Desert Rose

I toured Desert Rose. I loved it. What I liked the most was the caring atmosphere, how they catered to the seniors, and how they have multiple activities throughout the day for them to choose from. I can go on and on. I love the location. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. I just totally loved it. I plan to take back Dad for a visit to have lunch because he ended up knowing some friends that are there, so they invited him to come back, so we're going to go back and visit them, and maybe have lunch at that time. They were very, very hospitable. The place was spotless everywhere we went. We did visit two rooms, a one-bedroom, and a studio. They weren't even ready for renting out, but they weren't dirty, and they were still pretty nice. We also saw the activity rooms, and that all seemed very clean and nice. My dad loved the place so much that he asked me to cancel the other tour because if he's going to go anywhere, he's already decided it would be Desert Rose.

I toured Desert Rose for myself and my wife. I would say it's a very nice, economical, clean, and friendly facility. The staff was friendly. I looked at the studio and the 1-bedroom. They also have 2-bedrooms, and when you move in, you have new paint and a new carpet. They are pet-friendly, and I know they have group activities. They have a pool table, a piano, shuffleboard, a swimming pool, and a dog park.

My grandfather moved into Desert Rose. It has really nice people, and it's a really nice place. The rooms are nice. The people care a lot, and they're really polite. It's really clean and well kept. It's a nice community. It's a little pricey; all in all, it's worth it.

Desert Rose seems to be very nice. They have been very helpful so far. I met a couple of people who live there and they seem to be quite happy about it. We've eaten their food a couple of times that they have prepared for us and given to us to take out home. The food seems to be good. They have the standard amenities. They have a swimming pool. I haven't done any of it yet because I haven't moved in. I know they have scheduled shows, movies, and such in the afternoons. On a paper they gave me, they have exercises of different types and such. There were a couple of different pool tables. They have bingo, they play different kinds of card games in the evening, and they have a beauty salon. It seems like there is plenty to do. The staff members were very efficient and they gave me all the help that they could on the first day when I was having the tour. I have chosen a 2-bedroom-2-bath. It's 900-square feet. The facility appeared to be very nice.

I had a friend that I used to see in Desert Rose. I also helped her move in there a couple of years ago. The staff was very friendly. They had upstairs and downstairs, but they only had one stairway other than elevators. It was kind of a fire hazard I thought. They had some real nice rooms though. They had a little kitchenette, big closets, a small pool, and everybody had their own TV in their room. They also had room service. They have laundry facilities, if you want to do your own laundry. They have staff that came in and cleaned for you. When I first went there, I had a free meal. I sat at the table with the residents. It was a nice and friendly atmosphere. It has everything you need. I have nothing to complain about except when parking was a little hard. You can always park on the street if you have to. Residents who owned cars have their own parking too. There is also a bus that would take you to doctors' appointments or do a little shopping to have some of your food in your own apartment. They do provide a meal there, and I don't think anybody complained about the food. For a while, they only had trouble with their cook when he quit. They had a hard time getting somebody else, but that happens everywhere.

We went to visit Desert Rose in person. They were extremely friendly and answered all of our questions. It was a very clean establishment and the staff was very helpful. They showed us the dining area, the laundry facility, and the dog area, because you can have a dog. They also showed us three different rooms. It was a great tour. We didn't eat there but they had freshly baked cookies for us. It was an absolutely beautiful facility, it was very clean, and very welcoming, overall an outstanding place.

I was very impressed with Desert Rose. The lady was very nice and explained everything to me. I liked the cleanliness, the rooms, and the outlook of the place. The residents were gathering and talking when I was there. I was very well satisfied with what I've seen. They had a beautiful swimming pool and outdoor activities.

The rooms at Desert Rose were smaller. The layout was smaller and just seemed very crowded. The place was full, and they have a lot of people, but it just seemed crowded when we went on our tour. It was pretty hard to get in and out of the doors and stuff. Having a walker and a scooter, it was really hard for my dad. That is why we changed our mind. The other staff would smile when you walk pass them, but we did not have any interaction. They weren’t rude or anything; everyone was really nice. They have a bus to take people, an itinerary, and a lot of activities.

I live in Desert Rose. The place, grounds, and rooms are really nice. The people working there were really nice and knowledgeable. The location is fine. They offer three meals a day, and the food is very good. They have activities like bowling and checkers. They have some people come in to play music. I will recommend them to others.

Desert Rose was very good, and my mom liked it. The staff was good too, and there’s lots of rooms. The price was reasonable, location was very convenient, and the people were very nice. Security looked reasonable. Mom tasted the food, and it was good.

Desert Rose is very exceptional. Overall, it’s very, very good. I just started this month with them. I was there for 3 days and then waited for a facility to become available.

My dad moved in to Desert Rose. It is a very beautiful, bright, cheery, and friendly place. The dining area is very open and very welcoming. He likes the meals, and the food is excellent and prepared by a professional chef. They have activities, like exerise class, movies, and bingo. He has a fairly good-sized apartment.

My mother and father-in-law are in Desert Rose. It's a nice, clean place with a weight room, walking places, volleyball, and different kinds of card games, but she is not really into the activities. I think they will take them to doctors' appointments, but my mother and father-in-law have a car, so they are not dependent on anybody to take them yet. We have joined them for lunch, and the food is good. The staff are very attentive, wonderful, very friendly, and very helpful. They serve three meals a day, and I do not think there are snacks available, unless they are having an event, like dances in the evening.

My mother lived in Desert Rose for three months. The experience was good, but my mother had a stroke. I moved her out and she’s back in her home. The people who run Desert Rose were great. I had no complaints and the rooms were very nice.

I visited Desert Rose for my parents. I liked it. It was very friendly, very open, and bright. They had nice people, too. The rooms were very spacious and easy to get around inside. They have a small kitchen area but also have their own dining area for the people.

Desert Rose was really good. The people were very nice, and they did what they said they would do for that kind of facility, but it was not the best place for my mother-in-law because she is having some psychological and emotional problems. She did not want to join people in the eating area. Nothing about the place was wrong. It was a really nice place. They had all kinds of activities, and they post them in the elevator and other places, so that people can know what is going on.

Of all the places that I had visited, Desert Rose was number 1. They had an available room for me. The staff had been wonderful. They had all kinds of things going on every day some of which I had participated in. From what I saw during my visit, they seemed to be satisfactory.
