“Desert Gardens Assisted living and memory care is home for Dad and a very special
place. This home is beautiful from every little detail inside the house to the peaceful,
spectacular views in the backyard. This is the first time I have written a review, I think it’s
important for families to know what really makes this home exceptional….it is the highly
qualified, caring, attentive loving staff!”

Theresa R.

“After having visited a number of care homes and feeling distraught, I walked into Desert
Gardens with an immediate feeling of euphoria! It is a beautiful bright and airy
environment, with the most remarkable staff. The attention and engagement given to the
residents is more than I imagined. The Administrator, Robin, immediately allayed my
“fears” of assisted living. I feel at peace to have my husband in such a loving, caring and
safe home.”

Susan M.

“Wonderful staff. Caring, compassionate, and responsive to resident’s needs. They also
do an amazing job communicating with the family and loved ones of their residents. This
is not an assisted living facility, it is a home and the residents are treated accordingly.”

Thomas P.

“Amazingly beautiful. It’s a must see”

Natalia W.

“The staff is beyond amazing… so glad to have my mom safe in such a wonderful place.”

Leslie P.

“Having my mom Sarah at Desert Gardens was the best decision we made for her. They are like family and took very great care of my mom. the care and love she received was more than I could have asked for. Highly recommend them! And I will miss seeing them! Love them all!!”

Stuart K.

“…Now let me sing Desert Gardens praises specifically: They meet all the criteria outlined above, what’s more, they patiently work with US, the demanding family. For that, we will be forever grateful. We’ve seen immediate improvements in mom, including a better appetite and increased energy. Desert Gardens is a beautiful home, beautifully appointed, situated up in the hills to offer beautiful views. We appreciate how well our mother is cared for by Desert Gardens’ kind and flexible staff. There is no “buyer’s remorse” in this choice. We think it’s The Best!”
