    Beautifully maintained upscale senior living

    I live here and it's beautifully maintained with spacious, apartment-style units and hotel-like amenities - superb dining (varied and restaurant-quality, though pricey and occasionally repetitive), immaculate grounds, pool, theater, gym, arts rooms, dog park and constant activities. The staff are phenomenal, attentive, friendly and service-oriented; transportation is excellent (including free doctor trips nearby) and housekeeping is reliable. It's upscale with large upfront or high monthly costs and limited 24-hour care, so best for independent seniors who can afford it. Overall I highly recommend it for safety, social life, and top-notch service.

    About Segovia

    Segovia, sometimes called Oakmont of Segovia, sits in Palm Desert at 39905 Via Scena and offers luxury senior living in a three-story building with manicured flower gardens, winding paths, and cheerful courtyards with tiled fountains, which means residents get to enjoy both beautiful views and quiet places to relax, while the large indoor common areas have comfortable seating, fireplaces, and warm lighting, making them feel cozy and inviting, and the dining areas stand out with chandeliers, white tablecloths, and meals made by skilled chefs using fresh ingredients, plus there are both indoor and outdoor eating choices.

    The apartments come in sizes from 486 to 1821 square feet, ranging from studio to two-bedroom layouts, with features like granite countertops, stainless appliances, fireplaces, and large windows, so residents can pick spaces that fit their needs, and pets are welcome, which is a comfort for many. Segovia offers independent living and assisted living, along with specialized memory care for people with Alzheimer's and dementia, and there are also home care, long-term care, rehabilitation, respite care, and adult day care options.

    There's a heated swimming pool and hot tub, onsite salon, private movie theater, garden spaces, and both onsite and offsite activity options, so seniors have plenty to do every day, whether it's social, educational, or entertainment programs that encourage them to make friends and stay active. The team at Segovia includes a full-time nurse and staff available 24/7 to help with everything from medication management to bathing or just giving a little extra support when needed, always adjusting help to fit every person's needs, and there's a dedicated wellness center focused on keeping everyone as healthy and independent as possible.

    Segovia sits close to local hospitals, specialists, pharmacies, shops, and entertainment in Palm Desert, with regular outings and connections to nearby events. Residents can enjoy chef-prepared meals with vegetarian and kosher options, and there are devotional services held offsite for those who wish to attend. The community holds a high reputation with a 4.9 rating from several reviews and has carefully kept grounds and upscale décor that gives the place an elegant but homelike feel. As part of Oakmont Senior Living and Integrated Senior Living, Segovia also provides strong caregiver support and a range of resources for seniors and their families.
