“I want to express my gratitude to Desert Cottages and your highly qualified staff for Mom’s welfare and safety. We have been so relieved and so grateful for the manner in which your Home Atmosphere of Family Caregiving has been for her. The fact that your place is a gated and family-style community makes it feel less institutional; Moreover, that she is not ‘just an account number.’ It is personal. It is family-oriented, and her room is beautiful, clean, and has every comfortable amenity which creates that familiar uniqueness. The personnel with whom we’ve met and discussed her needs are genuinely concerned, and dutifully tend to her with exemplary acts of kindness and knowledge to do what is necessary. My sister and I both appreciate Destiny and Claudia’s speaking with us, and have complete trust in their ability to tend to Mom. We have witnessed their patience with her when she becomes demanding or refuses to do what’s necessary for her best interests. As her family, we believe we have been very lucky, actually, and relieved to have chosen Desert Cottages as the right spot for Mom to stay at this crucial time in her life. We speak often to several neighbors and family members for how we found the perfect place for our Mom. They might need your services themselves one day. . . or, for a loved one. We recommend Desert Cottages to them without hesitation.”

"After almost one month at Desert Cottages II in Indio, my husband is doing better and not sleeping so much. I am very pleased with the care givers and how the home is run. They even have two dogs who visit on a regular basis. I would highly recommend this facility."

"Words cannot express our gratitude for all that you do, not only for mom, but for all your residents. I have had the opportunity over the years to see how other facilities, both large and small are run, and observe the caregivers that work there. I am sure I don’t have to tell you how rare it is to be totally satisfied! Your homes are immaculate, the caregivers are warm and caring and diligent in their care of each resident. The food is the best. (We should know, as mom tells us often enough!!!)"

—Robin, Donna, Cheryl and of course, Mom

"My wife and I would like to express to you our appreciation for your service to her during her recent stay at The Cottages. This was all a new experience for us and choosing a site for her was a challenge. To say we were pleased with you and all your staff would be an understatement. The attention to her needs was our top concern. During her stay there I never was worried about her and looked forward to my visits. I know diet was a big concern and she arrived home a different person than she had been on arrival."

“My mom has been at Desert Cottages for several years. She has Alzheimer’s. I am very happy that she is there. The care staff is excellent. Memory care is not easy. However, I find the caregivers and staff to be on top of all things, handling whatever arises, and treating these very special residents with great care and dignity. The food is good variety and quality. I feel my mom is safe, happy and always well put together. I highly recommend Desert Cottages for Memory Care for your loved one. This peace of mind is priceless!”

"I just wanted to thank the staff at Desert Cottages for making my husband's last days as comfortable as comfortable as possible. They loved him as their own and I could never repay them for their love and kindness. We became family, not just a client. It was the best decision I made for my husband."

—J. George

"The staff at Desert Cottages Memory Care is the best. I could not ask for better treatment than what what my husband Jim received. He was always treated with such kindness and respect. I would highly recommend Desert Cottages to any family or individual that is searching for an excellent memory care facility. My only regret was not finding them sooner. He was in several facilities until I found the one that he would spend the rest of his life in. I want to say thank you to Liz, Lisa and the wonderful staff for showing such compassion and understanding the Jim, myself and my family."

—N. McEwen

"The absolute best Memory Care Facility in the area. It is very clean. The staff is pleasant and caring towards residents and families. The management is responsive to the wants and needs of the residents and their family members. The best decision I made for my husband. Thank you for everything you do!"

—M.J. Sowell

"The caregivers here are wonderful. They are patient and they work well with vision impaired residents. The food is good. They make homemade soups and offer a variety of snacks during the day. They make sure everyone is dressed and at the table for all meals. The home is extremely clean and they even open the windows when the residents are not in their rooms. I liked that this feels like a home and I am comfortable with dad being there."
