This place is horrible. My mama was sexually assaulted by a male nurse, the med techs have messed up her meds multiple times, the food is garbage. They NEVER call me back. I’m contacting lawyers. I have my mama on waitlist for other places. I have a fully autistic son otherwise she would live with me. I’m reporting them constantly.

My mom always complains about the food, and her room is not always clean. But every one is very friendly and helpful.

New ownership...high staff turnover and poor training. Food is not good...few choices..lots of pork and gravy. Not much fresh fruits and vegetables. New paint job, carpet and art....but that doesn't matter if other things are bad. Please don't put your parents there. This was dinner 9/10/2025. So disappointed that things havent changed. As of March 2026 not much has changed. Food could be better, continued staff turnover and poor response time from management.

We just recently moved my father-in-law to Desert Sage Retirement and I have to say everything went very smoothly. The staff are extremely professional, courteous and kind. We totally recommend Desert Sage Retirement. They facilities are top notch and so are the staff.
