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
I feel really good about the service of Desert Sky's Board and Care, inc. for facility Desert Sky's Board and Care. They have great service, the administrator Nenita Koch and staff are taking such great care of my grandmother. My grandmother is non-ambulatory from a stroke and after her rehab she came and stayed with me for 4 months where i took care of her. I no longer could for I had to work and my sister and found Desert Sky's Board and Care and Admitted her May of 2008 she has been very happy there. I would absolutely, recommend this facility to anyone.
I am impressed by the different activities held by the community. They staff is super friendly and always says hello to everyone when passing and they know everyone by name.
