Key Review Excerpts

My father in law has dementia and they let him out without supervision, to take a walk. 4-1/2 hours later… he ended up in Palisade.

Memory care family member · 2025☆☆☆☆

Staff does not communicate with other staff as shifts change. No instructions conveyed properly at all about specific requests from family members.

Long-term resident's family · 2026☆☆☆☆

All of the ladies working in this facility are unbelievably kind and caring. I can’t think of better people to look after loved ones.
