Our experience

Happy residents - happy staff. When I 1st called A Home for Mom, our plan waa to explore options for the future. With a few key filters applied The Cottages at Palm Springs seemed to answer all of our needs (location, pet friendly & budget). We managed to get an appointment the same day. My husband felt at home right away and knowing that we weren't committed long term, we were signing papers and started moving in the next day!

Well recommended

The staff was wonderful. Very friendly and caring with the residents. The facility was very well maintained both inside and outside. Food, for the most part, was pretty good. Activities were fun. The room was a good size for mom. Overall it was a good experience. Mom just really wanted to be back in her own home now that my brother was retired and would be home more often to help her manage daily tasks.

Review for Cottages at Palm Springs

I was very disappointed with the level of care and staffing. There often did not seem to be enough staff available, and residents could wait a long time after pressing for assistance. At times, there was no staff visible in the building for extended periods. Communication and consistency in care were also concerning. Important information about my father's condition and fall risk did not always seem to be known by staff members. Medication administration was inconsistent, and there appeared to be confusion about h

Great place for the price

This is very well kept community in the heart of Palm Springs. The staff is always very friendly and whoever runs the activities, deserves an A+! She always has tons on the calendar and seems to personalize each activity or event as much as possible. My Mom really was hesitant about moving in, but now she gets excited about hanging out with the other residents, especially during the Happy Hour's and it's very comforting to know that she's happy and enjoying herself!

A Low 2

No reports will be forthcoming. If you visit, you may not be able to get into cottage for 10 or 20 minutes and you may have to search other cottages for an official who can admit you. Front desk is not manned 24 hours and night people don't always pick up phone. There is odor and theft. The schedule of activities on wall is mostly for show. All of this will be less relevant outside of memory care, of course, and with patients who can respond to their own problems.
