What is Respite Care? Respite Care is a short term option for those needing a short term option recovering from a hospital visit or other health circumstances. It is also used for those caregivers that need a period of rest for their loved ones. We currently have reduced our minimum stay to 7-days and have a limited amount of availability.

Experience all the comforts of home alongside all the care you need at the Legend Gardens community of retirement residences. Located within a quiet residential neighborhood in the heart of Palm Desert, we offer a range of beautiful facilities designed to meet all of your care needs. Established in 1999 and freshly renovated in 2017, Legend Gardens is one of the most respected retirement and assisted living residences in the Coachella Valley.

My father who is unable to walk without assistance was admitted to Legend Gardens about six months ago. We were told by Carrie, the Marketing director that dad would be taken for a walk daily. At the time of writing, dad has been denied his daily walks for over a week. This has happened multiple times. When he asks to be taken for a walk, caregivers respond by saying "they don't do that". Ashley, a caregiver broke both of dad's hearing aids (valued at $6,000) when trying to change the batteries during the first two weeks of dad's stay. Nobody even bothered to let me, knowing very well that I am

From the moment you walk in you feel like you are at home. The community is on the smaller side but has everything you need. The staff was very polite and you could tell they really care about the people that live there.

In June of 2018 I was a total wreck, my health and mental state was such that my daughter and close friends were telling me that I needed to make a very difficult decision. I needed to relinquish my full time care responsibilities. It was literally killing me, one day at a time. This was increasingly difficult as my bride of 20 years was suffering from the Alzheimer’s disease.
A close friend was encouraging me to consider Legend Gardens, her husband was living in the LG memory care. After visiting the most likely caregiving facilities in the valley l decided to commit to Legend Gardens. After

I have worked closely with the staff and residents of Legend Gardens. The Memory Care one of the cleanest I have ever seen. The care staff is well organized. The Community has a new Executive Director and an excellent team. The staff genuinely cares about the residents and the activity Director is always keeping the residents engaged in fun activities. I would recommend Legend Gardens for your loved ones. It is truly a beautiful place to live.

We had stumbled through the assisted living jungle here in Coachella Valley for about four weeks before we walked through the Legend Gardens front door. From the front door the first thing we see is a smiling, good natured, confident, (and soon-to-learn) competent resident manager named Larry. After our tough previous four weeks, both my wife and I could size up the kind of care a place would provide for our mother after just meeting with the boss. Larry put us at ease instantly. On our tour we met the other key staffers and were impressed with their generosity of spirit. They have a resident there

Finding just the right place for my dear 91 year old mom, was no small task when we moved to Palm Desert a year ago. Legend Gardens, however, was and remains, a blessing. Mom adapted immediately! The caregivers are truly loving and patient, the facility is lovely, and the new administrator, Krystal, is most attentive and proactive. Already, I find improvements. Oh, mom likes the food, too!
