Desert Hills was the blessing in a hard situation. Making the choice to place my mother into a memory care facility was the hardest decision that I have ever had to make. But Desert Hills truly made the process easy and smooth. They helped me get through all the hoops of gathering documents from the doctor. Once my mom was there we saw and immediate improvement in her, she was socializing again, joining in and doing activities, visits started to go well again with family. The communication from the facility with myself has been amazing and made me feel so much more at ease with everything. I would recommend Desert Hills to anyone looking for a good memory care. Especially because it is only a memory care facility. Their staff has been wonderful and treat my mother like family.

Clean, private, secure, and health-conscious place.
The staff were very caring. At mealtimes, they were all hands on deck, which was vital when my loved one had a choking incident. They recognized it right away and were able to do the Heimlich maneuver. And they had her taken to the hospital afterward to make sure nothing was broken. I appreciated their conscientious regarding her care. It was also a very clean facility - I always saw people cleaning.

My father came to Desert Hills from another Memory Care community. He needed more care than they could provide. The staff at Desert Hills are truly wonderful. They are extremely knowledgeable about how to care for those with Dementia. I would highly recommend their memory care community to anyone looking for excellent care for their loved one.

Desert Mills Memory Care review
Our loved one seems to be happy here, he is enjoying the means and staff. We do really like all the staff members they are very friendly. They do have activities for the residents there but since he is on the memory care side the activities are like arts and crafts. Overall it is a good community but we have had some issues with some of our loved ones items go missing.

Thankful for the Education and Support Group
I have been personally working in the industry for 5+ years. I have been thankful that this community offers an education and connection group for families with loved ones who suffer with Alzheimer’s and dementia. I regularly refer my personal clients and families to this facility for the support group. Not only does it give them the opportunity to build relationships in the community and see there are other people with the same and or similar situation in their own home.

A community of compassion, empathy, love and knowledge
As a hospice provider in the Hemet area, we get to see hands first the compassionate care Desert Hills employees provide to our hospice patients and to their residents. It truly is comforting knowing our hospice patients are being taken care with such knowledge, compassion, empathy and love! Desert Hills Memory Care not only cares for their residents but the leaders care for their staff! The staff are always welcoming and always have smiles on their faces. And that’s exactly what the residents need; Happy people taking care of them. So thankful we have Desert Hills in the Hemet community to help serve the dementia/Alzheimer’s population!

A caring center in our family time of need
Our family has had a very tough year due to my wife's condition with Huntingdon disease. After visiting over 10 local care facilities, most would not take a person with HD under their care. Desert Hills memory care center was our last visit. After meeting the director and some of the staff, I knew that desert Hills would be the place I could trust for the care of my loving wife. Desert Hills has been a blessing in our time of need and all the staff have been so caring and loving to my wife. They have given our family a chance to heal and live again. I am thankful for the incredible staff and individuals who have one of the toughest jobs in caring for our loved ones now in their time of needs. [name removed] and her staff provide top care and attention to all the residents who make Desert Hills a home away from home.

There is very limited times that you are able to go visit your loved ones which is hard since I work. The price is expensive, but to me it is worth it.

Not what I expected
This community is based on a new model and it has very few structured activities. The residents are free to roam from room to room during the day to watch TV. If the individual can not entertain themselves they can become pretty bored. My mother just felt lost everyday. The rooms were not well kept and were old and worn out. I would not recommend this community unless your are comfortable with the lack of structure and need for independent activities.

Desert Hills Memory Facility
Desert Hills staff told my family that they specialized in handling difficult behaviors, which can often accompany dementia. My dad, after being at Desert Hills for five days and presenting difficult behaviors, was hospitalized for psychosis stabilization at their recommendation. We understood and supported this decision. The staff said they had done this with patients before (we had NO prior experience with this type of situation), but screwed up his placement by not working out key details AHEAD OF TIME. My dad ended up in a local, poorly run hospital for two weeks before he returned to Desert Hills. The professionalism of some lead staff members is seriously lacking. A few months after the hospitalization, my dad was within a few days of passing and the Activities Director kept pushing a service on us that we (politely) declined. The Executive Director minimalized our concerns and brushed us off several times. Not the professionalism you would expect from a facility that prides themselves on being Alz Foundation approved. On the flip side, the caregivers, housekeepers, and nurses were amazing to my dad and to us, but like a previous reviewer said, there aren't enough of them to bathe, toilet, feed, clean, and keep the residents stimulated appropriately. At $4,500 + per month, the residents deserve more and I urge management to make a change.
