Excellent on everything! i really think this move was perfect for my mother, the facility is wonderful and clean. the staff is super nice. if i had a complaint it would be they have a bus that only holds 12 people for a facility with over 100 residents. it is difficult to get your name on a list to go to Walmart when so many people want to go ....

The kitchen doesn't know how to accommodate the hours that are posted and residents expect. The staff are very friendly. However, there isn't enough staff.

April 8, 2021Hello James, thank you for your review. We appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback. Our goal is to have happy residents and family members so your feedback is important to us. Please feel free to contact the local team directly if you would like to discuss these concerns further, they would be happy to work with you. Thank you
I would suggest to others that this isn't set up to be transferred to another part of the community if a resident gets ill. For a senior living community it is great.

The staff exceeds all expectations and goes all out to answer any question or problem! The amenities of the facility leave little to be desired. Management has handled the pandemic in a very thorough way. Several activities are great and varied.

We chose Desoto Beach club because I felt it was very affordable. She also had a balcony off of her nice little apartment. It just overall seemed like a nice place for the money. I would want others to know that if you have a loved one who does not dress to the nines and wear makeup and jewelry, then forget it. The women were not friendly or welcoming to her since she was new. She could never find a place to sit it was like being in high school again. We really liked the community, but she did not fit in so we moved her.

The staff and administration treat you with respect and dignity. With staff and residents Desoto Beach Club make you feel like famiiy. This is a tight knit group where all are welcomed. The activities are great. The Desoto Beach Club's Bus takes to you to many shopping stores in the area. The facility follows all COVID guidelines. The staff cares about the residents. The full size heated swimming pool is great for exercise. The chef prepared meals are outstanding. If I could give this facility more than 5 stars, I wouldand would recommend the Desoto Beach Club to anhone.

Location is very good. Close to shopping and restaurants, as well as close to our doctors. The residents and staff are all very friendly. Staff always have smile to share. We have had all our meals delivered to our apartment due to Covid-19 concerns. Still, it is tasty. There are many opportunities to keep active. My wife and I are becoming comfortable in our apartment. We think this was a good move for both of us. Would select Desoto Beach Club again.

[Removed] visited Desoto Beach Club and really liked it, to the point where he didn't want to visit any other places and has already signed the lease. He moves in on Saturday. Thanks for everything.

October 10, 2017Hi, we are so pleased you enjoyed your visit to Desoto Beach Club! We hope the move went well and you are already enjoying what our community has to offer. Please don't hesitate to reach out if there's anything additional we can do for you.
Good location for us. Attractive, well kept community. Good feedback from resident who spoke with us. Seems good value for the price, with all the services we expect Mom to need if and when we might need them. The residence rooms are attractive and nice size. Two downsides, which might not be deal killers, are the institutional layout of the main room and the meal schedule. Regarding layout, I do not care to see the plenary dining room as soon as you walk in the door. Regarding the meal schedule, everyone eats at the same time. Together these features give DeSoto more of an institutional air than I would prefer for my Mom.

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.
Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
