I would say it is overall average. Sometimes short staffed. Some of the landscape has been removed and not replaced. Rent increased by $400 after the first year. Since I haven't lived in another living facility, I don't really have anything to compare. Overall would probably recommend.
Atria Palm Desert
4.0
Overall, this is the best place for her, although no where is perfect, staff are willing to listen and work together for Moms best care. The entertainment and food are great! Sometimes they are low in staff. It is expensive, but worth it!
