DESERT JOY ASSISTED LIVING

I have worked in long term care, sub acute, specialty hospitals and assisted living facilities for over 40 years. I’ve worked with for profit, not for profit , large chain and small chain care companies in six different states. When my Mom needed extra ended care, we looked at other facilities in the Peoria, Az area, but Mom wanted to go to Desert Joys. She had a friend that had her husband there and she already knew the Desert Joys family. We listened to her. We didn’t expect her to be there long, she was on hospice and her condition was serious. Monica, Cornell, and their family were there for her and for us. Mom’s care was the best. And even though we couldn’t always be there, she found another family that was there for her. Because of the great care she received she was with us much longer than anyone ever thought. Mom never had a complaint about her care or her decision to move to Desert Joys. It’s not a facility, it’s home. The caregivers are not just staff, they are family. I can’t thank them enough and I can’t recommend them highly enough. Thank you and God Bless, Dennis Sever

My Father, Felix Maccagnano was a patient at Desert Joy for a little over a year. Upon my visit from Chicago last July, I was amazed to see the care he and all of the patients received from Monica and her staff. Each patient, including my Dad, was treated as if they are part of a family. My father was able to move about freely, ate nutritious meals, clean and shaven. If medical care was required, Desert Joy jumped on it immediately. I also appreciated the freedom the patients were given. Each day I would inform Monica or one of her staff members, the time I would pick up my Dad and return him to the home. They were very understanding since I did not reside in Az. Monica always would remind me, if I could not not get hold of my father by phone, call her phone. I recommend Desert Joy 5 stars.

We are working on getting into this assisted living facility and Monica is more than bending over backwards to help us with logistics. I'm already thrilled with Monica and her team. Thank YOU Monica Barb

I had to find a place for my mom to be taken care of about 4 yrs ago and found Desert Joy! Desert Joy is run by a wonder lady, Monica Rus, and she took the best care of my mom till she passed away in July 2019. It is a wonderful place filled with kindness and love. I would be happy to live there my self when needed! If you need a place for any one to be taken care of with great tender loving care check them out! great home and the family helps with the care.
