The Palms

We were looking for a place where we could live comfortably and enjoyably. We have visited a number of establishments in Southern California which offered an attractive life style and a degree of freedom. Our five bedroom house was just getting to hard to maintain, and I have been banned from ladders of any kind because of injuries to my legs. Long story but the result is that I’m «grounded» big time. The Palms has very attractive apartments, a very nice staff — many who have been there for 20+ years, good food, and lots of activities. Pricing is fair — you get what you pay for these days. Definitely worth a visit. If you need extended care they have caregivers who can be contacted for services. Resident Managers are a real plus.

My parents made the difficult decision to give up their home and move into a retirement community. They looked at several locations but The Palms felt like home to them. They have settled in quite nicely. Their apartment-​like rooms, though small, are spacious enough for the two of them. The staff is helpful, respectful, and kind. We are a large family and special occasions were a concern for us. The facility has been able to accommodate our large family gatherings and there are overnight rooms and/​or roll away beds available for those of us traveling.
My parents seem happy, healthy, and engaged. We are grateful that we looked at The Palms. We have peace of mind knowing our parents are being looked after while keeping their independence. My mother stated that living at The Palms is like living on a cruise ship without the ocean. What better endorsement could we have!

Had the privilege of recently visiting The Palms in La Mirada. We found everything welcoming, clean and accommodating. Everyone from the employees to the residents seem very happy and upbeat. The food is plentiful and tasty. It offers good nutrition and a wide variety of choices. Well prepared. Daily activities are well attended by the residents. The employees interact with them and know them all by name. Safety is of great concern there as well. Great signage and sufficiently large for those of us who need larger lettering. I would certainly be happy to retire there or move my parent to this facility without hesitation.

This is my first visit to a senior living facility, we are looking a place for our mom and this place is very nice. 5 star resort, yes I said resort it looks like a nice time share resort you have in Palm Springs. I recommend anyone who is looking to visit here

I have visited the palms quite a few times. This place has a great environment. Once you walk in you are greeted by nice receptionist and a nice lounging area with fish tanks around. The dining area is pretty good size as well. I would say there are about 100 rooms? Three stories high. Seems like they are little apartments inside. The ones I’ve seen has a small kitchen area, a living room, and the master bed room with a bathroom. Some even have balconies I believe.
The grounds here are very spacious. There are plenty of lounging areas outside in the courtyard areas. There is a salon where residence can get their hair done. I also believe its for men and women.
It is a pretty active community. There are daily activities: hallway bowling, hallway golf, bean bag baseball, and aerobic exercise classes. There maybe more, but those are the ones I know about. Also they take fun little day trips to various places in Southern California. I know they’ve gone to Newport beach and palo casino to name couple of the places.
This place has top notch staff and they all are very helpful and nice. The bus driver Adam treats everyone with great as well as jokes around with them all.
If your looking for a great place for your loved one look no further. I think the palms is a great community in la Mirada. It is down the street from la Mirada park, city hall, and biola university. This is a place where most everyone knows each other by name. And the general manager here will do anything possible to make anyone’s stay here more enjoyable. Also they decorate for holidays and do random fun nights for the residence.
Only reason why I gave this place 4 stars not 5 is because the visitor parking is pretty limited inside the gate of the palms. But there is plenty of street parking surrounding this establishment. And residents may have vehicles. They have their own residence parking placards I believe. I know they have marked spaces for residence vehicles.
