (so that you didn't have to go out front to get your mail), on-call services for anything that you needed or wanted, movie nights, and events going on all the time. They also had a private room where you could have individual parties and a bar area that wasn't open all the time, but it could be open for different events. They had the best staff I've ever seen. They were like people in a hotel. If I came in to visit my great uncle, there was a process where I would have to sign in. They would give him a call and say that someone was here, just to make sure there's no stranger wandering and asking for somebody. I just liked everything about it. It's the gold standard."

"My friend has moved into Bayshire Rancho Mirage. We found that it was the best value. It's very nice and very clean. They have a lot of activities. They have a skilled nursing facility attached to it. My friend was very sick and went from the hospital directly into skilled nursing and is still there. When he comes out of skilled nursing, they will move him to assisted living and they'll take care of him there. The staff there is lovely. Everybody there is nice. Everybody has a great sense of humor. They all go out of their way to be pleasant. You couldn't ask for nicer people. With regards to activities, they have bingo, karaoke, woodworking, crafts, musical numbers, and entertainment. They have a lot of amenities, and it's a very nice facility. It's the best value that we found. We get the most for the money there."
