Parents are happy
I would give all catagories a 4. Since I cannot compare to any other place. No complaints from my Mother and Father. They are happy. Their staff is wonderful. I think just the normal questions. I think the apartment sizes in assisted living are good. And you also get a garage which is nice.

My father moved into Ponte Palmero about two and a half months ago. He just had his license taken away and moved from living independently to Assisted Living. We did not know what to expect at his new home. My father loves the fact that he doesn't have to enter his apartment from a hallway, but through a front door and porch area. He is looking forward to getting a bench and growing some flowers out in front of his entryway. All the greenery is just beautiful. He enjoys eating their food and gets a kick out of the fact that they give him whatever he asks for. The staff is wonderful. They're very patient and kind. He has an attached garage with bookshelves. He loves being able to have his own Library and sitting area where he can spend his day reading his favorite books. He looks forward to being able to take the bus out to the local grocery store and to go on outings. Ponte Palmero is obviously and absolutely the best choice for your loved ones.

The staff is really friendly. The facility is very neat and tidy. They have a lot of great activities for all levels. My mom is very content there. It's a huge relief for me to know that she's safe and being well taken care of. They're very good about calling me if there's anything they notice out of the ordinary with her, so I always know what's going on with her. They're also very good about Covid protocols - taking temperatures, mask wearing, and screening visitors. It's a gated community and very safe. Its quite nice.

Our experience has been very positive one. The staff have been understanding of my loved one adjusting to the community, and have been willing to work with the family. I would recommend you check the community out to see if this would be a good fit for your loved one.

We went back to visit Ponte Palmero several times. They were at the top of our list as we were making our decision. We found the staff to be very informative and extremely helpful. But our loved one didn’t need the full kitchen. And the gardens weren't as open and pretty as what she wanted.

I was really pleased when I realized I was going to be able to get one of the cottages here. It is a two bedroom two bathroom with a lot of space - it is called a duet. Based on my experience so far I would recommend to others.

Ponte Palmero had a wide range of activities to offer. They had pool exercises, and different calisthenic programs. They also offered a lot of activities for those who were not as active as the other residents. It was a very good place for my mother. From the first lady that we spoke with who indoctrinated us with what was going on within the facility, to the people who were at the front desk when you first entered, and all the way to the nursing staff, we were very much impressed. We were especially impressed with the residents in the community. You could tell they were happy with where they were. Prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, they had several shuttles that would take the residents to different areas and different shopping places. It was a great place and our loved one was happy being there. One thing they really did do a good job at was keeping the residents safe. They were very careful and did not have an outbreak. They did regular checkup on their staff, and kept everything very minimal.

I am concerned during this covid 19 lock down that my parents are not getting enough food. My dad is losing weight and he's really thin. We cannot check on them and they cannot order anything in. My parents report the staff are doing the best they can, compliment them and appreciate the service during this difficult time for everyone.

My mother lives at this facility and the food is horrible. She calls it "the poison center". The dinners are especially bad. Meat is compressed, breaded and presented as chicken Parmesan. All meats are greasy, vegetables are not fresh, etc. The maintenance of the place is kept up to bring in more people but their basic nutritional care is being ignored. I suppose they feel that their members are dying anyway so why give them healthy food at the end of their lives? We are currently looking for a more suitable place for my mother. We should not have to shop and cook for her to get quality food when she is paying for that service as part of the monthly fee. If you care about the nutrition and happiness of your loved ones, do not bring them here. My mother has written numerous letters and made suggestions all to no avail.

Beautiful community with many advantages, spacious, lovely independent living cottages with 2 car garages. A good variety of items on the menu and food was tasty. Very convenient to shopping. Residents looked happy and the atmosphere was pleasant. [Name removed] gave us the tour and she was wonderful, very personable and attentive.

We were sadly disappointed with the intake process--very unprofessional and included only a verbal interview with ONE family member. No standardized evaluation was every done by anyone at the facility, nor did a medical professional at the facility lay eyes on the resident. It was all questionnaire based. Hence, the questionnaire offered options about ambulation--does resident use a walker (no), does resident use a wheelchair (no). We were not able to share that she'd had side by side support for walking. So she had a fall within the first week. During one visit, our mom could not be located for a few minutes, only to find that she'd been left in her room seated in her wheelchair without the wheels locked. While the activities were engaging and very energetic, they seemed highly inappropriate for the advanced dementia patients--way too overstimulating and confusing.

We fell in love with everything about Ponte Palmero when we toured. We are still working out a few kinks after move-in, but the community has been excellent overall, and we are pleased so far. The staff are great, and they seem to really care about the residents. I will say that they seem to need more staff in the dining room, as it often takes a very long time to get served at mealtimes. Otherwise, the food is very good, and the chef seems really interested in what residents and families have to say. They seem to have plenty of activities going on, and I like that the community is very secure. My loved one is able to walk around by himself, but at the same time, the community is gated, so there is no way he can leave. I feel at peace knowing he is safe and secure and that he is receiving the care he needs.

I was looking for a full service assisted living place for my mom and was referred to Ponte Palmer by a geriatric nurse practitioner. Overall its been good for her. The staff is generally helpful and they have lots of activities for folks including regular outings. Her apartment is always clean and tidy, the menu has a lot of variety and she has made new friends. All in all its pretty good.

I saw patients in this place and was told many negative things by the residents. One resident said that housekeeping was never there'd, and I believe her once I saw the filthy toilet that wasn't cleaned week after week although she was charged for it. The carpeting had severe stains that she was told would be cleaned or replaced. For 8 months that carpeting remained disgusting like the bathroom toilet with nothing cleaned whatsoever. One client needed max assist with bathing and dressing, I found her in the same filthy dress every time I visited, apparently she was sleeping in these clothes as well. I reported this problem stating she needed dressing every morning and evening, the administration agreed but never did anything about it. The whole place was disgusting, dirty and the residents all appeared [Removed]. The residents I saw monthly were all loosing weight complaining about the food, when they did get their meals the food was grossly lacking in nutrition, volume and presentation I wouldn't give it to my dog!

My dad and mom are both living in this community now and I am very pleased with how things are going for them so far. They seem to have no complaints about the food and are slowly starting to get involved with many of the activities they have available throughout the week. I thought the prices are very reasonable and the staff does a great job at keeping the facility clean and well maintained.

I toured this nice community f or care for my father. This was a very upscale community with a lot. The staff was not as friendly and that is not what we were looking for. There is a nice variety of meals. There would have been nice activities. I suggest that other families tour this community to see if it would be a good fit for a family member.
