Caring for our Residents with Love & Compassion. Desert Horizon Residential Care provides the support that retirees and their families require, including Nutritional focus, customized meals, and personalized assisted living services.
Family caring for family.
In December of 2023 we had to make the hard decision to move my mom to a Residential Care Facility. She was at the point that she needed 24 hour care.
We visited several care facilities. The owner of Desert Horizon, Angela was the only one that called us back and spent the time answering any and all of our questions. So we moved mom into Desert Horizon Residential Care Facility.
The best decision we ever made.
Angela (the owner) is always available to anwer questions or just let you know what’s going on with your loved one. All the caregivers are fantastic. I never had a complaint of the care my mom received. They were all caring, loving and so helpful to my mom’s needs.
My mom passed into the arms of Jesus in January 2025.
If anyone is looking for a place for a loved one that needs 24 hour care I would highly recommend Desert Horizon Residential Care Facility. They take great care of all the residents and the house is always very clean and well taken care of.
God Bless

A Troubling Experience at Desert Horizons Care Facility
My recent encounter with Desert Horizons Care Facility left me deeply concerned for the well-being of residents. As someone with a loved one that resided there, I feel compelled to share my observations.
• Neglected Property:
• Exterior: A drive-by reveals dead landscaping surrounding the property, creating an unwelcoming first impression.
• Interior: The deterioration inside is evident, and the facility appears understaffed.
• Contradictory Practices:
• The owner/manager doesn’t clean the home, garbage is stored alongside food in a kitchen cabinet—unsanitary and unsafe.
• My mother, at the time, under the care of her daughter with power of attorney (POA), was placed here. However, her well-being seems compromised.
• Medication Error:
• On January 23, 2023, during a Facetime call, a caregiver mistakenly administered another resident’s medication to my mother.
• Since then, the owner tried to deny me of visitation rights, I had to call the police several times just to gain access to see my mother, leaving me concerned about transparency and accountability.
• Animal Breeding and Safety Hazards:
• The facility is inexplicably being used to breed dogs, which raises questions about priorities.
• Subpar Conditions and Fat-Shaming:
• The quality of food provided falls below average standards.
• When my mother expresses hunger, she faces fat-shaming from the owner/manager and staff.
• Advertised activities are nowhere to be found.
• Unprofessional Behavior:
• The head caregiver brings her elderly husband to work, further compromising care quality.
• The situation is disheartening, especially considering the responsibility of caring for 4-6 residents.
Conclusion: Let’s advocate for better care and hold those responsible accountable.
Desert Horizons Care Facility should be avoided.
My mother-in-law resided here, unfortunately. Her daughter sought out the most affordable place for her to live. In my view, Desert Horizons does not meet the standards of a professional care facility. During my visits, I observed that the owner and her daughter manage an understaffed facility while also breeding dogs on the premises.
The conditions were distressing: dog waste in the halls, right in front of the elderly residents’ bedroom doors. On one occasion, the owner interrupted a conversation I was having during my visit. She proceeded to discuss “other options” besides living in a care facility. Shockingly, she expressed that she would prefer assistance with suicide rather than living in such a manner. It’s essential to note that I was visiting my mother-in-law, who is on hospice care. I firmly told the owner that this conversation was inappropriate and that she should leave.
Key Concerns:
Lack of 24-Hour Care: Residents call out for help at night, but nobody responds.
Misleading Information: The website claims a staffed nutritionist, but in reality, caregivers prepare and cook the food. The quality of the food is far from what’s advertised.
Unsanitary Conditions: The kitchen is in a deplorable state, with an unclean floor and a lack of proper hygiene. It urgently needs inspection.
False Activities Listing: Despite promises of spa days, family nights, and crafts, all residents remain confined to their rooms, resulting in a depressing atmosphere.
Thankfully, my mother-in-law was able to escape this distressing situation and find a better place. 🙏
