I took my father with me to Palmcrest Grand Residence, and he really didn't like it. He said it reminded him of the skilled nursing facility that he stayed in. I couldn't see him living there and being happy either because it's a small studio. He has a one-bedroom where he is now, and he's got enough space to move around, so I didn't think Palmcrest was a good fit. They had activities there. They're not offering the communal eating at this time due to COVID. From what I overheard from another conversation that he was having with a resident, you can schedule to come down to the dining room to eat, but there are social distancing rules in place. However, if you choose to have your food delivered to you, you can. They do not contract outside with other caregivers. They have a built-in caregiver system.

Wow!! That's all I can say. We went to visit my aunt who has been living there for 4 months and her room was so nice I wish I lived here! There are also tons of social events everyday and the food was really good too.

When my dad first started showing signs of demenetia I was worried about finding affordable assisted living center in the area. Even though it's a bit out of the way from me, Palmcrest was by far the standout. The staff were all helpful and the residents looked happy and well taken care of. Josephine in particular was super nice and showed us around the whole facility. They hold plenty of social events and even have a movie screening room! Overall it's great for families who are struggling with taking care of their parents and there are plenty of opportunities for me and my kids to come visit.

Palmcrest Grand Retirement was very big. There were people in the lobby that were sleeping. Sometimes it smelled a little bit funky. There was a darkness to it that I didn't like. It was also more expensive. I didn’t like the person who helped me because I had to wait for her for half an hour.

I visited the facility to look for a place for my sick mother and the facility looks beautiful. They recently remodeled. The pictures don't do it justice.

I really enjoyed our tour, we were pleasently surprised at the affordable cost and even more pleased with the new upgrades to the furniture and rooms. The staff all said hello as we toured the facility which made us feel very welcome. The place has a lot of common space both indoor and out. We are happy our mother will be staying there.

Palmcrest Grand Retirement was OK. It was a little bit cheaper and they offered more for the price compared to the other place I visited. The rooms were OK, but the doors to the restroom and the shower area were regular size. If you have somebody in a wheelchair, it's not going to work. There was also no way to go to the patio area for the wheelchairs because of the rails on the door.

I didn't like Palmcrest Grand Retirement at all. Some of the people were outside on the street, which was kind of weird. Inside, it was like a nursing home to me. The rooms that they showed me were in really bad condition. The place didn't seem very clean.

My parents are having a little bit of problems with what they need on a daily at Palmcrest. And on a scale of 1-10, I would rate their services as a 4 to 5, 10 being great and 1 being bad. My parents are happy with the way they are being treated and things that are going there. I am not happy with that. It was a pretty nice facility, it's clean, and the people were very attentive the first time I was there, but within the last few months they have changed management. Another company took over, and for some reason some of the staff members are not performing the job they are supposed to be doing. I would not recommend them unless the relatives lived nearby to visit the people that are going to be staying there at least once or twice a week so they can see firsthand how well the residents are being treated. I would not recommend it for people like myself being away. I can only hear when I talk to my parents on my phone complaining about their lack of services and they are not getting what they are paying for.

I’ve been in Palmcrest Grand a little over 4 years now. It’s an old building, and it’s big, spacious, and fairly comfortable, but it needs some serious repairs, like plumbing and electrical stuff. I have a room with a bedroom and bathroom, not very big, with closed in closets. It’s OK. The staff is pretty nice. The housekeeper comes by once a day and cleans the room, and it works out pretty well. The food is terrible, and I don’t know if it is due to budget problems or lack of capable people or both. They have a pretty large dining room downstairs that houses 100 people. It’s more utilitarian, with a hard floor and nice fixtures, but it’s OK. They have a pretty good activities director. They play different games on a daily basis, like Bingo and blackjack. We have a tai chi class once or twice a week. They have movies once in a while, maybe a couple of afternoons a week.

It's really nice at Palm Crest. They give good service. The place is clean and they wash the linens once a week or as needed. The food is all right but it's bland. They have to have it that way because not everybody can have salt. You can also order food that you like. The staff is all right but we had to talk to the manager or the activities director because some patients scream and the like. However, they seemed not to get your message across. I would still recommend this facility though.

At first I was nervous about going to an assisted living facility because I had the mental image of an "old folks home" from a movie. But I was happily surprised to find out that either a lot has changed or Palmcrest is just an exception to the rule. The facility was clean and well maintained, even though it did remind me of a hotel. All of the lamps and sofas seemed to be bought en masse. George was a widower an lived in a small "studio." It was more or less just a room with an attached bathroom but he had personalized it with his own things, namely a big old record player and stacks of jazz records.He said he would rather live on his own but that every once in awhile he has trouble getting up out of bed so it is nice that he has the staff there to help him when he needs it. I didn't really get a chance to talk with any of the staff but they all seemed friendly and always greeted George by name when they saw him. All and all I think Palmcrest is a nice facility that seems to respect their residences.
