Recent reviews of Independent Living in La Quinta, CA
Revel Palm Desert
5.0

I have been a resident of Revel Palm Desert for about 18 months. It is exactly what I want in an independent experience. I have all the services I need. It is truly an independent place. I have great kitchen facility if I wish . It’s something I thought I would use but don’t. I fix breakfast only. Meals are included in my monthly lease. Food is first class. Would rival many restaurants with enough choices to keep one content. Daily specials also. Have recently added vegetarian choices. There are many activities to take part in if you wish. Pickle ball,blackjack,croquet as well as excursions to local spots. One builds a community of friends in a short time. I am gay and my husband and I were concerned about acceptance. We were welcome from day one and met other couples. Many residents have gay family members visiting which helps the community. I happy to recommend this facility
