Desert Haven Care Center

Now that I have transitioned to a superior facility, my clarity of mind has returned. I feel compelled to issue a formal warning: Desert Haven Scare Center is, without contest, the most grievous establishment I have encountered since becoming disabled. While a select group of staff members perform their duties with grace, the leadership and general standards are utterly beneath contempt. Grievances of the Realm The Oak Unit Leadership: The Head Nurse is a habitual fabricator of the truth, and the Director of Nursing (D.O.N.) is utterly ineffectual, blindly endorsing every falsehood. To suggest they are unfit for their stations is a drastic understatement. The Loss of Property: Upon my arrival, I was commanded to inventory my wardrobe. When the laundry department inevitably lost my garments, I was only reimbursed for three items. It became clear the staff had lied about the inventory process entirely. Security & Neglect: My belongings remained secure only because I maintained a personal security camera. Furthermore, my "call light" was treated as a mere suggestion. They justified their negligence by claiming I could walk, and they weaponized my slurred speech against me. Profiling & Prejudice: At 6'4" and nearly 300 pounds, I was profiled relentlessly. The indignities I suffered were so numerous I have lost count. Atmosphere of Distrust: I refused to entrust them with my financial data and provided false information regarding my kin to protect them from this toxic environment. I kept the administration in a state of confusion as a defensive measure. A Failure of Care I endured this "asylum" solely for the mental health program and to avoid delaying my Social Security benefits. However, the treatment I received was insane. Whenever the environment provoked an outburst, the administration engaged in gaslighting to cast me as the villain. I witnessed the Head Nurse and D.O.N. literally huddling to concoct manipulations to cover their failures. I was there to heal, not to accumulate new trauma. The state of the facility is appalling: The State inspectors are nowhere to be found. Pest control is a fantasy. They lack even basic cable, offering only subpar digital television. The Roll of Honor Despite the darkness of this institution, there are Extraordinary Souls who deserve recognition. This review is a condemnation of the establishment, not these noble individuals. If your name is not on this list, it is my firm belief that you have no business in the medical field. I salute the following: Debbie, Sabrina, Jessie, Karly, Jonathan, Richard, T-Jay, James, Selena, Karin, Denise, both Mexican and African American Claudia, Phyllis , Terri,Brittany, Angela, Brandy, Sarah, Chuck, Kefe, Suzan, Cheryl, Jordan, Wellington, Erika, Rikary, Naomi, Perla, Sujey, Wilson, Lupe, Lori, Justin, Dawn, Awa, Joy, Jane, David, Gabbie, Maria, Paz, Romelia, Letty, Gift, Teresa, Odette, Sonnie, Awal, Franca, Mary, Evelyn, Craig, Alexa, both Seannas and their Mother, Norma, Bob, Lacy, Ralph, Cesar, and the entire Kitchen Staff. Unless this facility is placed under new sovereignty, it should be shuttered immediately. (🎤 The Mic has been dropped🎤).!!!
