I recently put my wife into memory care here. The staff is warm and caring, and the transition was done as smoothly as possible. The food is well prepared, and there are activities to keep her busy. I am very confident that she will be calm and happy here.

Loving care with home cooked meals. The owner is totally involved and answers his own messages promptly. The care givers are all nice as well

We have been blessed to have found this place for our Mom! If we had to choose all over again.....the choice would remain the same..Desert Gardens

The staff at Desert Gardens take great care of my father. I can’t say enough wonderful things about the caregivers and management. They celebrate the resident’s birthdays and holidays as well as making sure daily needs are met. They are compassionate, communicate concerns and always welcome family involvement. The facility is kept clean and has plenty of different sitting/activity areas. Would highly recommend this care home!

We really appreciate the caring and responsive staff at Desert Gardens. Their open door policy makes our big family feel welcome to visit our mom any time.

This place is located in a beautiful place. The caregivers are kind and patient . Would recommend this assisted living for your family. I visit this place monthly and every time I’ve been there it has always been a great experience

Facing a terribly stressful decision to place one’s loved one in assisted living is made almost painless by the wonderful staff at Desert Gardens. I had researched and toured several places. After one such tour I sat in my car and cried. The alternatives out there range from just ok to downright depressing. Until I toured Desert Gardens. Bright, warm, welcoming, I knew right away this was the place. Chaz and Ro answered every question I had. Called, emailed, texted numerous times when something else would pop up. Then The Day arrived and my mom was very happy. I can’t thank them enough for helping my family transition to this next phase of my mom’s life with such compassion. Update: it’s now been 3 years and I’m still so thankful I found Desert Gardens. The staff is wonderful, have been through it all with COVID lockdowns etc. and have never lost a step. They are infinitely patient as dementia takes its toll and my mom has become increasingly temperamental. I could not do this without them.

I have been consistently visiting Desert Gardens for over a year as an exercise trainer with Tucson Corrective Exercise. Whether I am leading a group workout class or meeting an individual resident for an appointment, the attentive staff always goes above and beyond to make sure we have everything we need. Every resident I've met at Desert Gardens are happy, well cared for, and often participating in the fun activities offered at the home. The manager Tiffany's exceptional care and respect for her residents and anyone who comes through the door, makes this home one I enjoy visiting anytime.
