Atria Palm Desert

Gayle Shanks

After visiting a number of "retirement communities" we (mom too!) chose Atria Palm Desert as mom's next home. The entire staff from Brad & Andi on the business side, to all the health aides, housekeepers & dining staff, have made mom's transition an easy one. Atria is quickly becoming part of our family. A+: facilities, food, care.

We moved my mom to Atria Palm Desert in early 2021. The staff has always been courteous, knowledgeable, professional and thoughtful. Cheree, the executive director, returned my calls, on her own free time, to discuss my initial questions and concerns. She put any concerns I had to rest. The entire staff does a wonderful job and there are a few that I have had direct experiences with that really set the bar high for exemplary service. They are: Debbie at the front desk. She always is thoughtful and greets us with a smile. Debbie is a great initial introduction to Atria Palm Desert. Daniel, in activities, always has high positive energy and works hard creating and engaging the residents in daily activities. Mike, in maintenance, is always willing and able to fix things. He added a patio fence, at our request. Memo, the driver, even got a new battery for my mom’s watch. Atria Palm Desert is clean, friendly and engaging. The staff make Atria a wonderful place for our mom.

A dear friend lived at Atria Palm Desert until her passing. She had a lovely apartment with a wonderful view of hummingbirds and other native wildlife. The staff were caring, prompt and compassionate. The Activity Director, Daniel, is always getting residents involved in exercise, games and just plain fun! Debbie, the receptionist is a marvel! Answering phones that constantly ring, scheduling rides to medical appointments, chatting with lonely residents, arranging for meals to be delivered to those not up to the dining room that day. The Executive Director, Cheree is not one to stay in her office! She is out in the halls listening to residents, answering emails on all sorts of subjects from family members, checking on her flock at all times. The Staff here obviously like each other, respect each other and genuinely get along. Nobody wishes to move into Assisted Living, but if you have to make the move, Atria Palm Desert is a great place to live!

It has been an excruciatingly difficult and stressful time for residents, family members and staff since COVID. I genuinely believe all staff have done their very best to keep residents safe and as content as possible. It was wonderful to finally be able to visit my mother inside the facility and inside her apartment. The entire facility looked beautiful, bright, airy and immaculate! The common areas and the inside of my mother’s apartment were spotless and very inviting. All staff was all smiles and my mother enjoyed taking me around to greet staff. Front desk, kitchen and dining staff were very friendly and welcoming as we said hello. Cheree, Jennifer, Lisa, Daniel, your chauffeur ( I don’t recall his name) and Michael have been wonderful and have put much energy into accommodating the residents. Present and past administrators, including Denise have worked so hard during such a terribly stressful time. I’m very grateful for everyone who has touched my mother’s life to make it better. I look forward to more good things happening for my mother and for my visits there. Thank you everyone!
