Brookdale Palma Sola

The day my Mom and her dog moved in to Palma Sola was wonderful. For a host of reasons, Mom’s situation is complex and even while they are managing stringent COVID precautions, the welcome in was warm and supportive. When we pulled in, 2 men were doing leaf blowing in the parking lot, but when they saw my mom get out of the car, they stopped and waited until she and her dog walked around and got comfortable enough to go inside. From those gentlemen to the Wellness/Nursing Director, the Sales Director and everyone else along the way, we couldn’t be more grateful.

I can't say enough good things about Palma Sola! Diane, the ED, is an absolute treasure and genuinely cares about the residents and staff and it definitely shows. She and Cathy in the business office take the time to listen and answer any questions or concerns thoroughly. The care staff are awesome and treat the residents like family and you can feel that in the atmosphere. It's a beautiful community!

Diane is super rude anytime you go to her about anything she is super dismissive. She does not care about her residents and they pay the staff next to nothing. Diane doesn’t have a heart and that type of person should not be working this kind of job. Someone from corporate should interview the people she works with. Super super nasty women.

My family and I looked at more than a dozen places in our quest to find a place for both my mother and father (90 and 92). After days of searching and being fearful that we would never find a place where would feel at ease uprooting them, we came across Emeritus at Bradenton. Diane, the director is a gem. She was the first person we met that actually cared about our situation. She explained everything from services, how the place will be paid, activities available, etc. etc. It was as if all the other places we visited were mediocre after meeting Diane. It is also key to realize that not all Emeritus facilities are created equal. This one is far and away the best I came across. The clincher was meeting the other staff members. All of them... the nurses, the marketing staff, maintenance, you name it... all of them are so caring. They even helped me convince my parents that this was for the best, as we went through that period of "We're not going!!!!". A fun week for sure... and one I'm not sure I could have gotten through if not for the staff's support. After my parents were there for a week, my father said, "They are all so damn nice here". My mother is eating again and Emeritus staff is making sure she takes her meds. The best thing I can say is that I'm 1000 miles away and have peace of mind that they are being well cared for and getting the help and support they need. John K
