I would definitely recommend this Retirement Community. We moved our mother in this past weekend and we are extremely impressed. All the staff were so welcoming and made her feel so comfortable. I love that there is someone at the front desk at all times (even after hours and all weekends). The facility is clean, beautifully maintained and very upscale. Her one bedroom apartment is amazing, with a small patio overlooking the pool area. They keep the residents engaged with activities Monday through Sunday. The administration is professional, present even on weekends and you can truly feel how much they care about the residents.

Our appointment visit was very professional and covered all aspects of the different plans offered to us. The friendly atmosphere of the residents was an example of the congenial atmosphere of the staff and residents relationship… our sister is going to be very happy here.

The location is absolutely stunning reminds me of a resort. The staff were so very friendly and welcoming. Mrs. Castillo welcomed me as of if I was a family member or a long lost friend who we haven’t seen each other in years. The dedication she has for the community and her residents is remarkable. She knows everyone by name and engages in conversations with them. She was very thorough with the details of the rooms and living situations. She offered to help with other resources if need be. Just overall hands down if I could live there I would. But I am looking for a place for my father. Definitely will be choosing Desert Rose hands down, compared to any other place in Yuma. Thank you Marlene I truly love to see someone LOVE what they do for a living and your proof of that!!
