I give this place five stars. The homes are beautiful and extremely clean, the owners and new manager/director are hands-on, and caregivers are caring and actively engage residents. Fresh, tasty meals daily and I felt comfortable with the care, though staff lack disease-specific training and at times couldn't meet my needs; activities weren't always to my taste and pricing is high. Overall I highly recommend it.
The Splendor of Carmichael at Palm sits in Carmichael, California, and it's a small, home-like assisted living and board and care home, which means it feels more like a house than a big facility, and since the place keeps ten or fewer residents in a private home, people often find it easy to settle in and get to know each other. This property's family ownership shows in the way staff help residents with everyday tasks like bathing, dressing, grooming, meals, and medication, providing 24-hour support and supervision in a safe, pet-free environment. The facility welcomes both long stays and short-term respite care, always keeping staff available round the clock. There are daily housekeeping and laundry services, and the team takes care of medication management, coordinates with doctors, and even offers injections or incontinence care for seniors needing extra help, focusing a lot on person-centered and tailored care.
The grounds have a fenced yard, landscaped gardens, and enough space for walks or time outside, which matters for those who like fresh air or gentle exercise. Residents can enjoy a swimming pool, various social activities, and planned excursions, with plenty of community-sponsored events and daily programs to keep minds and bodies active. Meals come three times a day, and the kitchen handles special diets, from gluten free or vegetarian to diabetic and heart healthy plans, plus there's always snacks on hand and options for tray service or in-room dining if someone's not feeling up to a group meal. Rooms and apartments are fully furnished with cable TV, phone, and Wi-Fi included, and transportation to doctor appointments is arranged as needed, which makes things a lot easier for those who don't drive anymore.
For seniors with memory care needs or dementia, the facility provides a safe and structured environment with supervision designed to limit confusion and prevent wandering, while also supporting independence as much as possible. Staff help with everything from bathing to transfers while making sure residents who are frail or confused remain safe and cared for, and since the community operates as a nonprofit, extra funds go back into the property and programs. The Splendor of Carmichael at Palm is licensed by California and keeps up with inspections, so families can trust it meets state standards. Reviews from families praise the staff's kindness and the quality of activities and meals, and with move-in support offered, anyone can come for a tour and see if the setting fits their needs or those of a loved one.
