I visited this facility

I did a tour of High Desert Haven. It was wonderful, they were very responsive. They let us come up several times to take a look around. The place is very clean and very homey. It was a great place. I only dealt with the director. I really didn't see anyone else. Her name was Carolyn, and she was an absolute joy. She was very helpful with everything. They happened to be playing bingo when we went by that day. But they had their calendar of activities posted on the wall. There was a library, and they had a litt…

I saw both the assisted living side and the memory unit at High Desert Haven. I'm very familiar with this establishment because I'm a docent at our local museum and we bring programs to that facility from time to time and the people who participate in the programs are primarily still cognizant and don't wander. The side that has the memory unit at High Desert Haven is the locked-up unit. It is a brand new facility. It's very clean. It's got a large common area where people can sit and watch…

I visited this facility

High Desert Haven was beautiful, looked really nice and clean, and the level of care was more in line with what we need for my grandmother.

The independent location would be a little further away so she would have a little b…

My mother-in-law is extremely happy at High Desert Haven. It's a very clean facility. It's a newly built wing. The caregivers are very nice and she's very happy with them. Since it's a memory care unit, one person will read and they'll have storytime. I've seen them do activities like rolling a ball back and forth, they take walks outside, and they have an organist come in and play once or twice a week. The meals are very good. They have the menus posted and they seem to be healthy, bu…

My father is at High Desert Haven. It is clean and well-organized. The administrative staff is very helpful and very patient in all my inquiries and calls. They call me when something comes in, so there is communication going on there. I sat with him and stayed with him at meals; the food appeared to be good. Meal times are regular. The hands-on staff that provides him with bathing, dressing, and medication and such are very friendly. My father can be a little demanding at times, so they're really good with hi…

Doing Great

They’re doing great. They’re fantastic. I think they have a good variety. Just that they take great pride in their work. They genuinely care for each person there and not just because they get paid, if you know what I mean. There is enough parking. The food is good.
