Place is a dump, smells horrible. The floors are disgusting, there’s sheets on the furniture, residents outside in gowns. Why is there no phones in the rooms? Why was mom mil served expired milk? I was shown one side of the building which was nice but she was put on the dirty side room was small and dirty sheets and blankets had stains this place is a JOKE

I tribally gave Mission Palms a five star rating, shower, since my discharge more than a week ago, I have been waiting for my in- home therapy to begin. This far I have not heard anything from therapy. According to Mission Palms, the referral was sent. I have been calling the office every day and they have yet to return my calls. I am recovering from broken femur surgery and PT is very important. I regret having to revise my rating!

The CNA and therapy staff is extremely nice and always on top of everything. The Social Service Director is more concerned about her personal growth than patient, she doesn't answer emails, and her response after letting her know corporate and VA would be contacted was go right ahead. Do not allow them to move your love one to another room with out you packing up everything. I filled out two grievance forms for a total of $280 missing items. Never got any response. The floors in the rooms are not properly cleaned. The records for visitations are kept on paper. Have requested a history records for my father's visitors for court. Never got any response to emails once again. If you think about taking a veteran to Mission Palms I suggest to go elsewhere. The veterans are not appreciated at Mission Palms. Only see Drs in the hallway at Mission Palms never going room to room.

It was so clean there & Everyone seemed so happy and friendly with each other and with us as patients! Thank you for taking such good care of me and I will always recommend you as my number one choice. ♥️

How our free service works, and how we are paid

Arizona asks us to share this with you in writing before we introduce you to a community.

MyLivingChoice is a free service that helps you find senior living. We are paid by our participating communities: if you move into a community we introduced you to, that community pays us a referral fee. You never pay us anything.

We do not own or manage any community, and none owns us. Our only ties to the communities we list are the referral agreements that pay us and the listing upgrades some buy. A community that pays us is marked Partner or Sponsored on our site, and a community that has bought verification is marked Verified.

The communities we suggest may not be every one in your area, and we can only make introductions to communities that work with us. We suggest communities by the care you need, the area, your timeline and budget, and what families say about them, never by what a community pays us. If a community stops meeting our qualifications, for example its licence lapses or it stops accepting referrals, we stop suggesting it.

To make an introduction we share your name, contact details and the care needs you told us about, and nothing else. You can stop using our service at any time, for any reason and at no cost, and if you do we will let any community we introduced you to know.

Arizona law requires that we provide you with the following disclosure notice.

We are in the business of referring residents to assisted living facilities and assisted living homes. We will be paid by the assisted living facility or assisted living home if you move into one of the referred assisted living facilities or assisted living homes. The fee we receive from the assisted living facility or assisted living home into which you move typically ranges from 50 to 80 percent of your first month's rent and care charges. We do have a current business relationship but we do not have a common ownership or control in, or any other financial, business, management or familial relationship with, any of the assisted living homes and assisted living facilities to which we are referring you.

By providing us with a written or electronic notice, you have the right to terminate our services to you at any time, including our use of your personal information. If you terminate our services, we will not be entitled to any fee for any move-in you make after the date of the termination notice unless either:

1. The assisted living facility or assisted living home you choose within the next twelve months is one that we specifically identify and refer to you after we evaluate your profile and requests but before we receive your notice of termination.

2. You communicate with us before you move into the assisted living facility or assisted living home.

If you move in, the community you chose pays us a referral fee, never you; any nearby communities we suggest are chosen by your answers, never by what they pay us.
