I have been at Palmer Hills Retirement for four years. I enjoy doing the activities daily. The staff is amazing and I have made many new friendships. I have a beautiful two bedroom and two bath apartment. Palmer was the first community I looked at and knew right away this was home.

Palmer Hills is a wonderful place to live. We have the best management team in town. I love all the activities we do, and all the musical entertainment. Moving to Palmer Hills was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

It is not an assisted living facility. They need to improve on the cleaning. I would still recommend them.

The facility is older but nice. The staff was very professional and always helpful when needed. The food served was good. I do think that they could have offered a few more activities. Apartment sizes and layouts are adequate for the needs. We would highly recommend Palmer Hills to others.

I am disappointed that mom moved in during a transition time as they are no longer owned by holiday but a corporation called Atria. The local people can't seem to get anything done without asking corporate. The saleslady made more promises than they deliver for example: my mom never obtained storage for Christmas stuff or for her wheelchair or bedside commode. The saleslady made it seem like it wouldn't be a problem. We looked into the storage area and it looked like they emptied out some apartments and used it for a dumping area. I suggested that the area be cleared and install the individual lockers that look like a dog kennel per apartment unit. Each could have it's own padlock. That's been 6-7 months ago. So I've had to use my place to store. If she needs the commode or the wheelchair I take the responsibility. .. we weren't told they would increase the rent after the 1st year nor is it presented in the initial contract. Imagine the surprise auto withdrawal. Totally unexpected. ..
I'm having a wonderful experience here. The staff are great. I'm very comfortable here. I would recommend to anyone.

Palmer Hills is short staffed and going through management changes right now so it has been a rocky start. What they advertise and what is followed through is a problem which is caused by the shift in management. Since there is a lack of staff the house keeping is not able to keep up with the cleanliness of the community. The activities get old especially bingo. The meals run on a cycle you either get chicken, pork, beef and sometimes hamburgers. With inflation and not having the availability to get the ingredients and supplies needed of new shipments caused issues and turns into a snowball effect. However the management that is new have been good so far, and the staff are doing the best they can.

I would tell everyone to consider looking into Palmer Hills. They've done a great job for my loved one and been very helpful. His apartment always looks clean. He has a 1-bedroom apartment, which has a nice sized living room and a kitchenette which is perfectly sized, plenty of closet space, a nice big bathroom, a big bedroom, all of which has been plenty big for him. It was an adjustment downsizing from a house, but the apartments are very nice. I like the staff - I've even been tempted to work there myself! He loves the food, and that's coming from a picky eater. It's been a good experience.

We chose Palmer Hills because of the value for the money, it was half of some others that we looked into. The apartment sizes here are great for what she needs. I do not think they have the services that my mom is needing, I think she is needing some more care. It is an older facility that is not super updated, but we have been happy with it. I would recommend them for more independent individuals.

The community is kept very clean, and the staff members are very nice. However, due to the covid restrictions there are minimal activities, they pretty much only have bingo. The location is great, it is near a therapy and exercise centers, and it is very close to Goodwill, and a high school football field.

May 11, 2021Hello, thank you for your review. We understand that due to protocols put into place to ensure the safety of our residents, that the activities within the community were more limited than usual. We look forward to continuing to safely introduce more activities and outings for residents while also following local and state guidelines.
We thought the place was really nice and very hospitable. During the pandemic the community was very clean and whenever we were able to visit a lot of people were spraying things down and keeping it sanitary. The staff members were all very friendly, and our loved one moved in on July 4th, and they had a ribbed dinner and he that it was fantastic. It is on the lower end but great amenities for the cost. It was the economical choice, and full of high class amenities you would find at larger and more expensive community.

My Grandmother was here for a short while and things did not go well. She had to go to the restroom and they helped her get to the bathroom – that was at 7pm. Once she was settled, they left and she was stuck there for 17 hours. She said she called for help several times and no one came by until 1 pm the next day because she hadn’t shown up at the dining area. The day after all of this happened, after she had been found and was able to rest, the general manager called an ambulance to check on her. The facility never notified me, I found out from a nurse that called me from the hospital that she was there and then found out that the general manager never took the time to figure out what hospital she was being taken to. As far as the actual facility itself is concerned, I know that they try to make the rooms look like apartments but I think the facility is geared more towards the independent living. She had to go to a rehab facility for a bit and was very hesitant about coming back here. I’ve been dealing with the manager the most and I’ll give her all the credit in the world for being able to step up and help out with my Grandmother because I’m in California and I’m not able to be there all the time. There have been times where the ball has been dropped, but [Removed], the manager, has really been trying to help. She’s really been going above and beyond. There are obviously changes that need to be done, and they were able to make a few changes to her room to try and prevent anything else from happening, but I just don’t know if it’s set up for the type of the care that she needs.
