My Aunt was in this place and my mom, her sister, was sending her a card every two weeks. Suddenly she had one returned to her and called her sister's daughter to find out if she had passed away. She hadn't. Her daughter moved her for that and other reasons. Today my mom got 20 of the cards returned in the mail from the facility that she had written going back several years and had never even been opened. Very sad all the way around.

As a brief introduction, I am a student researcher from Arizona State University investigating methods of glycemic control for older adults with Type 2 diabetes. Although I have not personally lived at Desert Winds, I have had the pleasure of working with the staff and residents from Desert Winds for the past two months. Dennis Thrush, the Executive Director of this community, has been extremely friendly and accommodating. The way he interacts with residents and makes them feel heard is truly a joy to witness. My research has brought me to many assisted living and independent living communities throughout Sun City and Peoria. Out of all the places I have been to, I can honestly say that this community has the friendliest residents and staff, and the most welcoming, community-oriented environment. My colleague and I will always be grateful to the residents and staff of this community. To anyone looking to join an assisted living community, I highly recommend checking out Desert Winds. Cheers!

My mom has been at Desert Winds Independent living for 18 months and it has been a terrific experience for her. The property is immaculate, the employees responsive, and her needs are met each day. Thank you, such a blessing for her and our family!

My mom was in Desert Winds for only three days when they wanted to move her to Memory Care unit. They didn’t give mom enough time to adjust to the place. We had to move her to memory care or to another facility. The facility looked very nice and the caregivers seemed nice when we were there. Mom is doing much better now that we got her out of Desert Winds Assisted living center and into The Gardens of Sun City assisted living center. She didn’t like Desert Winds; she said it was a bad place, that she was scared there. When we picked her up to move her to The Gardens, Thursday morning at 9:30, she was so medicated that we couldn’t wake her and keep her awake. A caregiver helped dress her and put her in a wheelchair. Movers came at 10:00 to move Mom’s things. The nurse at the Gardens called 911 and an ambulance took her to the hospital. They put in an IV and admitted her for 24 hour observation. She was out of it all day long, and doesn’t remember the day at all. Also the night she was drugged she lost her permanent lower front teeth bridge. We didn’t realize this until Friday morning at the hospital when Mom said she wished she knew where her teeth went. We found her teeth in the nightstand by her bed. We wonder how she lost her permanent bridge. This wasn’t reported to us. I am so glad we got her out of that place.

I moved my Father Frank into Desert Winds nearly a year ago, the entire staff goes out of their way to make sure my Father feels at home. Debora the Director along with Gerry and Kathy have been a blessing to my Father who is suffering from Parkinson's. I live not too far away so I'm stopping by from time to time for visits and his smile lets me know he is where he should be.
