74 Residential Care Homes near Palm Desert, CA. Page 3

Last Updated: 2/21/25

Residential care homes in Palm Desert may appeal to seniors who value smaller, more close-knit communities and many opportunities for socialization. Palm Desert care homes typically take in fewer residents, meaning older adults know each resident in the home and develop strong friendships.

Older-adult care homes vary more than other options for senior living in Palm Desert, so families can choose from a wide range of prices, amenities, and services. A Place for Mom will work with you to understand the cost of care homes. From there, we’ll help you find the right fit, whether you’re staying on a budget or searching for luxury retirement communities.

We are also serving Residential Care Home facilities in surrounding neighborhoods like South Palm Desert and Palma Village Groves.
You may also consider nearby communities such as Indio, Cathedral City or Indian Wells.

Recent reviews of Residential Care Home in Palm Desert, CA
Blessed Jera Home Care in Cathedral City, CA
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.

Absolute Desert Care in Rancho Mirage, CA
4.8

When I toured Absolute Desert Care, I was very impressed with how beautiful the home was and how large the bedrooms were; the staff was very friendly and caring. My 95 year old aunt had been in a board and care in Fresno for a year and when I moved to Palm Springs, I looked for a board and care close to where I was living. Within a day, and without any hesitation, I made the decision to move my aunt down to Absolute Desert Care. My aunt is happy there, the staff is caring, kind and patient, the food is good and everything seems to be as I would want it to be. My aunt is not involved with any activities so I can't rate the activities.

Learn More About Care Homes in Palm Desert, CA

In Southern California’s majestic Coachella Valley, Palm Desert remains a popular getaway for nearby city dwellers or travelers from afar looking to escape frigid winters. Year-round low humidity, abundant sunshine, upscale shopping, and a variety of golf courses have all led to a slowly increasing population, as visitors end up finding plenty of reasons to stay for good.

In Palm Desert, residential care homes — sometimes called care homes, board and care homes, group homes, or personal care homes — are often houses in residential neighborhoods that are adapted, equipped, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually 10 or less. Similar to assisted living but in a smaller, more residential setting, these homes provide supervision, organized events, and assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). This means care homes can help with everyday routines but typically do not provide 24-hour skilled nursing assistance.

Cost of Care Homes in Palm Desert, CA

The median monthly cost for a room in a care home is about $3,000 in the Riverside area and $3,500 in the state of California. However, the cost of living in a care home depends largely on location. Since the homes are private residences, costs are tied to real estate value and therefore may vary greatly.
