    Review

    Legend Gardens, located in Palm Desert, California, has received mixed reviews from its residents and their families. While some express satisfaction with the care provided and the friendly staff, others have had negative experiences and feel there is a lack of accountability within the facility.

    One family member shares their disappointment that their father, who is legally blind and hearing impaired, has been denied his daily walks for over a week despite being promised this service upon admission. They also express frustration that caregivers responded dismissively when asked about it. Additionally, they highlight an incident where a caregiver broke their father's $6,000 worth of hearing aids while trying to change batteries without notifying them as the Power of Attorney. The family is concerned about the lack of communication regarding their father's well-being and important medical needs.

    Another reviewer offers a contrasting perspective, stating that they were impressed with the helpfulness of the staff during their tour and appreciated the communication they received about their grandmother's activities during lockdowns. They describe the care staff as great and commend them for maintaining good communication with family members.

    A positive review commends Legend Gardens for going above and beyond to help meet their needs. The reviewer finds the facility exceptional compared to other more extravagant options they considered. They feel that Legend Gardens treats their loved one like family and highly recommend it.

    Another reviewer, who claims to be a volunteer at Legend Gardens, praises the treatment of residents by stating that they are "treated great." They emphasize that the employees genuinely care about the well-being of residents and mention how popular Wii Bowling is among them.

    Furthermore, another individual expresses satisfaction with Legend Gardens' staff, particularly mentioning Yndira Avilene, Alejandra Prince, Brandy, and Emely as being nice and wonderful caregivers who provide excellent care to patients in memory care.

    Lastly, a long-term resident's family member provides an extensive review highlighting various aspects of Legend Gardens. They appreciate its location near essential amenities, medical professionals, and recreational activities. They also praise the staff's attentiveness and the facility's promoting of independent living for as long as possible. The reviewer notes the residents' inclusivity and mentions their satisfaction with the meal choices provided.

    In summary, Legend Gardens has received a mixture of positive and negative reviews. While some individuals praise its attentive staff and inclusive atmosphere, others express concerns about accountability issues, lack of communication regarding medical needs, missed appointments, and high staff turnover.
