Our major problem is distance from Desert Hot Springs. Another concern I had was entry space to the rooms.

Unappealing. In need of refurbishing. Only one area to gather and entertain residents and that even has offices in it. Nothing going on outside. They need landscaping. Paint. New furniture. No escape from the urine smelling dining area right outside your very small and not very interesting room. As expensive (or more -as your care needs increases) as several, much nicer assisted living homes in the area. No go.

Our experience

Happy residents - happy staff. When I 1st called A Home for Mom, our plan waa to explore options for the future. With a few key filters applied The Cottages at Palm Springs seemed to answer all of our needs (location, pet friendly & budget). We managed to get an appointment the same day. My husband felt at home right away and knowing that we weren't committed long term, we were signing papers and started moving in the next day!

Well recommended

The staff was wonderful. Very friendly and caring with the residents. The facility was very well maintained both inside and outside. Food, for the most part, was pretty good. Activities were fun. The room was a good size for mom. Overall it was a good experience. Mom just really wanted to be back in her own home now that my brother was retired and would be home more often to help her manage daily tasks.

Review for Cottages at Palm Springs

I was very disappointed with the level of care and staffing. There often did not seem to be enough staff available, and residents could wait a long time after pressing for assistance. At times, there was no staff visible in the building for extended periods. Communication and consistency in care were also concerning. Important information about my father's condition and fall risk did not always seem to be known by staff members. Medication administration was inconsistent, and there appeared to be confusion about h…
