Desert Springs Senior Living

Alfred

I loved Desert Springs because the people were genuinely friendly and nice. I enjoyed it. I had lunch with one of the nice young ladies in charge. The dining area was nice and had an atmosphere of friendly people, and the food was good. They have small portions, but it's enough. The room I saw was a little bit small.

We visited Desert Springs. It was a nice community, and it was affordable. The staff members were very nice and friendly, and they have every amenity that all the other places do. The apartment was larger than most places, and they actually have a stove in it (where the other places did not). They have games for the residents like Bingo, and scheduled activities along with transportation.

Desert Springs Senior Living was really nice and homey, but it's an older facility. Everybody was really wonderful there. I really liked it. I wanted to put my dad in there, but it wasn't for him. He needed more care and couldn't afford it. I'm worried about distribution of his medication because he's lazy and not going to do it. I needed to put him some place where he had a nurse, so they could distribute his medications to him. I checked the menu and I looked at the dining area, and it's beautiful and very nice. Activities were wonderful. People were watching in the TV room and there were people mingling and talking. I know someone who lived there and they treated him wonderfully. The person who assisted me was excellent. She was so good to me.

Desert Springs was wonderful, very clean, and welcoming. They were very courteous and the rooms were nice. The people there were quite old and I'm just not in that age bracket yet. They serve three meals a day and they have laundry facilities. There were all kinds of groups and clubs for everybody, like crafts, movies or TV programs, dancing, birthday parties, and so on. It was just wonderful.

Desert Springs Senior Living was a nice place to stay. The amenities and activities were fine. They had poker games there. The food was fine, too.

Everything was nice at Desert Springs. They showed me a small unit and a one-bedroom unit. Some rooms had refrigerators and some had microwave ovens. They're unfurnished, so you have to furnish it. The dining room looked fine. The staff member who assisted me was good and knew what she was talking about. The only thing is that Desert Springs Senior Living doesn't apply to us because my wife has dementia, so she has to go to a different place.

Desert Springs Senior Living was recently renovated and it was very nicely laid out, very pleasant, and very clean. The staff was wonderful. Even the residents were very pleasant. It was a very nice community. They had a big board of activities and an activity room.

Daryl

Desert Springs had a lot to offer and activities going on. They served three meals a day. The staff was very personable, very helpful, and very knowledgeable about the community and what it had to offer senior citizens. The residents were very congenial and very pleased with the operation.

Grand Court Las Vegas (Desert Springs Senior Living) was very nice. It was an elaborate group home with amenities and had a very nice layout. I would definitely recommend this place. The room that I saw was very compact, clean, and accessible. It was like an enlarged bedroom.

My mom moved into Desert Springs, and so far, it's pretty good. She participates in the activities. They're pretty caring, and anytime I call and ask them to do something, they do it. It's an older property, but it's well-kept, and she says the food is excellent. The have a poker room, game room, and crafts. She's in a studio, but they offer a lot of options for accommodations.

I spent over a year and a half at Desert Springs. It's independent and assisted living. It's very nice. It's a single building with three levels. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a pool, but it has elevators, so you don't have to use the stairs if you're on the second or third floor. They have a great staff. They have nurses and qualified attendants on duty at all times. The food was why I left. When I first got there a couple of years ago, the menu was adequate. It wasn't anything you'd really write home about, but the food would sustain any individual. About eight months before I left, the management got into a financial problem, so one of the things that they did (to my understanding) was to cut down on the quality of the menu. That's what drove me out, because I just wasn't seeing anything healthy with the food that was available. I was either dining out or I was ordering delivery and things like that. I finally just decided that if I'm going to be doing this, I might as well go back and live in my own home. They used to have dancing, two nights a week they had Poker, and they had bus tours, casino tours, and shopping tours, anything you needed to keep you busy. They have once a week housekeeping and even though I didn't want them to, they changed the sheets on my bed and cleaned the apartment from top to bottom. It was great. If it wasn't for the food, I would be back there, or I would have never left in the first place.

I toured Desert Springs. It didn't leave with me a powerful impression. It wasn't as nice as the other places, but it certainly was up there with the best of them. It was well done. Somebody paid attention to the design, the selection of the materials, and the building of it. They had a schedule of activities. It was outside my budget.

Desert Springs Senior Living was less expensive than others, but it's much older and a little bit rundown. It would've been my second choice from the ones that I visited. All that I met with was okay. I saw their activity room, and it seemed like they had a lot of different options and things set up. The room sizes were very big, but they were old, like the popcorn ceilings and older carpet. They weren't upgraded.

I chose Desert Springs Senior Living because of the size of the room and privacy. For the same amount of dollars, I've got a three times larger space than where I was and a private room. They have bingo and poker games, and they had someone sponsored donuts and coffee this morning. The place is larger and more residents live here. It's older, and like a 2-star hotel. The food is skimpy and they don't seem to have much meal choices. I was led to believe there was a microwave oven and when I moved in, they said if I want it, I have to buy one. It's dark in the lobby and the whole place needs a coat of paint. There's a shopping mall right out in front and I can walk to that. A lot of the residents here need a lot of help. I see quite a few people in wheelchairs and being assisted eating. The place needs brightening up. It's like being in a hotel where you're traveling and you don't know anybody.

Desert Springs Senior Living was good and it's very convenient. The staff during the tour was very friendly and very informative. I saw a one-bedroom apartment with a studio type kitchen. The food wasn't the greatest, but it was edible. It wasn't real tasty from my point of view. They had a class going on for basket weaving when I was there. They had a beauty shop, a common area, a library, and a dayroom where they do activities.

I was disappointed with Desert Springs. The main entrance was through the strip mall, so it was difficult to find. When I found it, the staff member wasn't overly welcoming, did not recall my appointment, and did not invite me into her office. She gave me a very quick tour, took me back to the reception area, and gave me literature. It was very haphazard, which turned me off. They should get a good sales and marketing manager and some signage.
