Love this facility! It is the perfect fit for my grandmother. Angela, Angel and staff are amazing! They go above and beyond for residents and families. Anytime we need to communicate concerns/needs for Grandma they are always available. I am at ease knowing she is receiving quality care around the clock.<br>The environment is very calm, cozy and clean. They do activities daily including music, dancing, and singing. Staff from Housekeeping to the in house Chef provide great services.<br>I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for a small community for your loved one.

I would not send my pet rock here! Where do I start?! Upon entry there was poop handprint on the wall. It stinks inside and I will say after a few weeks of regular scheduled visits it started to smell better. They don't have proper PPE for standard precautions. The hand sanitizer devices on the walls were ALL broken and there were no hand sanitizer bottles to be found. They use kitchen gloves instead of regular exam gloves. They lacked hygiene wipes for depend changes. I watched as they used another diaper as a baby wipe. The med tech Madison is always on her phone. She speaks to the residents so rude. I understand they have memory issues and won't likely remember you called them "crazy" but its not right or nice. The CNA Joanna does not speak english so staff communicates with her via google translate. When they are not eating they are all shoved into the small TV room. They bedroom doors are locked and they have to stay there until it is time to eat. The CNA Joanna and the kitchen lady probably cared the most but it still was not enough to "care" to consider this place for my worst enemy. When a resident tells you "It was the best day ever because someone helped me eat."....well that should tell you everything! I dreaded every visit to this place for 12 weeks. ZERO STARS!

Facility is very dirty, Palma Ceia all beds are almost on the floors. Residents sleep on box spring and mattress. There are roaches there with rats. The elevator is broken all bed linen is piled in a closet in the hallway with stains and smells like pee. I feel so sorry for the residents there. The executive director Evan does not care at all. There's no briefs or chucks for the residents they have permanent piss stains on mattress and linen. Overall Angels at Palma Ceia I would not put my dogs in there, they deserve better treatment and living

My mom was a resident at Angels for 2 years at the memory care on Bay to Bay. It is a smaller community than others we had looked at but I have to say that made a big difference in her care. My mom’s memory was not very good and the smaller environment was what she needed. She was able to still be independent while she could be and we knew she was safe because the door was code protected. I have to say the people living there make each other feel as if they have been friends for years and that is a great feeling. My mom had the best last 2 years of her life while living there before she passed and we could not be anymore grateful for the people living there and the people who work there. They still reach out to check on my family even after my mom passed away.
