My husband lives at Desert Home. Tony has a degenerative neurological disease and needs a lot of help with all of his needs. He is unable to walk or speak. The staff is wonderful with Tony. They are kind and patient. The home is always clean and the residents are well taken care of. The manager, Jessica is always just a text message away. She replies promptly and always goes the extra mile. If you are looking for a place for your loved one, I highly recommend Desert Home.

Desert Home by Platinum proved to be a light in an otherwise trying time. The home is bright, well-kept and made accessible for those with mobility issues. Moreover the staff is warm and welcoming. The manager Jessica has been very supportive and invested in my grandfathers care and recovery from the very beginning. The caretaker Alyssa is so charismatic and treats the residents like family. The Desert Home team is genuine and equipped. I’d recommend them to anyone and am grateful for the continued support they have given to my grandfather and our family.

Such a hard decision to move my mom into a care home but Jessica really made us feel great about our decision. Jessica is so supportive and treats all the residents like family. My mom smiles and lights up when she sees her! We love the staff . They are all super sweet and caring and take time to provide a loving environment for each sweet resident with individual care.

My sister recently moved into Desert Home and she is very Happy. The staff are wonderful and caring. She can need more attention at times and they are always right there to help. The home is beautiful and the patio's offer wonder view. I would recommend Desert Home for your loved one.
