Desert Hope Elderly Care sits in Rancho Mirage, California, and operates as a small residential care facility for seniors, where the licensed capacity is mostly six beds but some of the units can go up to as many as 135 or 145 beds, but there's also a license listed for just six beds, so it does have both small and larger settings, and it's been open since October 18, 2022. This community is run by Denise Flores and owned by DESERT HOPE ELDERLY CARE LLC. The facility sits along the full continuum of care, so residents can begin with independent living if they're more able, and as their needs grow, they can move into assisted living, memory care, or even skilled nursing and hospice, so they don't have to move to another place if they get sicker or need more help, and the staff offers help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, eating, medication, and those other basic things folks need when they're older or not able to manage them so well by themselves anymore.
The building and grounds have both indoor and outdoor communal spaces including dining areas, gardens, patios, walking paths, and spots to sit outside when the weather's nice, so residents can get some sun or fresh air, or just watch the birds for a while. Memory care is available in special wings or small communities with added measures to prevent wandering and reduce anxiety for folks with dementia or Alzheimer's, and there's 24-hour supervision for safety. Desert Hope Elderly Care gives group meals, some organized activities, and handles housekeeping, and the small community setup helps the staff give personalized attention, which means residents might get to know who's caring for them a little better. The facility's equipped to deal with folks who need enhanced behavioral supports, and there's a focus on serving adults with healthcare needs.
Desert Hope Elderly Care is currently licensed with the California Department of Social Services, and the business has had one official visit but hasn't had any complaint or inspection visits reported so far, and it isn't BBB accredited. Residents will find private bathrooms with accessible features and indoor areas where they can visit with friends or family members, as well as outdoor spaces and shades to relax in. Meals, personal care, medication reminders, support with transfers, and housekeeping are part of the daily routine here, along with some social and recreational activities, all wrapped up in a simple, neighborhood-like setting, which can sometimes help folks feel at home, even as their need for care increases.
