I visited my aunt at Desert Cove Nursing Center and was very concerned. The uneven flagstone walkway is a clear tripping hazard, and the furniture inside is deteriorating and flaking, creating a risk for cuts or injuries. Most concerning, my aunt shared that her pain has been neglected. This facility needs better management and safer conditions. I will update this review upon my aunt’s release.

Candis gave me the best advice for my father when discharging from the hospital to Desert Cove. She’s checked in with me during his stay and after his release. I’m so thankful for her guidance and the care the facility provided to my father.

Hi my name is Rosita, let me add some background information my mom shorty suffered a stroke 6 weeks ago, for the first 4 weeks she was at another facility. Towards the end of her stay I was advised to send my mom to a skilled nursing facility to continue working on her recovery/therapy. I was able to get her into a place close to home not knowing how it was going to turn out and be such a horribly wrong choice. I got in the phone made some calls With the help of my moms health insurance I was able to find & call DESERT COVE NURSING CENTER. Thank you Crystal (I have so much gratitude for you) I was able to get my mom into a room, my mom has been here for 4 days thriving tremendously, she has been treated so well here. So far my mom’s strength has improved we are still working on balance and able to stand/walk without needing assist, With determination we will get there. Thank you Desert Cove for giving me the peace of mind that my mom is being taking care of after hours and treating her with the upmost respect. Also the food has been great, and accommodating her needs; housekeeping is wonderful; housekeeping comes in every day once a day. In my opinion if you are needing a short term facility center to recover I highly recommend desert cove. Thank you so much and may my moms stay continue to get better throughout the time she is here. Sincerely, Rosita Childers

I was in the facility for over a month and I must say I don’t have many complaints! I was there recovering from surgery. The administration was very on point in terms of informing me of things I needed to be aware of during the process of transitioning and during my stay. My Specialty Dr. appointments were scheduled with transportation arranged to accommodate my wheelchair needs. I also had immediate access to my medical records upon request without hesitation. The staff knew me by name even before I could name them. Physical & Occupational therapy daily. The CNAs were very attentive to my call light. The Nurses were on top of my medications and the Dr. addressed my pain needs to help me be comfortable. And OMG! the food was surprisingly Good! It surpassed my expectations! The food services Manager was trying to fatten me up with my customized orders! Now on to the next phase of recovery…Thank you Desert Cove!
