Independent Living community in La Quinta, CA, offering a supportive environment for seniors.
“My cheeks are rosy and I am walking better!” is a direct quote from my 87 year old mother who has been living at The Palms At La Quinta Gracious Retirement Living for more than a month now. She was previously living in an independent senior living community in South Carolina. Moving to The Palms has been life changing to say the least. On site managers Vicki and Robbie, Dawn (marketing manager), Stephanie (activities coordinator) and Lenny (concierge) make an amazing team. All of them have welcomed my mother in such a way she feels at ease asking questions and for help. This was not the case at her previous community and she basically stayed in her room for most of the day. Dawn set her up with an “ambassador” who sat with her during the first few days of meals. This is very important because going to a meal alone at a new place can cause a lot of anxiety. She likes the fact there is an array of activities like Spanish class, sing along, etc. and wonderful events. There is good energy in the community and you can feel it right away.
She believes her cheeks are rosy because she is eating better. What you read online about the food is very true. Being served restaurant style makes the meal like an event. There are many choices and she tells me every day what she ate! Having on site managers is a very big deal. At her previous location the manager would leave at 5:00pm M-F and college kids sat in the front lobby. Having Robbie and Vicki on site is very comforting.
There are many excellent reviews here and I can say they are true. The rooms are very nice and the apartment complex is pristine. I would definitely recommend The Palms at La Quinta Gracious Retirement Living.
I have reached the point in my life where I have begun to consider independent retirement living and have started checking out possibilities in the Coachella Valley. I recently attended a Hawaiian Brunch at The Palms in La Quinta and left most impressed with my experience there.
I don’t think it could have been better in Hawaii. The buffet was
both authentic and exquisite. Every dish was the best I’ve had anywhere. My compliments to the chef and to all those who helped in the preparation.
And, the bussers and servers did a great job. They were friendly and happy, and obviously loved what they do. That certainly speaks well for The Palms.
Then, there was the musician and the bar tender. They were both delightful. The music was authentic and the pina colada’s were perfect. The bartender looked and acted like he had just flown in from Hawaii!
And, last, but certainly not least—Robbie, Vicki, Dawn, and the rest of the staff who planned and executed this lovely event, Hawthorne Living is, indeed, fortunate to have all of you!
We recently moved my mother into The Palms Gracious Living to improve her opportunity for interaction, more independence, and to not have to take care of a larger home. The activity calendar surpasses any other Community we looked into, the staff is warm and attentive to both my mother and our family, and the process of obtaining a residence was smooth and transparent. It is a very welcoming environment and engaging to new residents. The staff is readily available at any time to answer questions, help with the move-in process, and help with daily needs for your loved one. The community as a whole is clean and well-maintained, and the residents who live there are friendly and welcoming.
I posted a few pictures of my mother’s one bedroom apartment. She has a large one bedroom of 560 square ft.We did some DIY in her apartment to give it an updated look – covering the wood cabinets with white peel and stick paper and added some battery operated lights. We also built an additional cabinet to create more storage. The size of the one bedroom is perfect for my mom, and she is really thriving after her first month there. She is actively engaged in the activities and she is seeing some improvement with her memory since moving in.
This is true independent living. Everything you need and want to be involved in on this retirement journey is here. Mrs Keller is awesome. Mr & Mrs Morris are fantastic facility manager ni one is more caring and attentive to this community. You are bless to have each if them on staff 😊 Thanks.
