We went there just for a tour, because we're thinking of going to Independent living. We were blown away by the facility. It's more like a resort than an institution. We haven't decided yet but I'm pretty sure when we do decide it will be palomino gardens.

I’m thankful for becoming a resident at Palomino Gardens senior retirement community. I’ve made friendships, always asked to join in all the variety of activities both at the center and out about town shopping, dining and events in our theater or area attractions . There’s something for everyone and the residents smiles and laughter are a joyous feeling to be surrounded by daily. The managers, ambassadors and food and housekeeping staff are there for residents and always asking “How can I help you?” With tasty food served daily with a large Sunday brunch no one misses! Plus a beautiful pool with ramp for rehab therapy or to enjoy the scenery while keeping cool. Great place to begin my retirement! Grandkids love the ice cream machine and Bingo😊

This is a wonderful place to live but unfortunately the management here is out of control. They are incredibly rude to the adult children who come to visit and help their parents. They are rude to residents and have no idea as to how to talk to seniors. Corporate should take note of what is going on and replace them with caring people who can treat the residents and their guests with respect as well as manage the residence in an efficient way. It can be done!

The managers at Palomino Gardens are rude, uncaring and petty. There have been many complaints against them to the corporate office and nothing is being done! People being locked out of the building. Dismissive of the residents issues. Totally unacceptable! Visitors are unwelcome by the way the management treat them. This is the residents home and they should feel comfortable having friends and family over!
