Bella Villaggio in Palm Desert offers three levels of residency—Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care—under one roof. Residents who wander, either morning or evening, or who are at risk for elopement receive structured monitoring and redirection. The Memory Care program also accepts individuals with advanced dementia, providing an environment designed to reduce confusion and maintain safety.
Medical oversight is strengthened by licensed nurses on staff, background-checked caregivers, and an awake night shift. Pull-cord call systems, door alarms, 24-hour security personnel, and a fenced rear area give added safeguards. A therapy room is available for rehabilitation or maintenance programs ordered by outside clinicians. Staff can supply full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, while residents who can manage eating independently are encouraged to do so. Mobility support ranges from supervision with a walker to one-person wheelchair transfers, ensuring residents receive the least-restrictive help needed.
Accommodation choices vary; some apartments feature private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, and cable service, while others may offer only a subset of these options. Residents may paint or decorate their spaces to make them familiar. Regular housekeeping is included, and those in Independent Living can also schedule light housekeeping and laundry as separate services if they prefer more control over their routines.
Meals follow a set menu prepared by the culinary team, with snacks accessible between dining periods. Therapeutic diets, texture modifications, and physician-ordered dietary restrictions are accommodated to align with individual health plans.
Community amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, library, internet access, and concierge services. Outdoor options span communal gardens and a pool, while organized on-site religious services support spiritual needs. Scheduled transportation, along with the property’s proximity to public transit, helps residents reach appointments and outings. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
