A Great place for Dad
This place has the friendliest staff , is clean, updated atmosphere,. The assisted living staff is very aware of how the residents are doing and communicates with family keeping us updated. [name removed] welcomes family to participate in events and have a life loop app so that you can see what the schedule of the week is and if your lioved one is attending any of the events. My dad lived in independent living for 6 years when the facility was new. Now he is in assisted living and we were pleased to see some of the same staff we knew from before! They do not have a lot of turnover like some facilities. Would definitely recommend this place .

Recommend for retirement living
I feel safe and secure here because the staff is always ready help. As far as activities, some of us would like to learn some of the games they are playing but they have groups that play together and seem unwilling to teach. As for the food, they should be more aware of folks our age who are low salt and low sugar but please do not do away with moderate seasonings, especially in ethnic foods.

Not recommended for memory care/dementia.
If your loved one has no dementia, has no dementia related behavior issues, and isn't to "loud" it's a great place. However, they cannot handle seniors with dementia -- despite advertising that they can. They waited until we were out of town to dump our parent at the ER and then evicted him -- all contrary to our mutually agreed health plan. Failed to return multiple calls. We had to hear from the hospital that that's what they did. The hospital is making a formal complaint against them to the NM Dept of Health about the "Elder Dumping" -- they (hospital) said this is not the first time that they've done this.

Would Definitely Recommend
I would tell other families looking into Palmilla Senior Living that it is new and very clean. The food is good, and the staff are courteous and caring. Like everywhere these days, they do seem to be slightly understaffed. Especially in serving their Assisted Living sector. I would definitely recommend Palmilla.

I love this place and think they are amazing. I have nothing negative to say about them. The staff is incredibly considerate, thoughtful, welcoming, and super friendly. I love the executive director, also! Housekeeping is weekly and done well. My brother's room is always very clean. He's happy here. I would absolutely recommend them to friends and family!

Excellent Care During Difficult Time
Excellent staff committed to resident comfort, cleanliness and pain management. Throughout the organization - from the reception staff, marketing/sales personnel, dining room team, housekeeping, caregivers and med techs - all gave strict adherence to resident privacy during an extremely difficult time involving hospice care. Our family could not have asked for better care and kindness.

Frequently Asked Questions
about Palmilla Senior Living

Palmilla Senior Living offers Studio and 1 Bedroom. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored Palmilla Senior Living 8.9 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
