Desert Villa has been in business for about 19 years they are owned and family run. The majority of their caregivers have been their 4 years and longer. The provide excellent, loving, care for all their residents. They take all 3 levels of care. They will work with most families to come up with the best plan of care possible. They have 2-3 staff on for 10-16 residents, plus one of the owner/managers is usually there or available. Their meals are great, it always smells and looks great. They do a huge variety of activities, but always gear it towards the residents they have at the time. They don't have an RN on 24/7 but they have an in house doctor, who is available anytime, they also work with hospice and they use nursing services for all other needs. Every one I have ever seen there seems happy and has nice things to say about living there. They respect the residents rights and their wants.

There is an RN on duty 5 days a week and on call. The caregivers are all certified. They are licensed for 3 levels of care. They have a lot of residents who come there for rehab and then go home.There is a house doctor who visits. The staff seems to be good with caregiving.They do housekeeping and laundry. They have home cooking with 3 meals a day and 2 snacks. There is a rotating menu. The food is good. Activity wise they have bingo. exercises, bbqs and holiday celebrations. They rely on mostly family to take residents out. This a nice appearing and clean facility but feel it lacks in activity stimulation for residents.
