Recent reviews of Assisted Living in Palm Desert, CA
Blessed Jera Home Care in Cathedral City, CA
5.0 / 5.0

They were just superb! Mom was on hospice, and they were most accommodating. They went out and bought new curtains for her room, and did a lot of similar things to make it a pleasant experience. They were up all night with mom before she passed. They really were just over the top in how kind and caring they were. Very warm and caring. Great experience and would certainly recommend Blessed Jera Home Care.

Atria Palm Desert
4.0 / 5.0

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!
