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.

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.

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.

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.

I found Desert Peaks for my husband. I like the location. I like the facility and the personnel. I just like this place. They have a lovely room. I would recommend this place to anybody.

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.

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.
