Overall, I had a good tour at Palms at St. Lucie West. The community was clean, and it offered many activities. I like the fact that there were assisted living activities that independents could attend, as well as separate independent activities specifically for them, which was a nice touch. The facility was all enclosed in one area, and that was nice, too. The staff member who gave you the tour was a young associate, and he has been there for a couple of years now. We looked at the menu, and we walked around the eating area. One of the downsides I thought personally is that, while they separate the assisted living from the independent living as far as the times offered for lunch and dinner, they only opened up a one-hour window for each, and that was a little restraining. Maybe with assisted living, you get a little prodding, but with independent living, you don't get any prodding to say, 'Hey, it's 11:30, and you got 40 minutes left.' So I thought it would have been nice to have a larger window available, even if it meant reduced food. In other words, full-up hot food service for this one hour, and then maybe grab-and-go something not as hot for the next two hours, and maybe have a soup and salad bar available. I was turned off a little bit by the food plan there. They had various physically oriented activities that were very helpful, like a chair yoga type thing. A very shallow heated pool is available. The mental activities, I felt, were good. I was really looking for both mental activities and a little bit of physical activities, and they both seemed very good.

I toured Palms at St. Lucie West. It was very nice. It was good service, good food, and it seemed like they were paying proper attention to most of the needs of the people who lived there. They were excellent.

Palms at St. Lucie West was a very good location for us because it's only one mile away from where we live right now and we're familiar with the locale, the stores, and the whole thing. It's a good area of Cashmere so that's a high factor. I liked the openness and the friendliness of the place. The activities seemed to be pretty good. The rooms were nice and the meals were above average. The only problem is that there are not too many spaces available and it's one of the smaller places.

What I liked the most about Palms at St. Lucie West was the sense of familiarity that the employees had with the residents and that they seemed to be pretty caring. I liked how they were dealing with them. I saw them doing some activities, like playing bingo and stuff. We toured the memory care area and I liked their level of interest in the residents. They had a lot of activities and I thought the rooms were nice, clean, and well cared for.

I went to The Palms at St. Lucie West. The tour was very nice. The lady was very informative. She showed me around and everything. The facility was old-fashioned and that's what my mother probably would like. They offered food, but I wasn't hungry at the time. They gave me some homemade cookies, which were good. The staff showed me everything like the sitting area, the place where they eat, the place where they watch TV, and the place where they play games and stuff like that. The rooms were tiny, but you don't want them to stay in the room and you want them to get out. That's the whole idea, not to stay in the room. The tour was very good. The staff was very nice.

Palms at St. Lucie West is very nice, but it wasn't as beautiful or comfortable as the place we chose. The person who showed us around was very nice, and kept checking back in with us. We checked the dining area, and it was lovely. Really nice. There were many people playing cards. They probably almost have the same calendar as most places.

I like living here at Palms at St. Lucie West. The food and the programs they have are good. I have no complaints. I would recommend this to anybody who wants to live here. I play Bingo every day and I have my own TV. I usually try to get involved in whatever they have. I'm quite happy here. Everybody's helpful and friendly. I have no complaints at all, except the food is too good and I'm gaining weight. The place is nice. They keep everything nice. They have good activities. The rooms are roomy. I have a really large walk-in with a little kitchenette and a small area for my computer and desk and you walk into this big area where my bed and chair and furniture are. It's fine for a single person, and to me it's perfect.

Palms of St. Lucie West and its rooms were very lovely. They did not have a lot of amenities, but they had a pool and a bus that travelled to certain areas in the town. The apartments we saw had their own mini-kitchen.

We're in Palms of St. Lucie West. They're very caring and nice. My husband's been sick for a while, so we've been getting our meals in our unit at o extra charge, which is very wonderful. There's no smell at all. We're in the independent side.

I liked Palms at St. Lucie West very much. It was my favorite of all. I liked it the best because they have a beautiful dining room, very caring staff, the layout itself was to my liking, and I thought it was very pretty. It was very modern and very professional, and they seemed very caring.

My mom is going into the Palms at St. Lucie West. The best things about the place are that it is clean, everybody speaks English, and everybody knows what is going on. You can have a studio, you can have a one-bedroom, or you can have a duplex-like home. The common dining room is pretty much like any other dining room, but it is fairly big.

The first facility I've visited was Palms at St. Lucie West. They treated me very nicely, and their presentation was excellent. And what I like about this place is that it's very small. They have a lot of activities going on. There was music coming in. They play bingo. There's always food available. I was able to speak to the chef, and their food is of very high quality. It was excellent.

The Palms of St. Lucie West is a very, very nice place, but the amount they wanted was just too much for us. We didn’t really see the rooms because they told us nothing was available.

My mom is in Palms at St. Lucie West, and the place is good. The staff is very nice and very friendly. They are also attentive. She said the food is better now than it was when she first moved there. They have activities like bingo, arts and crafts, bible study, and singing. They also go out for lunch.

I went to The Palms. I thought they were lovely, and if I decided I was going to go, that's where I would probably would move to. It was very nice. They were roomy. The lady over there was very nice, but like I said, I was not ready to go yet. They had a pool and a clubhouse. They had games like cards and things like that. The staff was very nice to deal with.

The Palms was very nice. The homes were smaller. The staff was very nice, and the people were friendly, but they’re all very old. They had regular dining room, and it was very nice. We just dealt with the manager, and she was very friendly. The people that we observed with the residents; they seemed to be very caring. The rooms look adequate, but we are more interested in the homes not the rooms. The location is OK.

We went to the Palms, and they welcomed us really nicely. Everything was really good. When we saw its restaurant, we saw everybody eating, and the facility was really, really clean. They took us on a tour, and they had a couple of ladies there that showed us their living quarters. We were very impressed with them. The living quarters were small, but they were efficient. People were really accommodating. They showed us the entire facility, and they said if we have any questions, we could call them at any time. They were just extremely helpful.

When you come in at Palms at St. Lucie West, they did have somebody at the doorway to see who was coming in or out. It was a very nice facility. It's also very clean and I didn’t notice any smell there. They have a very nice garden and access to the gardens even the memory people, so that was a very nice thing. They had games and a lot of people were playing bingo. They were nice to share their menu. The staff were very friendly and also very nice. They were also very sympathetic. For me, it was a little expensive because it’s solely private pay.

My Mom has lived at The Palms for the past four years. I am truly impressed with all the wonderful and caring staff members. I feel comfortable with her living at The Palms, and it has given me peace of mind. She goes out to lunch every week and has made friends with all the staff.

As soon as we entered the door of Palms, my mom said that it wasn't what she wanted. The lobby entrance was very small and it did not appear professional. There were people shouting back at the floors. It was small and cluttered and not really very inviting. The woman that sat down and talked with us seemed very agitated. She was not calm and welcoming. She seemed very high strung. The set up for the independent living were actually separate villas. So, she wouldn't be in a group of people. My mom wanted to be around with people. The place was not calming and welcoming.

The Palms of St Lucie West is the most wonderful place for my family members. Two years ago my Aunt was moved from San Diego California to live by me and I was overwhelmed with the process of finding an assisted living facility that would provide her with a caring supportive lifestyle. I toured many facilities and finally chose The Palms. They more than exceeded my expectations and not only did they support my Aunt, but provided me with so much information and help I will always be grateful to them. My Aunt sadly passed away this last February and I immediately added my Mother's name to the waiting list1. This month she moved into their Memory Care Facility and is thriving. My mother had been in two facilities in Oregon with many problems, but now that she is at The Palms, things are going so well my brother and sisters are relieved and ecstatic. I cannot say enough about The Palms, every level of this operation is top-notch and professional in every way. I visit several times a week and the place is just buzzing with positive activities, music and fun. The staff have become our friends and the relationship we have has given me such peace of mind knowing that my Mom is being cared for and loved by these remarkable people. I am so grateful I found them!!!!!

When it came time to move my father into an Assisted Living Facility, I shopped around and had visited the Palms. My first choice was not to go with due to their size (being afraid, my dad wouldn't get the attention I felt he needed as it was a somewhat large facility). So I opted for a smaller facility, which turned out to be a bad choice on my part. After a year in the smaller facility it was time for a change, I went back and revisited the Palms. Just like the first visit, the staff were friendly and welcoming. My father and I had decided we would give them a try. We are so happy we did. The staff are simply amazing! The care that they provide my father with comes from the heart. The nursing staff show a true genuine concern for my father and his well being. The support staff are consistent with their follow through to meet my fathers needs. The dinning room staff are wonderful in the ability to make each meal an enjoyable experience. Not to mention the food is fantastic. They provide many activities that meet my fathers needs as well as the privacy he expects. The folks at the Palms have grown to be more than just staff at a facility, the are a warm, loving, caring part of our family and we thank them.

The Palms has a good reputation. It is about 5 minutes from where I live. My husband has been there for about 3 months now. He's doing pretty good and he's comfortable in there. I spend most Sundays with him. I think they have about 48 people in the whole place. It's not that big. He said the food is pretty good, the staff is very nice and very concerned. He was going into an assisted living unit. However, he had an incident the first week he was there, in which I was upset about. He got confused one night and went into the wrong room. Since then, we have him in the memory care unit to make sure that he doesn't wander at night anymore. I am not thrilled about it, but he's comfortable there and he's safe. He does participate in some activities. They're very good about giving him his pills, medication and they help him with his hearing aid. They keep the room clean and do the laundry. He doesn't complain much about it.
