My mother-in-law is now in Desert Winds Retirement Community, and it's been a great experience. They have casitas available. They have bingo and daily scheduled trips. They have a hairstylist, and they have an array of amenities available to their residents. Their food is very good. We had shepherd's pie for dinner.

My mother was at Desert Winds Retirement three years ago. It was close to where I lived, and it was nice. She was there for about six to seven years, and she was happy there. I went there again in March or April of this year. She was in the independent living part of it. It's just as nice as where I'm at, but there were too memories there. I'd be thinking about my mother every day, so I didn't want to do that. I know she went to some of the games and such, and she liked playing bingo. They had a lot of activities. She never had any complaints about anything. I was happy with it because she was happy.
She had a one-bedroom apartment. The kitchen was too big for her because she didn't like to cook. She got what she paid for. She never complained about what she paid there. It's close to where I lived in Sun City, which was about a mile away; it was convenient. It's not too far from the hospital, grocery stores, doctors' offices, and Walgreens. In fact, she used to walk over to Walgreens to pick up her prescriptions. It's a good location.

We moved into Desert Winds Retirement. It is very nice, and we like it very much. I like the people who run it, and I like the food. Everything is very nice, and they take care of everything. I like the apartment. It is a two-bedroom with two baths, a living room, an eating area, and a nice kitchen. It is very comfortable. There are tons of games and different things like movies and a beauty shop. We got the first COVID shot, and we're getting the next shot this Saturday. The list of amenities just goes on and on. They have games, movies, and entertainment; just about anything you'd want. The food is excellent. Their facility has been here quite a while, and it's been updated somewhat. It is in the process of getting new carpeting. They keep it up very nicely. I have not participated much in the activities yet because we were getting settled, but from what I see they have a lot of different people who are participating and taking advantage of them.

They call you over 12 hours away as a family member and tell you that EMS was at your mothers door this morning when they never were at all. They do not deliver on care that you actually paid for and leave your mother postop for a week without even showering. They refuse to follow through with the care that you had arranged and paid for already and only call you back to tell you that you were imagining the phone call that you received 10 minutes earlier and nobody ever told you that EMS was at your mothers door and it is all in your head but “you can speak to management” at some point later because they are not in. This is the most ridiculous place I’ve ever seen. As a healthcare worker, I would never recommend it again to anyone. Absolutely inappropriate and inhumane to tell an elderly postop resident to “do it herself” with respect to just putting water in the humidifier. But at same time you will receive multiple calls felling you to pay for 24/7 care for your loved one who is otherwise independent but needs minimal assistance- all about money

I moved into Desert Winds Retirement. It's very nice, it's clean, and it has good care. I've been here only a month. They take care of their people, the staff is very good, food is provided, but it's not seasoned, and I'm used to flavorful food.

Desert Winds is not a very big community. The people seem very nice and friendly. The meal is very good and tasty, and we enjoyed it. I think we'd be very happy there. It's very nice, and it's not overly humongous. They have a nice exercise room, a gym, and a pool. The meals will be prepared for us, and they have driving to shopping and church services which we will obviously need assistance with.

I am in independent living at Desert Winds. The facility is close to my son and granddaughter. The staff is very efficient and very friendly. It's a two-story facility, and there is parking if you have a car. A bus service goes in a 12-mile radius. Everybody's friendly and nice. They fixed my room up the way I wanted it, and it's very pleasing to me.
