Assisted Living Reviews for Desert Peaks Assisted Living and Memory Care

I visited this facility

What I like about Desert Peaks was that the area was beautiful. It had a preview of the mountain. I like that if you want to be out, you could enjoy it. It was great. The problem was that it was quite a distance from the doctor's and quite a distance from the cancer center. They were nice people. They called and wanted to make sure they had good follow-through. The apartments were nic and the staff was nice. The place was peaceful. It was out of town so it had a nice ambience. The dining area was nice. I love the patio facility, which was really nice.

Provider Response

We toured Desert Peaks. The grounds were very nice. They had an enclosed indoor turtle garden, which I thought was cute. It seemed like they had activities going on too. That day, they had a birthday party where they had all kinds of decorations, and they had a piano in the activity room. As for the staff, well, I had to wait a long time to get assistance. The reason I didn't choose them is the location: It is way out of the city limits. It is at least a 20-minute drive from the city, so it is very far. And the second reason is that the room is very small.

Provider Response

Dear Deborah, Thank you for your review, we appreciate your feedback and your candor. We understand that the location is not for everyone and we are a little older building. However, you are correct, we do have a turtle garden and work very hard to provide enriching opportunity and fun for the residents. We certainly will be improving our response times, we never want to leave anyone waiting! Thank you again for visiting us and we hope you'll keep us in mind should you know anyone for whom we might be a good fit! Thank you.

Desert Peaks was very clean and very well taken care of, and it's one of the facilities that we're going to consider when the time comes. The person who took us on the tour did a very good job. We had lunch, but there weren't any activities going on that day. The food was good, and the dining area was well-kept and clean. They had a library, a game room, outside areas, a rose garden, and a desert tortoise area. However, it's a little out of the way.

I'm very satisfied with Desert Peaks Assisted Living & Memory Care. It has the most home-like appeal for me. My dad is a rancher, and I was looking for something that seemed comfortable; Desert Peaks fits the bill. They're very professional, but not too institutional-like. The food varies. If dad does not care for the food, they offer alternatives, and they make every effort to provide him with something nutritious that he will eat. In the memory care unit, Dad has a semi-private room, which is pretty small. I just don't feel comfortable with him in there, although they have a very nice common area. If they could offer private rooms in the memory care, that would be better. There are only 10 people in their unit, and the bedrooms are in one little hallway. The dining and the living area are easily accessible.

Provider Response

Thank you for taking the time to submit a review. We appreciate your feedback on your experience—we work very hard to create an environment that is warm, friendly, comfortable and as home-like as possible. We are glad that you found that country home-like setting here. Memory Care is a little smaller in apartment size, we realize. Because those with cognitive impairments function at a higher level when they stay engaged with others, we encourage them to be out in the common areas more than in their own sleeping areas where they can get isolated, even with a roommate. We understand this may not be ideal for everyone, but am glad that you are pleased with the common areas since we do encourage activity and socialization as often as possible. Feel free to stop by and chat anytime if you have any further concerns, feedback or suggestions. Thanks again for your time!

Desert Peaks is older but closer to my house and in a nice, country setting with an Alzheimer’s unit. It wasn’t an ideal tour; the manager had been called out, and maintenance showed me around. I saw a huge room. One of the caregivers was really helpful as was the maintenance man, but maybe they weren’t fully staffed. The dining area is average. I didn’t like the halls and the locked doors we had to go through, so overall, I wasn’t impressed.

Provider Response

Thank you very much for your feedback! It is much appreciated. I am glad to hear that we are neighbors! Yes, this is a wonderful country setting, and we have gardeners living here who are enjoying the spring time planting. I am the new Administrator, and I feel honored to be the leader of this lovely community. During the time you visited, the community was indeed in a leadership transition. I am so sorry to hear that your tour was less than ideal, but happy to hear that our maintenance person and one of our care team members were helpful. We do have an amazing team here. Since you live so close, I would love to invite you to stop by so we can meet and chat, and perhaps share a cup of coffee or iced tea or lunch together. I know how important that first impression is, and I would be grateful for another opportunity to connect with you. Thank you again for caring enough to let us know about your experience.

Dessert Peaks is a very small place. The rooms are extremely small and not very comfortable as far as I could tell. They have small suites with a little living area, a bedroom, a bath, and a tiny kitchen area where you could mainly make coffee or something like that. They also have Alzheimer's care there. They were in the process of redecorating -- they had just sold to another company -- and my impression was it was not very attractive or very comfortable. The location is very comfortable because it's in a little road with trees, and as you know we are in the dessert here, so the surrounding trees are very pleasant. The managing director was the one who took me around, and she was very nice, but I made the decision that this was not the place I want my husband to be.

Provider Response

Thank you for your feedback, we appreciate hearing from you. Yes Desert Peaks is small. We have only 45 units. For those seeking a small, intimate, family environment with a lot of social engagement in the dining room, on the patios, courtyards, porches, and other common areas with friends and families it is a good fit. Our remodel is coming to a conclusion now, including the remodel of some of our 1 bedroom apartments. We have new flooring, new paint, and new parking lot. We also expanded the Mountain Vistas neighborhood providing more specialized programming for those who have Alzheimer's or other cognitive challenges. The Assisted Living Neighborhood has amazing new flooring in the large dining room, which we use as a dance floor and party room when we have our monthly musical events. I am glad you liked our location! It is such a beautiful country setting, with lots of patios and outdoor space. We even have a Desert Tortoise habitat in one of our courtyards, and we all enjoy the natural habitat here. Please free free to stop by if you are in the neighborhood and see the changes, and join us for an event or a meal. We would love to meet you. Thanks again for taking the time to tell us your impressions. We take all feed back to heart.

My mom is at Desert Peaks. It seems to be OK. My mom has a room by herself right now until they get some more people. However, I think they would probably need more employees. They do have trips on Tuesdays and Thursdays. They would take them for doctor's appointments. They have a lady that does their hair onsite, but she is only there on Mondays. Also you can go in and spend the whole day with your family member. They play bingo and board games, so I think it is alright. The memory care units are locked, and the other ones are not locked, so there are actually two sides to the facility. The facility is very clean, and everyone has been friendly.

We had my mom at Desert Peaks' assisted living first, then they had to move her to their memory care. So far, I don't have anything to complain about because they've been wonderful. She's been having trouble adjusting. They've had to take her to the hospital several times for infusions, and they've notified me of all instances that happened to her. The staff is wonderful. Communication has been kind of difficult because there's one number. After the first time she went to the hospital, I kept calling to get a hold of the director, and for someone to give me information. My mom went on Saturday night, and Monday I finally got some feedback. Someone answered and told me that it was the director's last day and I didn't realize it. I was a little bit upset about that since I called her all weekend, but she's no longer with the company. The new girl, Jana, who's the wellness director, has been really good at communicating with me. I haven't tried them but they serve nutritional and balanced meals. The facility itself is very homey and clean. I researched several other facilities, and this one was comparable or lower to the rates I found. I'm satisfied with it. They have a salon, but I don't know if it's open again because of the COVID. They do laundry too.
