Cottages at Palm Springs is part of the Pacifica Senior Living group, which runs several senior communities. The campus has Spanish-style buildings and stands out for its wide, green spaces, mountain views, and palm trees. Residents live in single rooms inside cottages, with each cottage holding 10-12 people, and there are four cottages for assisted living and two for memory care, named after trees like Ashford, Cedar, Elm, and Fir, as well as a community center cottage for gatherings. The grounds have gazebos, walking paths, private gardens, and patio and grass areas that feel like a small park, with plenty of room for walking and enjoying the outdoors. The campus is gated, helping people feel safe.
The community provides both assisted living and memory care, with services for those with mild cognitive issues or dementia, as well as short-term respite care. Nurses work here part-time, helping with medication, bathing, dressing, and transportation to doctor appointments or outings five days a week. Each resident gets a personalized care plan to fit their own health and daily needs and the staff support independence while being ready to help as needed. They have medication management, reminders, and help with daily tasks, plus in-house occupational and physical therapy, and stress management. Weekly housekeeping, laundry, and linen services are included. Bathrooms are accessible with grab bars and walk-in showers, and rooms have stylish décor, WiFi, natural light, and storage.
People who live here can use the library, salon, fitness room, and spa, as well as enjoy restaurant-style dining, a bistro, communal dining areas, and room service, with guest meals for family and friends. There are three meals daily, with diet options like diabetic, low salt, and vegetarian. Residents can join daily exercise classes, music programs, games, arts and crafts, gardening, clubs, card games, ice cream socials, and happy hours. There are also religious services, shopping trips, and general transportation. Pets are allowed, though not cats or small dogs.
The staff aim to create a warm, home-like environment and support everyone's unique needs. The buildings have cozy fireplaces, common areas with inviting seating, and tasteful décor. Well-maintained grounds and a mountain backdrop offer peaceful outdoor experiences. Safety features include a 24-hour call system. The community encourages social bonds and offers planned activities that help people feel connected and at home. Veterans' aid is available for those who qualify. They want to serve as an extension of each resident's family, helping everyone feel cared for, comfortable, and part of a close-knit group, and the facility stays open 24/7.
