Paloma Landing Gracious Retirement Living

Barri's Daughter

Paloma Landing was the perfect find for my mom as a senior residence. Her apartment floorplan is spacious and the facilities are well-maintained, bright and sunny, and easy to access. The services are all-encompassing and mom will tell you that the food is some of the best she has had anywhere, especially the homemade soups prepared by the chefs. The residents here are a diverse group of individuals with fascinating life experiences that help fill her days with engagement and community. Best of all are the community managers, Joe and Bruna, who genuinely care about each individual resident as though they are part of their own family. From running activities to managing staff to taking time to know each resident by name and how they take their coffee, their dedication to making a difference others’ lives is evident in everything they do. Looking for a terrific facility in a location with perfect weather and the best service around? Paloma Landing is the answer to your search!

I toured Paloma Landing Gracious Retirement Living, and it was very nice, but I wasn't that impressed with it. Of course, they provided three meals a day, but I was not that impressed. I wanted to have a refrigerator and a stove so that I could cook occasionally if I decided to. They said that I could get a small refrigerator, but I wanted to have a regular kitchenette-type thing, so I did not apply to live there. The apartments were very, very nice, very clean, and well taken care of, but because they don't have any kitchenettes, I decided not to stay there. The staff were very, very gracious, welcoming, and caring. They have a gym, they have a very nice dining room and there is a patio where you could sit and enjoy the weather or read or whatever. They have a beauty salon, too.

Paloma Landing Retirement Community was very nice. The girl that helped us, Sarah, was very friendly and very thorough. It was clean and the people were friendly. The units that they had were clean and very nice looking, and the staff said that they had been remodeled. The dining room was very nice and clean. The only drawback was that the room doesn't have a full kitchen. It has a sink, cabinets, and a microwave. They have a community laundry room. Everything's included, including the three meals a day. I think the only thing you pay for is your telephone.

My mother lived in Paloma Landing Retirement Community, and it's a great facility. The staff was very good and very professional. The food was good, the chef was excellent, the room was up to date, everything worked, and they had balconies in most apartments. It was very clean, very modern, and it was a beautiful building.

My father-in-law lived here briefly, 3-4 months. It didn’t work out, because we underestimated his dementia and he was unable to function in an independent living situation, even with extra caregiver support. Residents are expected to manage their own schedules, and appear for mealtimes and activities. There are a nice variety of outings and activities and my father-in-law enjoyed the food. The managers were so helpful and caring, and tried hard to make it work for my father-in-law. I would recommend this without reservations to anyone whose abilities match the requirements of independent living.

My mother-in-law has been in Paloma Landing for two to three years. It is a very nice facility. She has been very happy and comfortable there. Her room is rather small. It is sufficient and big enough for her, but if I was her age, I would want more space. You can pay more for a two-bedroom, and some of them are bigger. They do bingo, movie nights, and have transportation within a 10-mile radius. They all have dinner at the same time. It is in a good location. I think the people that work there treat their residents very respectfully and are very attentive.

Paloma Landing Retirement Community was an independent living place with no assisted living. It provided meals, housekeeping, and laundry. Our apartment was very nice and spacious with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. We did not care for the meal service because it was not restaurant-style. Breakfast was at 8:00, lunch at 12:30, dinner at 5:30, and that was it. It was not convenient at all. The place was quite nice with beautiful apartments and a beautiful building in a nice location. It was well maintained but not suitable for our needs.

We were on the waiting list at Paloma Landing for my mother. We really like this community. It was very nice. It would have been my choice except that they didn't have assisted living. They did have nurse on staff that could come in and do basic stuff. The facility was beautiful. It was the best of everything -- e.g., the best food, beautiful art work, and beautiful colors. It was just a beautiful place. They had friendly staff. Everything was well done. Paloma Landing was what we were looking for until we figured my mother wouldn't be able to stay there.

I was able to visit Paloma Landing, and it was absolutely beautiful. I like that it is also conveniently located. Their activities are very appropriate and seems like they have a lot of options. I was very pleased with the cleanliness. The staff was very knowledgeable and very helpful. They even suggested to me that I might qualify for military assistance.

As an independent private caregiver, I had the honor of caring for several clients who resided at Paloma Landing. True the staff has changed hands, but no manager will be able to please EVERYONE, all the time. As far as the food goes, most folks living ther eat small portions of food anyway and fresh fruit and baked goodies usually are in the dining room up for grabs. The facility is immaculate and you could eat off the floors. The thing folks must remember is that this facility is for INDEPENDENT seniors. When health or mental situations arise, families MUST take the initiative to get some private help for their family member and not expect the facility or management to be that caregiver. Overall an excellent place for your independent loved one.

We liked the Paloma Landing, and it was near our neighborhood. When you walked in, it was like you were walking on a cruise ship. It was beautiful and brand new. It was definitely a high end facility. The main lobby where the dining room was, is huge. The second floor had a balcony on the corner of one side. When you walked down the hall, it was open, and you could look over the dining hall and the people. The staff was excellent, and it had transportation. I loved it.

I was at Paloma Landing for eight months. It was very nice, but they keep changing managers. I left because the manager was being so mean to the elderly and I'm one of the youngest people there, so it upset me. We first had temporary staff, Karen and David, and they were fantastic. They just went and cleaned up the place when it was all a mess. From what I heard though, they let them go. They also had a really good activity director, David, and he was excellent. With David, they had a lot of activities. However, they also fired him. Everyone was very sad then. Now they actually got someone from another facility, she's nice, but she's not David. With regards to accommodation, that was all really nice, but to be stressed out, it's better for me to be in an apartment where I'm not stressed. They also served very small portions of food and they wouldn't give you seconds. I had a lot of trouble there because I was allergic to tomatoes and they didn't have a lot of choices. They were not giving you a lot. What I want for them to improve on is to have very caring and compassionate managers. The facility was beautiful. It felt like a hotel. If they would get the right managers in there and maybe a little more food, then it would be okay.

I have been at Paloma Landing for a visit and the facility is very well groomed. It’s very elegant and the environment is very pleasant. They have three kinds of room; a studio, one bedroom, and a two bedroom. They have large rooms. People can get around if they have a little wheelchair. The layout is very organized. The staff are absolutely wonderful. They were able to invite me to eat there and the food is really nice. It's just that during my three-time visit I found out that they changed three mangers and that alarms me because some of the manager are pleasant, but some of them are still new and they don’t have a whole background about my finances or the facility in general.

My mom has been living in Paloma Landing for two years. It was cheaper and she's independent enough to handle it. The beauty of it is it's not huge, it's probably 150 people and it's easy to get around. They cleaned the rooms weekly and changed the sheets and towels. The place is secure; it's locked at night at 8:00. They allow small pets. They could improve on the meals though, as they'll serve big carrots sticks so they need to be more aware of the clientele that they have and the ability to be able to eat certain foods.
