    I am writing this review about Atria palm desert. My mother in law had a flood in her home and…read moreneeded to find a new place to call home. Home is what Atria Palm Desert feels like. Kind, compassionate, caring staff make this community amazing. Cheree the director is hands on and will even call when she's not at work. Tara the nurse is great as well. Most employees have been there for many years which tells you it's a great place to be. My mother in law is thriving there making new friends and even gets her hair done there every other week. What a godsend to have people who truly care. Her one bedroom apartment is beautifully appointed and even has a small patio. I would highly recommend Atria Palm Desert for your loved ones

    My mom has been living at Atria Palm Desert since March of 2020 and has had wonderful care…read more It's been nice because she hasn't complained once about any of the employees there. Whoever does their hiring is doing a great job. All of them are especially compassionate and kind people and really love what they're doing. You can tell with most of them, this is their career, it's not just a pay check as I've seen in some similar facilities. A special shout out for Daniel who's in charge of the activities program, and Mike who's head of maintenance. They've been great :) Another thing you see is teamwork among the staff. My Mom has told us many times about how they'll fill in for each other no matter what their particular position is. The food is just okay. As with most facilities like this. They have their good days & dishes, and not so good. My Mom has found the things she likes and they do well so she pretty much sticks to those things. During the Covid lockdown it was a trying time for my mom. The staff worked very hard to keep the residents cared for physically, mentally and also socially through their activities program Engage Life. My mom isn't much of a "joiner" but through this program, she has participated more than usual. The people at the front desk are very pleasant and helpful and have always followed up when needed. Atria Palm Desert is somewhat of a smaller facility compared to some of them. It's very homey and clean. I highly recommend it if you're looking for a place for your loved one.

    So happy with the young men who joyfully receive our donations at the Truck, TY! May the Bless them…read moreand all who work to serve others!

    I want to start by acknowledging that the mission did help me get back on my feet, and I'm grateful…read morefor that. There are good staff members there, and my progress was partly because of them. That said, the organization itself--and the conduct of some staff--deserves serious scrutiny. As a nonprofit that brings in millions in donations, many of the decisions and conditions are not just confusing--they're unacceptable. There's a clear disconnect between available resources and how basic issues are handled. Take the daily "bread run" as a simple example. For nearly a year, residents had to move heavy loads through doors that wouldn't stay open, resorting to propping them with rocks. This created obvious safety risks and unnecessary hassle. The solution--a few inexpensive door stops--was ignored for months. When new doors were finally installed, one of the stops was already broken within days and, based on past patterns, will likely stay that way. It's a small issue, but it reflects a broader culture of neglect. Discipline in the men's dorm is handled in a way that feels lazy and unjust. Instead of addressing individuals responsible for misconduct, the default response is to punish everyone. During my year-long stay, the gym was open for perhaps a month total. It remained closed the rest of the time because of the actions of a few individuals. Collective punishment like this only breeds resentment and discouragement. More concerning is the handling of basic necessities like drinking water. Residents are expected to refill bottles using shower water--water that is extremely hard, comes through lines that are not properly maintained, and often sits at unsafe temperatures. I personally got sick from it, and when I raised concerns, they were dismissed outright. That's not just dismissive--it's negligent. The most serious issue, however, is staff misconduct. I personally witnessed staff taking donated items for their own use, including food and higher-value goods meant for the thrift store. Some of these items later appeared for sale online. The most blatant example was after the Christmas toy drive. While the event itself helped many families, leftover donations were not handled with integrity. One staff member alone took multiple truckloads of toys and bikes home--amounting to thousands of dollars in donated goods. This wasn't subtle, and it certainly wasn't appropriate. Donors would likely think twice if they knew how some of their contributions were being handled. There's also a fundamental issue with how residents are treated. Not everyone experiencing homelessness is struggling with addiction, yet everyone is forced into the same programming, including mandatory recovery meetings. Combined with required "skills training" labor, daily church activities, and the pressure of finding actual employment, it becomes an inefficient and often counterproductive use of time. Finally, the hypocrisy within leadership is hard to ignore. In a Christian-based program, you would expect leaders to model the behavior they require from residents. Instead, I witnessed a program leader regularly skip daily devotionals while still addressing the group afterward. That kind of inconsistency undermines any message they're trying to deliver. This mission has the resources and potential to do real good--but those strengths are being undermined by poor oversight, questionable priorities, and, in some cases, outright misconduct. Until those issues are addressed, the gap between what the organization claims to be and what it actually is will remain hard to ignore.
