Frequent and various activities are a highlight

Unfortunately they just don't have enough staff. The little details of patient care were not attended to. Some care staff were more mindful of the details than others. The food was mediocre. The rooms were clean and spacious. The activities were varied and frequent- this was the best part of Desert Peaks.

Talked with [name removed] ; she answered all my questions. It was very clean, and spacious; the residents seemed comfortable and relaxed; the environment seemed safe and secure; the resident will transition to memory care as needed but that area didn't seem as spacious It was very far from Las Cruces business district

A nice place for Memory Care

The staff is good, but there is a bit of a lack of communication. Security is good for keeping patients safe and not roaming around outside. The move in process was easy, and the facility was clean. I would recommend this facility to others.

Review for Desert Peaks Assisted Living & Memory Care

Everybody was friendly. The interaction with the staff has been good. They need to add more veggies to the meals. I picked this community, because it provided what my loved one what needed, and it was out in the country. I would recommend, that other famlies check it out.

An answer to prayer!

We have been very pleased with the care, kindness, friendliness and caring of the staff. Our brother has been in a couple of other assisted areas the last few months and it was not a good situation at all. The second place he was at by the second day he had none of the cloths we had taken him! Just the atmosphere there was depressing. Desert Peaks, from the moment we walked up to the entrance we felt welcomed and the other residents seem like they are HOME not just thrown away and forgotten. Thank you for always being available when we have questions and concerns. I definitely will spread the news of how much we appreciate Desert Peaks Assisted Living!!

Safe and Caring place for a loved one

I would recommend this community because I felt that this community was very homey and they allow a lot of independence for the residents and guest, they are very flexible. They had activities like social hours, crafts, bingo, movies and more for the residents to do. They also even let the family participate in the activities also when able to.

Respite care

I would recommend this community for your loved one. We are not there any longer due to some changes in respite care but this is still a great community for your loved one. The only things we used the community for was respite care. They did not meet our needs for long term care.

Desert Peaks Assisted Living & Memory Care

Desert Peaks is a small enough community where you won't become just another resident and get lost in the shuffle. The staff is helpful, friendly and caring. My husband's parents live there and they appreciate the attention and concern given for their health and well being. A variety of activities are provided both within and outside of the facility, and residents are encouraged to participate. My husband's parents like it there.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know New Mexico’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about New Mexico’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
