Assisted Living
This senior facility - apt proves fine care. I have been here 20 years. All the help and support they provide is sincerely appreciated. The 24-hour security and availability is so welcomed.
My Mother has lived at Sun Ridge at Desert Springs for 8 years. She has been very well cared for and treated like a beloved family member. It is a homelike environment that is clean, bright and nicely furnished. The employees/caregivers treat the residents like family and I appreciate the fact that they always let me know the slightest change in my Mother's condition. I know I can drop by any time and my Mom will be in clean clothing and ready for company. It makes me feel good knowing that Mom is well taken care of when I can't be with her and she is happy and she has always genuinely seemed to genuinely liked the staff. If I ever have a concern or issue I know I can go to the director and have questions answered and problems solved right away. That gives me peace of mind and the knowledge that Mom is safe and comfortable.
At the time, she was in Assisted Living and had the most personal feel. Also location and newness of the facility. Overall it's been good with a caring staff. Mostly good communication with leadership. Like most places, they need more staff. But I would recommend
