Key Review Excerpts

“This ALF meets the needs of my elderly mother. Due to physical limitations, this place is a good fit for my mother. Provides activities that she can participate in but not the extras she can’t use. Staff is wonderful and caring. Mgmt communicates well to family members.”

Resident's family · 2024★★★★★

“The day my Mom and her dog moved in to Palma Sola was wonderful. ... even while they were managing stringent COVID precautions, the welcome in was warm and supportive.”

Resident's family · 2021★★★★★

“Beware. They’ll bait and switch you on pricing. My father wasn’t there for more than 2 months when they increased his room and board rate by $400/mo. Communication is terrible, running a senior facility and letting non payment go on for months without a word...”
