Memory Care Communities in Palm Springs, CA

"It is difficult to say because I lived through a period like no other(pandemic). Nevertheless, anyone interested in Independent Living at Atria Hacienda should know that at any time when there are episodes of of possible contagion there will be a lock down and such periods can be difficult to handle due to no direct contact with family. However, when all is normal your life can be perhaps as delightful as it was in your own home meeting new friends , no shopping for groceries, no cooking, no repairs etc, etc. There are a variety of activities for all tastes. During summer time you can enjoy the pool as well special outings and entertainment."

"I went to look at The Palms at La Quinta, and they were welcoming. There was a little chalkboard there saying, "Welcome." The receptionist who I spoke to was very kind, and she understood. The memory care is on the first floor but they do have two floors. And then she showed me what areas they have for the family to meet and move around. They answered all my questions. It was very nice. They gave me some freshly baked cookies, and I saw their menu. They have a chef who meets with the residents to discuss the menu and see if they like the menu. They can change the menus to whatever diet meets my mother's needs. The rooms are very clean. The whole place is very clean. You can have a private room or a shared room. They share a bathroom but not the rooms."

"I visited Caleo Bay for my parents. It was practically a new place, so it was very good. I would give this one a B rating, but this facility is a little larger, and I think they're not going to have that one-on-one care. As for the staff, everybody looked busy. The one who assisted me was very helpful. She explained everything thoroughly. She explained the precautionary measures, e.g., what they had on their bed and some sensors, and I like that. The room was a very good size, it was very clean, and I like the fact that they have those sensors for emergency situation. Also they have different activities. "

"My mom will be moving into Hacienda Senior Living Assisted Living & Memory Care. I like the friendliness of everybody. The center is very clean. When they toured us, the patients looked like they were very well taken care of. It's a very nice place. The staff who gave the tour was very friendly and knowledgeable. The rooms were very nice. They are in the process of doing some remodeling of some of the rooms, but they're very nice, almost like little apartments. The dining area was very nice. It's like a hacienda-type setting with a fireplace and everything. They have a beautiful courtyard in the middle with the rooms kind of going around the courtyard. It creates a nice view for the patients when they're in their rooms. They could look out the window and see the beautiful courtyard. When I toured, they were in the process of having lunch, but they toured us to community room areas where you could go and view TV and socialize with the other patients. They're very helpful with the paperwork because a lot of people don't know what to do and what kind of paperwork they're going to need. So, they're very helpful with that. The staff was very helpful. She was the one that provided a lot of the information on the paperwork that I would need from my mom's doctor and all that stuff. Also, from what I could see on the food that they were eating, it was very good. They were having chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes and carrots, and it was a very large portion. It looked more like a dinner than a lunch. "

"I not only visited, but I moved my mother into the Lakes on May 30th, and we are very happy with it. And, what I found was interesting as when we knew we needed a place to put my mother, at first I didn't think assisted living even in any way could be a possibility, but I thought, "Well, why don't I look into it?" And so what was explained -- and what I didn't quite get and probably a lot of people don't get -- is the fact that in assisted living, they have all kinds of supportive care. If you don't need any care, you don't have the care, but if you need help toileting or whatever, they have it. So it has been perfect, and my mom is very happy there. I am most impressed with the facility and the people. It is the perfect solution to what my mother needs right now at this time in her life. She is well cared for, and what I like is when she declines, the care can be increased. It is all very flexible, and I really like that. "

"It was very clean and very updated. It looked refreshing. It didn't feel like I was taking my mom to a sad place. The staff who took me on the tour was very helpful, very nice, answered lots of my questions, and went over everything. I was there around lunchtime, so I saw the dining area and it looked like they had a nice variety of food. They were doing arts and crafts at the time, but they were telling me that they also did bingo, they would go to the casino, and there were plenty of activities for them to do."

"The location of Maple Guest Home was perfect. The facility was excellent. I liked the patient-to-staff ratio. Everyone was very professional. I feel that they would be able to perfectly supply the need that we need for my mom. They have a place outside. Mom likes outside to where she can be nice and comfortable and get sunshine. I liked the whole atmosphere."

"My wife is in Windsor Court memory care. The surrounding is okay. They have a kitchen and a recreation room. The staff seems to be doing their job, but I'm dealing mostly with hospice home care."

"It was very high end. It was a beautiful facility. I do not know if we would want to pay that kind of monthly amount, but there was some interesting things that they do periodically with incentive plans and care plans that might make it a little more reasonable. The staff was awesome. We had a great conversation, and we talked about a lot of different things. "

"My father stayed at Desert Cottages. It was a private home, it was well-kept, and well-maintained. Liz was the administrator, and she was really good. They've had no COVID outbreaks, and no confirmed cases in the facility."

"I visited Jasmin Terrace's assisted living in Yucca Valley. I dealt with one of the managers and I was very impressed by the person. She was very pleasant and very nice. They would take you to the doctor and any place else you wanted, so they had transportation if you wanted to go to the grocery store or something. They would let you bring your own television and microwave, and I like that. The structure of the building was very nice. The room I saw was large and the atmosphere was pleasant."

"I am very pleased with the quality of the service my mother and I receive. The staff is caring. They take care of everything so I do not have to worry. "

"Desert Hills was the blessing in a hard situation. Making the choice to place my mother into a memory care facility was the hardest decision that I have ever had to make. But Desert Hills truly made the process easy and smooth. They helped me get through all the hoops of gathering documents from the doctor. Once my mom was there we saw and immediate improvement in her, she was socializing again, joining in and doing activities, visits started to go well again with family. The communication from the facility with myself has been amazing and made me feel so much more at ease with everything. I would recommend Desert Hills to anyone looking for a good memory care. Especially because it is only a memory care facility. Their staff has been wonderful and treat my mother like family."
