Key Review Excerpts

The manager, Tiffany, was always extremely helpful and communicative with me (which I so appreciated especially since I live out of state). The entire staff really, genuinely cared for my Mom and her health and safety.

Long-term resident's family · 2024★★★★★

I was so very pleased with the wonderful care and love that Tiffany, Benji, Laurie, and the entire staff at Desert Gardens gave to my wife during her struggle with alzheimers, and to me as my wife's prime caregiver.

Spouse/Primary caregiver · 2024★★★★★

The manager was always updating me and making suggestions to help my mother with her issues. My mother had dementia and because she needed extra attention, they would keep her in the kitchen or living room where they could keep an eye on her.
