My father decided it was time to begin visiting senior living apartments that had services, because of his instability and falling. We ventured out and visited 6 complexes and Las Palomas Senior Living was the one he picked, without question. He felt safe with their service options that are included in the rent. The comfort of the entire building complimented his full service apartment. Most important to him, was his ability to remain independent, with a variety of services included or optional. The staff is outstanding and was very accommodating in helping him make the transition. My wife and I would not hesitate to move into Las Palomas ourselves!

Read moreWe had a great tour experience with Desert Winds. It looked like a very good place to have a loved one. The downfall for us was it is a smaller place. I felt that they did not have the sufficient staff to care for my loved ones condition and needs.
