Highly recommended

I have nothing but good things to say about Desert Winds. The staff are very caring and they were very fair with me since my dad only got to spend a few days here. I felt that they were all excellent. I would highly recommend Desert Winds to other families and already have to friends.

Would highly recommend

I would highly recommend Desert Winds I. The care my father received was excellent. Unfortunately his physical and mental condition deteriorated so rapidly due to his illness and I had to move him to another facility. But up until the day he was moved, he received excellent care. The owners made sure that I was advised of any changes and I had confidence that his needs were being met and he was safe.

Tour experience

We had a great tour experience with Desert Winds. It looked like a very good place to have a loved one. The downfall for us was it is a smaller place. I felt that they did not have the sufficient staff to care for my loved ones condition and needs.

The Best Care

Desert Winds has been a Godsend for my father. I am so pleased that we were pointed in their direction. Dad receives the best care in a clean, safe, in-home environment with home cooked meals, personalized care and love that surrounds him daily. I cannot say enough good things about this home. The owners/caregivers are the best you will find.

Great Assisted Living Home!

My mother-in-law is a resident at Desert Winds I. She loves living there--and often says so. The caregivers are wonderful people and are very loving and kind to the residents. My mother-in-law is always clean and dressed nicely (often with a bracelet or earrings). Meals are mostly home-cooked and tailored to the residents' needs. We have been very happy with our loved one's experience there.

Exactly what my mother needed. A small facility with terrific care. Not much for her to do, however this seems to fit her personality. I can see improvement in her health and state of mind. A previous larger facility did offer more in the way of activities, however lacked the personal care that she is receiving at Desert Winds 1.

A Incredible Community

Desert Winds is wonderful. [Removed] are incredible. The way they care for everyone, their warm souls, they're just wonderful. The food is amazing. They have such a good cook there. It's a small facility and not very fancy, but it is well-kept and clean. I would absolutely recommend Desert Winds.
