I was very impressed by the owner Maria who is a nurse with an very extensive medical background. The home was clean and welcoming when you enter. The staff all worked together to provide good care. My mother felt safe and a part of all of the the group, staff and residents. Dale.

My family recently moved my grandma into Desert Sage assisted living. Maria and the staff were warm, friendly, and so caring. They made the transition very easy and made my grandma feel safe and welcomed. Maria’s experience in the nursing field was very comforting and she easily answered all questions we had regarding the transition process. The home is very clean, peaceful, and serene. The staff were all amazing, approachable, and helpful. They truly made a difficult emotional situation as easy and stress free as possible.

There is no more important decision in my life than who I chose to help me care for my mother and I choose Desert Sage Assisted Living. Not only is their performance bar for care far ahead of other facilities I have experienced, but it’s also owned and operated by a registered nurse who cares as much for my mother as she does for her own.

How our free service works, and how we are paid

Arizona asks us to share this with you in writing before we introduce you to a community.

MyLivingChoice is a free service that helps you find senior living. We are paid by our participating communities: if you move into a community we introduced you to, that community pays us a referral fee. You never pay us anything.

We do not own or manage any community, and none owns us. Our only ties to the communities we list are the referral agreements that pay us and the listing upgrades some buy. A community that pays us is marked Partner or Sponsored on our site, and a community that has bought verification is marked Verified.

The communities we suggest may not be every one in your area, and we can only make introductions to communities that work with us. We suggest communities by the care you need, the area, your timeline and budget, and what families say about them, never by what a community pays us. If a community stops meeting our qualifications, for example its licence lapses or it stops accepting referrals, we stop suggesting it.

To make an introduction we share your name, contact details and the care needs you told us about, and nothing else. You can stop using our service at any time, for any reason and at no cost, and if you do we will let any community we introduced you to know.

Arizona law requires that we provide you with the following disclosure notice.

We are in the business of referring residents to assisted living facilities and assisted living homes. We will be paid by the assisted living facility or assisted living home if you move into one of the referred assisted living facilities or assisted living homes. The fee we receive from the assisted living facility or assisted living home into which you move typically ranges from 50 to 80 percent of your first month's rent and care charges. We do have a current business relationship but we do not have a common ownership or control in, or any other financial, business, management or familial relationship with, any of the assisted living homes and assisted living facilities to which we are referring you.

By providing us with a written or electronic notice, you have the right to terminate our services to you at any time, including our use of your personal information. If you terminate our services, we will not be entitled to any fee for any move-in you make after the date of the termination notice unless either:

1. The assisted living facility or assisted living home you choose within the next twelve months is one that we specifically identify and refer to you after we evaluate your profile and requests but before we receive your notice of termination.

2. You communicate with us before you move into the assisted living facility or assisted living home.

Sending your request confirms that you received the notice above. By submitting, you're okay with us and Desert Sage Assisted Living and any other communities you ticked reaching out by phone, email or text. Always free for families. We suggest communities by the care you need, the area, your timeline and budget, and what families say about them, never by what a community pays us. If you move into a community we introduced you to, that community pays us a referral fee, never you. Those referral agreements are our only tie to the communities we list. If a community stops meeting our qualifications, for example its licence lapses or it stops accepting referrals, we stop suggesting it. How we work · FAQ
