Independent living—help varies by fit

This is independent living, and residents say it may not fit everyone’s needs.

Reviews repeatedly describe Paloma Landing as independent living, with residents expected to manage their own schedules and attend meals and activities. Some families describe staying satisfied while their loved ones remained independent, but others caution that it did not work when needs increased. One review notes that the facility does not provide assisted living, even though there may be nurse support that can come in for basic needs.

caveat 2 reviews mention this

Rooms lack full kitchen setups

Some reviewers wanted a full kitchen but say the units don’t provide one.

A couple of reviews describe disappointment that there is no full kitchen, even though units may include a small kitchenette setup. One reviewer mentions deciding not to apply after wanting more than a small refrigerator and microwave. Another notes the space includes a sink, cabinets, and a microwave rather than a stove or full kitchen.
