Desert Springs

This is my second experience with them and both were very positive. I like the attitude of the staff. The food was very good and the variety worked for me. A lot of activities and the rooms were well maintained.

Deseret Springs is a great place to live. The start are wonderful. There are lots of activities there every day. The food is pretty good. And they have a van that takes us to appointments. My appointment is very nice. It is quite small but it really nice.

The facility is attractive and very bright-- lots of natural light both in the common areas and in the rooms. We just went through a renovation of all the common areas with minimal disruption and good results. The staff is very friendly, accommodating, welcoming and supportive. Within a few days, they all knew my name. Housekeeping is weekly and is efficient. The managers referred me to a company for help with the move-in process. It was an amazingly smooth process. The meals are good quality, and there are multiple menu options for alternate and healthy choices. They also just installed a refrigerator where residents who may have missed a meal can pick up a sandwich, salad, fruit, yogurt, etc. any time. I would definitely recommend Desert Springs!

I picked this community because of the meals, apartment, independent living, and it's clean. I would recommend to others.

Desert Springs has been great in all aspects. The staff were great, food was good, and the self serve ice cream and popcorn went over very well. A lot of well planned activities and great facility. I felt the price for what was offered was good. They also had a care service on site if needed.

When it comes to the activities I wish they had yoga or Pilates. I haven't needed care. Management is great yet new. They need to pay attention to the upkeep of facilities. Was disappointed that the room hadn't been checked as the toilet wax dirty

Desert Springs – Oro Valley is a phenomenal living experience! My parents have been looking for the right place to move for several years and have visited many communities. While many had a lot to offer, when they found Desert Springs, they found their home! The community is so warm and welcoming. The people living there have made them feel right at home since the first time they went there. They have been able to discuss some of their questions with many of the residents and have found solutions to each thing they were concerned about. The staff is beyond fantastic! [Name removed], sales manager, is epitome of professionalism, kindness and knowledgeable. He will go out of his way to help find an answer for a resident or their families. He approached my parents gently and reached out when an opening for a beautiful apartment became available. With his guidance, they selected this apartment! The management team lives onsite and are also super nice and knowledgeable. It is a comfort to kn

Very interested in how the showers are handicapped friendly

Ideal place to go.

Great place for independent seniors.

I had a bad experience with a staff member at Desert Springs. The director is trying to work on this with me to resolve. The apartment is nice and I have nice views out my window. There is a kitchenette in the apartment. There is housekeeping once a week provided. They will wash linens as well, and take the trash out for the residents.

Visited Desert Springs in Oro valley to inquire about a place for my mom. Met [name removed] who greeted me and showed me around. She was very caring, helpful, and informative. The place is very nice as was the staff. Signed a contract for an apartment for my mom but as time got close it was determined she would need 24/7 care. So I had to change plans and put my mom in a nursing home. [Name removed] was very understanding and only wished for the best outcome. I appreciate her caring. I recommend Desert Springs highly.

Desert Springs is a very nice place. We found it very easy to work with them as far as moving in and out. Even in independent living, they would always gladly check on my loved one. They were very helpful. After a hospital stay, they were bringing all his meals and checking in on him, which is above and beyond what an independent living does. It seems like they offered quite a few activities even with Covid going on. The grounds were always spotless.

We investigated, visited and toured several communities when deciding to move to a retirement community. Desert Springs had more to offer, by far, of what we were looking for, ie, separate and private living area (such as a casita), 3 tasty meals each day, attractive architecture, tastefully and artfully decorated interior, well maintained community and adequate staffing in all areas, the pricing for Desert Springs is very reasonable and competitive with only a month to month commitment. As essential "must"have" is skilled, capable, caring and professional management staff - this is a key element for any retirement community and it is a "shining star" area for Desert Springs as the management team is truly outstanding. We highly recommend Desert Springs as an outstanding, active and well maintained retirement community.

When my husband and I decided we needed to slow down and move into some kind of retirement home, we visited several in our community. This one seemed very good. We have great managers and lots of fun activities to keep us from just sitting in our room. I would say it is the best place to retire and start the next phase of your life!

I am very impressed with Desert Springs. It is the best independent living facility that I have seen. The staff is excellent - they work so well together. Lunch was wonderful. And they have a lively group of people playing songs

Living here for 7+ years. Food good and plentiful. Current management very good and attentive. Did have some issues over a year ago but were solved. Lots of activities daily if you are bored get up and participate! Would recommend it (and have!) to others!

Great place. Everything is very convenient. Great food, Never run out of hot water. Housekeeping - excellent Laundry room - always available.

Food is delicious, a lot of activities to keep you busy, great movies, great management

The management staff is examplary! After several false starts we now have the best. The food has improved so much it is hard to believe. My only suggestion would be that the regional/local managers occasionally walk the property and note areas that need/will need repair before the problem becomes worse/more expensive. Windows need washing
