Key Review Excerpts

My parents have been at PP for approximately 10 years, moving from Independent living to eventually assisted living. We visit often and are continually amazed how the staff has become their family.

Long-term resident's family · 2025★★★★★

We often tell people we could describe life here as the luxurious feeling of a perpetual cruise that just stays at home. It is the best!

Long-term resident · 2023★★★★★

My mother has dementia and has been living at Ponte Palmero's Memory Care center for about a year. My mother is very happy here; the facility is lovely, and the staff is WONDERFUL!!
