This facility doesn’t meet the basic care of residents, extended periods of no showers and changing of clothes (6 days). Subpar food! Just to name a few. Therapist’s are the only department that had a A+ rating. There were a couple nurses that were outstanding. The Administrator and Director of nursing don’t have a clue as to what is happening. If my loved ones need care in the future this WOULD NOT BE where I would send them.

My mother found the food to be unacceptable. She came in needing wound and left in worse shape than she started. Worst of all the general cleanliness was poor to the point roaches were seem regularly

I visited Golden Palms. It was very good. They took the time on a Sunday because I happened to be there that weekend to give me a one-on-one tour of the entire facility. They're great at follow-up. They're very professional and very descriptive. The experience was very, very good. The staff during the tour was great at communication, professional and prompt. She's very resourceful in terms of her answers to all my questions. She was great. They had rooms of different sizes. This was a facility that does both independent living and assisted living and I got to see both sides. They probably had about 8 to 10 different floor plans, and I did get to see a good sample of those. Some of the rooms were more updated than others. They have a choice in terms of carpet versus floors. The appliances in the independent living (they don't allow them in assisted living as much) could be updated a little bit more, but everything looked clean and tidy. Maybe just some of the floor plans were a little bit more on the older side. I was pleased with the amenities. One of the biggest draws to me is that it seemed like they always had a lot of different things going on from outings to different themed events for holidays. They had game nights, and they had a vast array of a lot of different opportunities for people to get together, either as a group or smaller than a one-on-one. The calendar was very full in terms of things that people could do if they wanted to. They also have a pool and a trail around the facility that people can go on for walks. I like that aspect of it. It's not a luxurious place by any means. It's not a five-star resort type of place, but it's a wonderful facility. I was very pleased. The staff was great. They also have a rehab center and mom was there at the rehab center and she loved the food. I did get to see a menu and it looked like they had a lot of great choices. It wasn't just a fixed menu. They very much customize it based on special diets if you need that. That was pretty impressive. I wasn't in person when she was in rehab. I was there when she was in the hospital.

I chose Golden Palms Retirement Center and Healthcare mostly because the hospital and medical facilities are right next to each other. And also an LDS church is right on the property. It's an older building, it's got narrow hallways and not good lighting. But the rooms were excellent, they were nice. The dining room was also nice. The only person I met was the salesperson. They had all the normal activities that everybody else does. It looked a little shopworn. In terms of amenities, they have the standard ones that everybody else does; it's a pretty standard place. The value for the money is standard also; it's a dollar-for-dollar with everybody else. It's still expensive but it was alright. The place is like 30 years old. The outdoors is nice and exceptional.

My wife and I have been at the Golden Palms for years now. There are some improvements, some have remained status quo, and some have gotten worse. They are re-roofing the entire complex. Everything is so far tolerable, but the quality of the meals are not the same as they were when we moved in. They increased our rent $500 a month, but they're very open on what they're spending it on. It's convenient to the medical facilities and shopping. The entire community is very good. It's considered the place to be when it was in its prime 10 years ago. It was just allowed to suffer from inadequate management. It's clean, and the workmanship is still here. My wife's ring had gone down the drain and within a day they were up here to see if the ring could be found in the plumbing. They're very responsive, but they let a couple of knowledgeable workers go. All in all, it's working alright and they are trying. Just this week, we went from buffet service back to waitresses serving our meals at the table.

I really liked the Golden Palms Retirement Center and Healthcare. I enjoyed it. I had an excellent lunch. The rooms were really big and had really nice, big closets. It’s very well-kept,beautiful, and clean. They had arts and crafts, games, a lot of activities, and nice scenery around.

I've now had 2 relatives(Dad,brother) spend time here. Both had brain injuries. For simple therapy, they're adequate. They have limited facilities for therapy. My brother's brain injury was serious. A Psychiatrist was called in to consult on his anxiety due to his brain. Basically the psychiatrist chewed out my brother for not doing certain activities even though he had never received any medical advice on this issue. They have no Dr. on staff. Social worker pretended to care but dragged his feet on issues. Even though the social worker, executive director, and social worker make rounds once per week, their limited effort shows how little they care. Nursing staff are afraid to interact with patients. They just go through the motions of doing their job.

Golden Palms is very nice. They are more sophisticated and they have new buildings but everything is alike. It looks like two or three motel rooms put together. The accommodations are comparable with other places. The staff is very nice and the lady would bend over backwards to help you. They have security in every place and they’re run well.

My mom has been living in The Palms for a month. It's a housing urban development so the fees are average. They have transportation services for the residents that need to go to doctor's appointment or to the store. They have recreational activities and they allow pets. It was just a nice community.

Everything is fantastic at Golden Palms. It is a first-class facility. The dining room is fantastic. They have quite a huge selection on the menu. Everything is like going to a first-class dining room. The chef would put out two different kinds of specials every evening. They even have champagne on certain Sundays, or a candlelight dinner for the residents. It's really, really good. However, my father is wheelchair-bound and there are a lot of things he couldn't go to because they didn't have the wheelchair lifts that lifts you into a van. They have facilities for wheelchair. They just couldn't take him in a wheelchair.

I believe my experiences here were pretty good. I have had 2 family members live at Golden Palms, and they both sadly enough were comfortable enough to pass away there. These were both recent occurrences, but I believe that it will always be a good place for elderly people.

Golden Palms Nursing Home, was a nice facility that I got the opportunity to visit. I got to visit Golden Palms on several different occasions. First time was when I did my clinical rotations for my CNA program. Then again to visit a resident I had met while doing my clinical rotations. Last time I visited was when I went Christmas Caroling with my high school choir The residents seemed to be content with their surroundings as well as with the staff. The rooms were alright. They are about the same size of regular hospital rooms. I did not get to see the rooms upstairs where the other residents lived. I believe those are the assisted living apartments. The dining room is very lovely. The chandelier that is in the middle is beautiful. It really brings the whole room together. The lobby is very nice as well. Overall everything was very clean and organized. I wouldn't mind living there if I needed to.
