Positive

Sunridge at Desert Springs is a beautiful assisted living facility with a beautiful, green courtyard. I know that memory care residents are benefited by being housed with assisted living residents, but I think my mother would become depressed thinking that would be her future state and would rapidly go downhill. I will not be placing my mother there. Sorry.

Mom

[Name removed] and her staff are great! My mother is early onset Alzheimer’s and so she doesn’t think she should be there. The staff helped to make her feel like she was there to help others and now she is coming out of her apartment,ore often and engaging with others. Her meds are administered on time and staff call me with concerns. I highly recommend Desert Springs as it is a smaller community and very caring environment.

A wonderful choice for my Mom

My Mother has lived at Sun Ridge at Desert Springs for 8 years. She has been very well cared for and treated like a beloved family member. It is a homelike environment that is clean, bright and nicely furnished. The employees/caregivers treat the residents like family and I appreciate the fact that they always let me know the slightest change in my Mother's condition. I know I can drop by any time and my Mom will be in clean clothing and ready for company. It makes me feel good knowing that Mom is well taken care …

My Mom is happy and loves the staff

My mother has lived at Sun Ridge at Desert Springs for many years. I love the home atmosphere and the staff which takes great care of my Mom. They treat her like she is their Mom. I appreciate that. She is always clean and well fed and if there is any problem I am notified right away. It is important to me that she have really exceptional care all the time because I work. I do get by to see her almost every day but I know that if I can't get by to see her she is well cared for. If there is a problem I appreciate …

It's a good place to have your loved one.

I really like the atmosphere of Sunridge at Desert Springs. My husband likes it also. It seems like a big roomy home that is beautifully decorated. All the staff greets the residents and the visitors with a friendly attitude. They are very helpful and answers your questions and concerns.

Critical

No accountability, Poor and Inconsistent Care

We removed mom from the care at Desert Springs just at 7 months. This was largely due to very poor management and supervision. Most of the staff were very caring and attentive, however too often my mothers apartment condition was in terrible shape, she was too often left in the same clothes. They didn’t bathe mom regularly, I would shower her. The staff was not trained to handle the varying behaviors of dementia / Alzheimer’s. Too often people who were more capable were left wandering with no supervision. Too many …
