My mother was sent to Palms for rehab after a little illness. At first, this place depressed me, but after spending many days and weeks there, I must say this was a wonderful place. All of the staff, from front desk to nurses to therapists, were friendly and kind. Most of the other patients were equally friendly and I came to know them well. The food is good and bad. There were some meals that were outstanding and others that were bleh. (For $5 a meal you can join your loved one for any meal). The purpose of this place is to increase strength and the ability to function on your own. This they accomplished with my mother. There is also an area of apartments for those who wish to live there. So many activities: musicians performing, ice cream socials, games and puzzles, a library. I was truly sad to "leave" this place when my mother was deemed well enough to go home. These are truly caring folks and they make life for the elderly much more exciting. I can only hope to end up with wonderful folks as this when my time comes. read more
