Palmilla Senior Living is really beautiful. It's a very classic type of style. It has a lot of patios and outdoor spaces that seem nice. There's a little bit of an old-fashioned feel about it, kind of a really grand home or a nice hotel type of thing. The staff was really friendly. I think he might've been substituting for the regular person, but he knew the things to talk about and what to tell us, and seemed competent. I liked him.

Palmilla Senior Living is a vibrant community. They offer aging in place, so you can go from independent living to assisted living and stay in the same place. The food was fine. Nothing special. The facility itself looked like a very nice building. It's an active community. Residents go, intermingle, interact, and play games with each other.

My mother is at Palmilla Senior Living. We are just impressed with everything that they have, the facility itself and the people. We're very happy here. She has a one-bedroom. Three meals are included in her fee every day. She likes the food very well, and she's very picky. They've got activities throughout the day. They've got a movie theater, a puzzle room, and a library. They have a little of everything. The staff members are fantastic. It's a beautiful facility.

Palmilla Senior Living was very nice. We were very pleased with it that's why we went ahead and put a deposit in, however, they didn't have enough availability of the units that we were looking for. They're one of the few that offer three levels of care, independent, assisted, and then memory care, including nursing care. It was very clean and the food was good although we didn't eat there. The woman that was there, her name was Macy, she never offered for us to eat there. They were very nice and the rooms were nice. They showed us the unit that they had available, but they were for one individual only. They were really small for my husband myself. They have happy hour, they have libraries, they have a theater, they have a game room, and an exercise room. It looks very nice.

My aunt is in Palmilla Senior Living. They're just very thorough with her care, her medications, keeping her up to date as far as doctors appointments, and they're always keeping them busy. They have a priest come in, so they have a church there. They have activities for the residents, and they do a lot of work as far as memory goes. We're really happy with it. She's very happy with the food. They have a wide variety from fish to different types of meat. The kitchen is always open; there's always snacks for them, and they make sure that they stay hydrated. It's really nice.

Spacious Rooms. Excellent facility, nice dining room. awesome residents. Excellent attentive staff. Very loving, caring and supportive. Easy access to location. My parents did not get involved in many of the activities so I cannot comment on that, The offerings look decent. Would highly recommend this location,

I looked at Palmilla Senior Living, it was great, and the staff was very nice. The rooms I toured were kind of small, but very clean. The dining area was very nice, but I didn't eat there. The place was beautiful.

Palmilla Senior Living was very nice. The big downside for us with it was the location since their doctors are far. Palmilla will take them to their doctors but there's a fee because of the distance that the doctors were away from the facility. The staff who helped me was very nice. It was sitdown dining and my friends liked that.

Palmilla Senior Living has a mix of independent and assisted living which gives you an age range. It's a very nice facility. It has a lot of activities inside and they even have a movie theater with popcorn. They just started a new food policy where breakfast runs from 7:30 to 10:30 and lunch from 11:30 to 1:30, and so on, so that's so considerate for people who are forced to eat at certain time all the time. I liked the fact that there's a variety of food and the people who lived there picked the menu for once a month. The rooms were nice. They have a physical therapist and nurse on-staff. They have a buffet in the dining area and they have outside walking. They have a group that gets together in the morning around the facility. The gym was the best I saw and the guy, Anthony, whom I worked with, was very helpful.

The best thing about Palmilla for my mom and dad is the transitional memory care. We did not want our parents to be separated and the transitional memory care program is an answer to prayer. Also the people are very friendly and helpful, the facility is clean, bright and quite lovely. I could go on and on. So happy to have found Palmilla and am looking forward to my parents moving in!

Palmilla Senior Living was very good, and the staff was very helpful, friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming. They had a nice exercise room, a billiards table, and a poker room. They have a good array of activities. We had lunch there, and the food was pretty good and the dining room was nice. They had a barber and beauty shop, linen service, and personal laundry service. It's both independent and assisted living. They had a van for transportation.

We visited Palmilla Senior Living, but they did not have any rooms or apartments available. The common area was wonderful. It was a great place. The staff was excellent, friendly, and accommodating. The grounds and the layout were good. It would have been our first choice for our parents. It had more than what I had expected and the price in comparison with the others was reasonable. It was a really wonderful place. I would recommend them to others 100%. It was newer and a little more updated as far as current styles went.

I liked Palmilla, but they had a very long waiting list. It did not feel very welcoming when I walked in. It was like an office.

Palmilla staff was friendly. They didn't have an apartment like what we wanted. The residents were happy. We didn't like the colors and the decor. It was not pleasing to us.

Palmilla Senior Living was a brand new facility that has been opened less than two years ago. Our experience was very positive. The atmosphere was excellent with wonderful view, extremely nice setting. We would be very comfortable there. They are one of the two places that is on our list. The staff that we met were extremely nice people and we enjoyed interacting with them. The food was excellent and they have a really good meal plan where you can eat anytime from 7AM to 7PM, and have anything on the menu which appears to be excellent.

We visited and liked Palmilla. Everybody was very nice. We had lunch there, and the food was good. We liked that it wasn’t as large as others. They had casitas, which were like little cabins that included a garage, which I liked because I was still driving. It would give us space for our car and also a place for my husband to have a little workshop, which you could not do if you were in the main building. I liked that it had the assisted living and memory care on campus. It was spotless and super clean. The people were very nice.

My mother has been a resident of the memory care unit at Palmilla for one year. Previously, she was in memory care in another facility. The difference is like night and day. Palmilla's memory care unit is clean, bright, and fresh. The residents are treated with attention and compassion no matter how bad their day is going. A variety of activitiesare offered and the staff does it's best best to create a homey environment at a very difficult time. The Director of the Memory Care, Pat, has brought a new level of competency and compassion to the facility. She makes suggestions and reaches out to our family in a manner I have not seen before. Thank you everyone for making a very difficult time of life as pleasant as possible for residents and family.

The room of my father at Palmilla Senior Living is a small studio because he used to be in a two-bedroom apartment. He is getting so much confusion because it is too big for him. They have memory care which is extremely important now because my dad’s situation is changing in that direction very quickly. They have nurses on-staff, and there is doctor who visits the facility frequently. It is a lot convenient for my brother, and myself. The staff has been very good. They were very responsive to him. They are going above, and beyond what I requested them to do. They get dad involved in the exercise classes, and art classes; which is very unlike my dad, and they made him do a butterly magnet. I am very happy with that, and everytime I would call, there is always somebody with him assisting him with something. They have a physical therapy group. One of the best things that is working out really well for my dad is he can choose to dine in any one of their two dining rooms, and he can eat anytime he wants to. Their food was pretty good, and my brother was impressed with the breakfast. I had plain-hamburger, and it was really good; grilled with no extenders. Parking was an issue though.

What was kind of neat about Palmilla is that they had all levels: assisted living, memory care, and just regular care for people of all types. They had situations where the husband or the wife is in the memory care unit and the other spouse is in the other section, and they're able to go and spend time with each other as much as they want during the day. The rooms were pretty roomy. They want people to bring in their own furnishings, so that they're not like a stranger in their own home. The staff was also very friendly, and when I walked in, they said, "Hello! Thank you for coming. How may I help you?"

We did visit Palmilla Senior Living. My wife liked it, but I thought it was just too big and impersonal. It was too large, and there were too many people there. However, the staff was fine. They were very professional. Also the facility's sanitation was excellent. It was very clean.

We went over to Palmilla. It looked nice and clean. The rooms and apartments were adequate. They had a private dining room you can reserve if you want to have your family in for a meal or a party. It was nice.

I went to Palmilla Senior Living, and it's a 5-star place and very expensive. Even though I didn’t have any appointment, they still took me on a tour, and that amazed me. The place is really amazing. The staff who toured me was very nice and informative. She told me a lot of things that they did there. They have two different restaurants -- one for assisted living and one for people that have memory issues. They a have place where people get together for happy hours. They have a theater, and their rooms are really nice.

I found Palmilla Senior Living online. The staff did a very nice tour and answered any questions that we had. The apartments and the dining room were very pleasant. They have exercises, card activities, movies, and transportation. It seemed to be a quite open and very pleasant surrounding.

My mother has been here since July 2013. It's like living in a hotel-brand new, good food, lots of activities, transportation, helpful and nice staff. I can come and go at any time to visit her. I do think the assisted living costs are a little bit high, though. I would recommend Palmilla. My mother is has her own apt and is pretty happy there.

Palmilla is a beautiful facility. I would absolutely recommend this place. It's brand new and it's very clean. The rooms were quite beautiful. They have all these handicap accessibility necessary in a bathtub and in the bathroom. What I also like about this facility is that they have many activities and they even have gardening. They also do exercises and video. They even have a little movie theatre. They have nurses in the facility as well as doctors coming in. They invited us for lunch and my mother loves the food. It was delicious. Their dining room is almost restaurant style. They give you a menu for your food selection.
