    Warm staff active community comfortable

    I moved into Desert Winds recently and, overall, I'm very pleased - the staff are caring and professional, my apartment is spacious and comfortable, the grounds and amenities (pool, salon, fitness, library) are well kept, the dining is generally excellent, and the social calendar (bingo, outings, music, parties) keeps me busy and happy. A few drawbacks to note: occasional front-desk rudeness, some reports of kitchen/cleanliness and staffing issues, and higher cost/less central location - but for me the warm staff and active community make it feel like home.
