Desert House Assisted Living operates as a residential care home designed to manage a broad spectrum of medical needs. Residents with wandering tendencies, elopement risk, behavioral concerns, or advanced dementia can be admitted, and staff are prepared for daytime or nighttime wandering, combative episodes, or around-the-clock wakefulness. Clinical oversight extends to wound care, oxygen therapy, specialized diets, and diabetic management for oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. The residence also accepts adults under 60 and individuals with psychiatric conditions, allowing families to place loved ones with complex behavioral or mental-health profiles.
Daily support is backed by a 24-hour nurse on call, background-checked staff, and full staffing presence throughout the night—both awake and asleep shifts. The property is secured with fencing, alarmed doors, and personal emergency response systems that alert staff immediately. Caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they handle transfers ranging from walker supervision to two-person or Hoyer-lift moves for bed-bound residents.
Private and semi-private suites are available, some with in-room bathrooms, furnishings, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry are provided. Because room layouts vary, not every accommodation includes every feature, so families are encouraged to confirm specific amenities when touring.
Meals follow a set menu with an option to order alternatives at each sitting, and snacks are accessible throughout the day. The kitchen can accommodate mechanical-chopped, puréed, thickened-liquid, gluten-free, vegetarian, and other physician-ordered modifications. In-room dining is available for residents who need or prefer it, and staff monitor diet management to align with each care plan.
Residents have access to wheelchair-friendly common areas, internet connectivity, communal gardens, on-site religious services, scheduled transportation, and limited on-site parking. Smoking is allowed in designated outdoor areas.
