Great Caretakers

My Aunt is living in Desert winds assisted living, [name removed] takes such wonderful care of her, always listens to what she has to say, she is so patient with her, she cares to all of her needs, and is all around such an amazing quality person and her work should not be left unseen. She works so hard at her job and my Aunt has told me the management staff is lacking. I hope everyone gets the chance to meet [name removed] and how wonderful she is to the community.

Review of Desert Winds Assisted Living & Memory Care

My mom has been here for almost 2 years. In that time, there have been 3 Directors, 3-4 head nurses and 3-4 Market Directors. The turnover has been a concern. Elderly people do not do well with change. The instability is a problem. Not sure why their staff keeps leaving. We have to stay on top of everything. Thank god my mom has us!

Review of Desert Winds Assisted Living & Memory Care

I would rate this facility average at best. About 60% of the caregivers are on the ball, the rest are questionable. The care given isn't up to par with what we were told during the introduction regarding the services that would be provided. Also, things just seem to disappear from the resident's rooms. The facility also needs some physical upgrades. Carpeting stained and flooring loose in dining room. The staff, or administrators of the facility, do a very good job with what they have to work with.
