Overall it is too big of a complex. There were times that they forgot to empty trash or make the bed. There were pills that dad was taking and we didn't know why. The in house doctor was very hard to get with.

Needs better cost transparency
We were handled very well, so from that standpoint they did great. The facility food and everything seem very good. However, the biggest downside was that we were not advised about all the extra charges there would be. I was helping a friend get in and he's there but gets charged for anything extra for instance if they bring a meal to his room, they charge five dollars. That mounts up over time. They charge extra for assistance with bathing, with assistance for medication's basically his [Amount Removed] a month turns into[Amount Removed]. It would've been very helpful to know all of that in advance. I would've given them much higher marks if they had given us the sheet with all the extra charges before he moved in. Then we could've made a better informed decision.

Overpriced and does not provide advertised services
I paid [Amount removed] for ten days of service and they are trying to charge even more. The nursing staff couldn’t even detect that I was ill but when I transferred facilities, they still charged another month’s rent and drug care saying they could take care of me even though I needed more care.

The palmilla facility was clean, quiet, and very nice. We did like that it is a active community. At this time is was a little out of our price range. That was really the main detouring factor for us when looking for a new home for my mother.

Wonderful Sales Representative.
I recently had an opportunity to work with [name removed] at Palmilla Senior Living. [name removed] approach was gentle and informative. There was no hard sell, there was no pressure. He listened and understand when we described our cousin’s personality and need for quiet and privacy. Our cousin had been overwhelmed the prior day on another tour. We pre-toured Palmilla to save her from possibly another bad experience. When we returned with our cousin, [name removed] put her at ease immediately. We could not believe she was interacting with him herself, whereas in the prior facility, she was mostly mute! [name removed] was so respectful, kind and understanding we all knew we had made the right decision to continue looking. He let us sit together without interference and have lunch and time to talk amongst ourselves. We actually made a decision before leaving the facility. Based upon our experience with [name removed] alone, we trusted our cousin to Palmilla Senior Living.

The staff was very caring. I really liked the activities that they did in memory care. They made sure to include every person in the activities. They took those that could travel out to activities like bowling, restaurants and museums. The director took suggestions for food from families and instituted changes based on suggestions.

We chose this facility because of the quality of care, affordable cost, and convenient location. The staff has been welcoming and caring, and we feel comfortable with the support provided to residents. I would recommend that others take time to meet with the staff leaders and ask questions so they can better understand how the facility is managed and the level of care they provide.

The activities staff have provided a great variety of activities and special events are really special. Great decision!

Palmilla is a clean, open, modern facility but they only had two apartments available and neither one met my needs. In particular, if you’re looking for an assisted living apartment for a loved one and yourself, both need to qualify for assistance. This requirement was a game killer for me. Additionally, Palmilla’s west side city location makes for an excessive commute from our current east side home.

The buildings were clean and inviting. Everyone was very pleasant. Our hostess was very thorough and answered all our questions fully. The apartments look to be spacious with lots of light from the windows. My only complaint, and it has nothing to do with the establishment, is that it is really far from my family, doctors, and friends on the east side of town. I am also finding it hard to imagine the downsizing required for such a move. But, again, nothing to do with the [removed name] itself. I am looking at all the possibilities for my future care. Thank you so much for your time and information. One never knows when a change might be required.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know New Mexico’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about New Mexico’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

A Place for Mom has scored Palmilla Senior Living 9.2 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.   We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.   Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
