    Warm staff, but problems observed

    I had a mixed experience at Desert View. Many staff were warm, caring and attentive - they made my mom feel at home, offered good rehab/therapy, plenty of activities, rides and outings, and the facility was clean and inviting. However, I also witnessed favoritism, delayed call-light responses, poor/uneven food, low staff morale and ignored grievances, so I recommend Desert View with reservations.

    About Desert View Care Center

    Desert View Care Center sits on 820 Sprague Ave and is a nursing home that offers both short-term rehab and long-term care, and you'll find a real range of services to cover physical, medical, and daily needs. People here get help with things like speech therapy, physical and occupational therapy, wound care, IV therapy, cardiac care, diabetes management, and even nutrition counseling, and staff handle medication management and chronic illnesses like CHF and COPD, so there's a full team that includes nurses, doctors, social workers, and therapists, all helping round-the-clock. The center has private and semi-private rooms with some set aside for therapy recovery, and it serves meals to residents, keeping nutrition in mind, and there are social events and activities to keep residents busy and help them connect. Desert View's earned respect for keeping its residents protected from pressure ulcers and having a high rate of pneumonia vaccinations, which sits at 99.34%, and it's got a record for very low hospitalizations-fewer than one per thousand long-term resident days-which shows good care management, and nursing care averages 0.3 hours per resident each day. Inspection history has one deficiency, though it didn't put resident safety at risk, and the facility gets a B overall, with a B+ in inspections and a B in nurse quality. It offers skilled nursing, caregiving, home healthcare, hospice, respite care, and help with recovery from surgeries like hip or knee replacements. Family and resident councils give folks a say in daily life, and the atmosphere aims for a home-like feel with kind staff who do their best to support everyone's day-to-day and longer-term needs. Desert View accepts Medicaid-Pending status and works with insurance, and reviews score it a perfect 5.0 across six given. That's the gist of what folks can expect at Desert View Care Center, where services focus on health, recovery, and daily care in a straightforward, comfortable setting.
