As a previous patient who was unable to move, walk or anything after falling and having acute pneumonia it was a awesome to be able to walk in and visit with a friend a patient at Desert Canyon Post Acute! The facility is very clean and the needs of the patients were pleasantly met. The staff are kind, and friendly. I would definitely suggest this facility to someone needing this type of care.

We visited a friend who is admitted at Desert Canyon Post Acute. We were impressed with the progress that he has made under their care. He is stronger & eagerly participated with the therapists. He looks great and seems more like his old self. He joked with the staff and had a wonderful, engaging visit with us. The facility was clean and the staff was friendly and encouraging. If our family ever has the need for post acute care, this is a facility we will definitely look into.

My mother has been at this facility since 2024. She was recently moved to another facility that is closer to family which works out very well. Two people have been complete angels in regards to my mother. Andreas and Melody have been nothing short of amazing. They are compassionate, they are prompt with always staying in contact with you which made my family and myself feel comfortable . They are amazing individuals, and you guys are most definitely lucky to have them.
