We cannot rate the activities as our loved one never went to any. Mom moved out yesterday as she fell in the bathroom and started going down hill. She went on hospice. Got bed sores and was no longer appropriate for assisted living. She now lives in a group home.

I would tell a friend, not to go there. My one additional comment would be to make sure the staff has better geriatric medical training.

October 24, 2024Both Assisted Living and Memory Care units have scheduled housekeeping and daily sterilization of all furniture and floors. Incontinence "accidents" especially in a dedicated Alzheimer's environment do occur and every effort to maintain a safe and clean environment are taken to address them quickly. Sometimes it can be challenging. Families can visit Resident apartments and be critical of cleanliness. In assisted Living, residents must maintain their own apartments cleanliness between cleaning days. It's not like a hotel that comes in and cleans daily. Memory Care due to extraordinary high incontinence with Alzheimer's can be most challenging even though it's staff with the regulatory 6-1 ratio. We have a very high standard of accountability in both environments, but timeliness is not always the case especially in the community areas. ALL COMMUNITIES ARE NOT PERFECT OBVIOSULY as they are subject to incidents 24 hrs a day. Training however is one area that is held to a superior standard. The staff are required to attend 40 hours of training initially and must pass tests to be certified. Ongoing refreshers are mandatory every 6 months in addition to monthly specific training topics on behavior and care. Every staff member including management must attend and pass these tests in order to remain employed here. There is no Geriatric Medical Training however as assisted living is standby assist and are non-medical.
My loved ones are still pretty independent and don't need much care. The food needs more variety. The value for the money was better than most places we looked. They are still having a hard time adjusting to not being able to get up and go and do like they used to. Staff have been very helpful. Highly recommend Desert View.

October 15, 2024Great input. Desert View listen to the input and upgraded our dining experience by adding a new Dining Director that has over 10 years in assisted living and a restaurant background and it shows. The residents are raving about the changes in the menu and her creativity, meals taste and garnishing. We still have to be watchful of adding salt and limiting any use of prepackaged foods as most seniors have to watch their sodium intake. She meets with a Dietician monthly to review menus and the residents once a month to review the upcoming 30-day menu and get recommendations for changes they want. The residents have been raving about the change and appreciated the change in our program. Thank you for entrusting your loved ones to our care.
There is always room for improvement, but the staff is always making the facilities spotless! Friendliness of the staff is a 5!! Smiling faces. Amazing attentive to residents, wonderful communication. Always something to do . They decorate for all seasons and holidays! Very comfortable and cheerful when you enter. The care my mother needs is same across the industry my decision was based on location to family which the housing cost is a bit more. Might add about Facility- they are NOT quick to repair/up grade but we would recommend Desert View to other families

October 10, 2024Thank you for your review. You are absolutely correct that there is always room for improvement and it''s always our focus. To address maintenance concerns, all requests are electronically logged onto the Maintenance Portal by our front desk or Maintenance team. The Director now must clear an entry respectively within 24hrs unless it was placed on a weekend and is a non-essential emergency. This will ensure all tasks are completed. no longer than 48 hrs unless marked an immediate emergency. Wea re all about accountability with every staff member. This was very helpful.
My Mom was a resident here for 2 years. Within the 2 years, many things about Desert View went downhill. The biggest issues were with the food and the staff. It seems that once the upper management changed, the corporation cut every corner they could to save money. The food became completely processed, cheap and packaged. Nothing homemade. The activities became boring, repetitive, and non-engaging. The staff became lazy and uncaring. The upper management are like car salesmen, they tell you what they think you want to hear even though it is not the truth. The building and resident rooms need updated badly. There are many other places in town that you can place a loved one ~ similar in price, cleaner, newer, nicer, more amenities ~ so why choose Desert View...

September 5, 2024Thank you for your insight and opinion. As a Director here for 7 years, I can say that Desert View does not consider pre-packaged or processed foods as part of our dietary guidelines as they contain very high sodium content which is not suitable for senior residents as a majority face hypertension. The majority require no salt or low salt diets which is why meals are prepared homestyle and are supervised by a highly experienced Dietary Director with culinary commendations. In addition, a third-party Dietician overseas our menus and food products. 95% of all meals are homemade including desserts which are low or no sugar. Fresh vegetables may be an exception at times as Las Vegas hotels receive preference ahead of Assisted Living. Desert View is also recognized for maintaining one of the lowest staff turnovers in the country which is an issue across the board in communities these days. This includes 7 onsite Directors that have tenure between 7-25 years in our community. We did have a Director promoted 2 years ago unfortunately. There are many newer, shiny, lower cost communities to choose from. While we regret we didn't meet your expectations after 2 years as a resident here, Desert View continues to maintain 100% occupancy year after year as residents generally don't move. We strive for 100% satisfaction and I wish we could have resolved your concerns. Your input was appreciated.
What our family likes about Desert View is the personnel and how very understanding and kind they are. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would definitely recommend this community to other families.

June 25, 2024I like the title "Kindness is King". The world has so much stress and turmoil we make it a point and stress kindness and making an effort to smile and bring joy to the hearts of families. Thank you for your review. We share every review with all staff so everyone understands how their job effects the residents, families, and the community.
I would definitely recommend Desert View Senior Living to others. Overall, it was a good experience. I would say the least of these was the food, but it wasn't horrible. The communication with the family was great, and they were always friendly to us and of course knew us by name. The move in process was easy. Another con would be the laundering situation. They lost some of dad's clothes and usually he was wearing someone else's, but it was a non issue for us. We would just recommend that they mark all the clothes well and maybe not bring expensive clothes there.

May 31, 2024Thank you for the valuable feedback. Food and memory care laundry in a Memory Care unit has been a topic of conversation for the 15years I have represented communities. Desert View is no exception to the issue. It's so difficult to please so many tastebuds and special diets and we appreciate your input. It's interesting to note 50% eat everything, 30 Percent take certain medications that effect taste and flavor or must be on bland diets due to hypertension just do their best, and the other residents tend to like certain things and dislike others. A Dietician oversee the menus and nutrition. Everything is recommended to cook with little to no salt or sugar for diabetics. and high blood pressure. Laundry....you nailed it. No excuses. With 2 industrial machines, once washed and dried, they do their best to sort for each person. It's been an issue in every community I've been associated with. I recommend labeling with an indelible marker, all clothing and personal belongings by last name to help them sort clothing to make sure they end up in the right dresser. We appreciate you! Thanks!!
Ask specific questions about what to bring and what NOT to bring based on the loved ones condition. NB: I am specifically answering about the Memory Care area of Desert View. What I really liked about the facility was: The friendliness, the outdoor garden area with grass, the activities for assisted living, spacious hallways, the "mail room" with a TV, books and puzzles and the location.

May 20, 2024Thank you for the observation and helpful tip on ways we can elevate our communication to families prior to move-in. I realized the pre-move checklist needs improvement and have started to revise with more details to help families navigate the process more easily. Thank you for pointing this out. We continue to improve with the input from our family partners and agencies.
What has made Desert View Senior Living such a good experience so far is definitely the friendliness of the staff. Based on the experience we have had so far, we have already recommended this community to others, and will continue to do so.

May 16, 2024Thank you. A happy staff equates to better quality of services. Our goal is to create smiles to make Desert View a happy place to live. This creates an amazing environment to live in.
My Dad had so many complaints: I don't think the facility had adequate staff to address his issues. He wasn't assisted properly. We paid [fee removed] just to get him in; also the monthly fee of over [fee removed] . Within one month he contracted COVID there and died on [date removed] alone. I haven't addressed it but I feel they should return the [fee removed] . He had to be tested for COVID prior to being accepted into the program and died one month and a day later by being exposed and contracted COVID!

May 8, 2024Words can never bring back a loved one. Our sincere heartfelt condolences. COVID remains a threat in every community nationally. 2022 was the last year that required COVID testing before residing in a community. Licensed communities are mandated to report COVID and any infectious disease. Desert View, fighting this new unknown virus had one of the lowest number of fatalities in Las Vegas as the result of COVID. Staffing meets or exceeds the State guidelines, but it will never be enough aside from one-on -one care. Desert View maintains the State of Nevada "A" grading, the highest grade possible as we consistently maintain a 98% care and compliance standard exceeding the industry average of low 90's. 2022 was the last year that required COVID testing before residing in a community, a practice we hope remains in the past.
Desert View Senior Living and Uplift Hospice sets the high standard in Las Vegas. Everywhere else is a distant second. I placed a family member there in Dec 2023 after touring 10 facilities since 2016 in anticipation of ultimate placement once this person could no longer live by themselves. I knew the tangible and intangible factors I was seeking. My expectations were exceeded. As a career naval officer, I have a good sense for teams where winning is a habit, or in this context outstanding, compassionate care is the norm. Charlie, a man of action and sincerity made the transition seamless. Every single member from Mindy at the front desk to executives like [name removed], [name removed], the Maintenance Chief to all the wonderful medical technicians impressed me as total professionals. I feel especially qualified to give this review as my family member rapidly declined and I was there 1-2Xs/day for 2 months. I warmed by the care my mother and other residents received.

They are friendly but sometimes they want you to change things such as insurance and healthcare with what they want. Lots of workers but sometimes can't get the help you need I would recommend Desert View Senior Living to others.

January 8, 2024Thank you for submitting your review. I wish I could say we are perfect but there isn't a perfect community. Your input goes a long way into citing weaknesses that we can make strengths. For insurance and pharmacy, it's a courtesy to ask if a resident would consider using an in-house pharmacy or health care agency if the current provider is not responsive to requests from the Wellness Team as our expectations from outside agencies is very high. I do recommend keeping your current provider if you are comfortable retaining them as it's your privilege.
Many of the staff members have been there for several years. When the resident passed, the staff took it very hard. The first thing I noticed was no urine smell. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, especially in Memory Care. The chef is very good, she does both Assisted Living and Memory Care. I would recommend them to others. I believe, right now, there is a three month wait.

December 20, 2023Thank you. Memory Care is one if the hardest Healthcare careers below skilled nursing. It requires passion, love, patience, and skill to care for someone's loved one. It,s an honor to serve you. .
From the first visit to Desert View Senior Living to the first day of move in it has been nothing but pure pleasure to be around and now in this community. ALL the staff and I mean ALL the STAFF go above and beyond for each a every one of the residents living at Desert View Senior Living. My I give a personal recommendation to use [name removed] for your VA needs. He is an expert and is so knowledgeable in all things VA. If you are like us this was our first visit to a senior living place and now we call it home for mom. Thank you Desert View Senior Living staff for making it what it is. A place we call home.

November 30, 2023Thank you, Debra. It's very humbling to see this review as we know that there is always something we can do to improve as time goes by. We share every review with the staff and share in the responsibility of managing our community as individual owners in each department. It's how we have created such a caring environment unmatched by communities in Vegas. Mom is delightful and it's an honor to serve our veteran's widows. Welcome to the family! We'll continue to strive to meet your expectations.
My mother is very happy there, she feels very well taken care of, they keep the place very clean, the food is very good, and there are activities scheduled during the day. They provide housekeeping and laundry service.

If family is active in care of loved ones, more attention will be paid to that person. Staff is ready to help if possible. Desert View is older than other assistant living residences I've seen, but sufficient enough to serve the needs of the people living there. My brother-in-law has hospice services and, therefore, he gets 3 days of care from their CNA's. Most others on his floor are much more independent. My brother-in-law eats mechanical food in his room, but the formal dining room has a generous menu for all. The aides respond to calls from residents within 10 to 15 minutes. My main concern is cleanliness which I gave a 3.

November 6, 2023Your input is very helpful. We do appreciate families that use PCA's (Personal Care Attendants) and Home Health as they add additional care that complements our care staff service. Hospice companies are also welcome as they provide a level of care covered under Medicare. We work side by side with reputable health care companies to assist the resident providing them a combined level of care that ensures the best care possible.
Sign up you can't find a better place. I would recommend to others. I picked this community because [name removed] sold me on the place.

September 28, 2023Thanks!! It's a very nice compliment and we are honored to be presented as a choice by families who have visited several communities while searching for a home fro their loved one.
Positive notes: People and staff are extremely friendly. The residents always have something to do. (Many options to keep you busy.) The residents all seem to be happy. The staff are very helpful and friendly to the guests that come and visit. Not so positve notes: The food is bland. Hot showers are hit and miss. Mostly cold showers.

July 31, 2023Thank you Tara, We appreciate your observations so that we can continue to strive to be the best. DESERT VIEW IS WELL KNOWN FOR ITY'S FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE with residents and staff who have created a culture that feels like an extension of home. For dining, a key side note is that the Chefs and cooks follow the recommendation of a certified Nutritionist to accommodate hypertension, high blood pressure, and diabetics which is prevalent at this stage in life. This includes low sodium usage and sugar free substitutes when possible. On a good note, the residents do have salt, pepper, hot sauce, and ketchup plus 3 choices of sugar at their tables to help add flavor when needed. It's a delicate balance between flavor and health.
Everyone is so friendly to the residents but also to everyone that walks in the door- always a hello and how are you! They quickly learned my moms name and made her feel wanted.
