My mother has been at Ponte Palmero for a couple of weeks now. I give all the staff a 10. They are so good, and compared to where she was before, this place is a palace. Everybody is so much more attentive and nicer. We've had no problems so far. It's been absolutely wonderful. Cleanliness is excellent. They have lots of programs and encourage you to participate. She's very happy to do the exercise class, and they're not overbearing or pressuring. They're very nice and have done a good job of getting her included. The facility looks great and well kept up, and the activities are great. It's a little pricy, but it's worth it. They're giving everything that they say they give you.

Ponte Palmero was very nice, but it was too expensive. It was very clean, had lots of activities, beautiful environment, and nice apartments. They had an exercise room and a pool. We just can't afford it. The staff was wonderful.

I loved Eskaton Village Placerville. They have an indoor pool, which was one of the things that would be really nice. The only thing that they had to show us was a small studio. It was a little cottage, which was really cute, but for two people it was just way too small.

We like the housing in Ponte Palmero. We have a 2-bedroom and 2-bath unit with a full kitchen. They also provide all the amenities like meals, maintenance, and all that. The staff was very friendly and on top of things all the time, we just felt really comfortable. We like it has a country feel because it's not in the middle of the city. The place is pretty and well-taken care of. They also provide plenty of activities.

Ponte Palmero was too big and it was old. The gentleman that took us on the tour was nice, but he forgot to give us lunch. We were supposed to go there and have a bite of their food and we never did, but it was alright. I thought it wouldn't be too conducive for my mother because she is not really ambulatory. There were stairs. I was not as impressed. The rooms were big, but they weren't conducive for her. The lighting seemed to be too dark.
