We are so grateful to Desert Cove Assisted Living. Thanks to them, my Mother is in good care and we are relieved and can breathe easier, knowing she’s safe. The attendants are especially good and kind to her, and the management, Heather and Nancy, are caring and responsible. Desert Cove is an assisted living facility, but they go above and beyond basic assisted care. Most of the people there, including my Mother, have dementia, and Desert Cove is actually providing Memory Care. Thank you Desert Cove, Heather, Nancy, and the attendants, especially Gilbert, Hero, and Heidi for the great care you give. Michael Ritchie Richard Rombach 11/12/2022. An update Mom just passed this morning after a short illness. During her struggle with dementia, the staff at Desert Cove gave her the best care possible, going above and beyond to make sure her needs were met. Every single staff member showed Mom and us the very best in professional care and compassion. Desert Cove was a true Godsend. I don’t hesitate to recommend them. Thank you Heather Scott and the entire team at Desert Cove Michael Ritchie Richard Rombach

I can not say enough about the care the WHOLE staff provides to their residents. Both of my parents moved there when my Mother's dementia became more than my father and the rest of us were able to safely care for. As difficult as the condition can be, every one of the staff was caring and patient. I never once worried about her while on their care. Erica was awesome with her experience and expertise. Cindy was also amazing. All of the care givers and staff were all caring and supportive. My Mother passed away early November. She received hospice care while at Desert Cove and everyone there made sure she was comfortable. This part of life is not easy. I would highly recommend Desert Cove if you are ever in the difficult situation of having to move your loved one(s) into assisted living.
