Desert Villa Mobile Home Park sits at 1980 E Main St in Barstow, right in a peaceful desert setting where seniors can relax and take in the quiet. The community welcomes both independent seniors and those who need some help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, or taking medicine, so there's a mix of folks here. The park offers many choices for living, with detached homes, apartments in studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom layouts, condos, and even townhomes, so residents can pick what works best for them. Family pets like dogs and cats are allowed with some weight limits in place.
Among the unique things you'll find are a dedicated arts and crafts center, a woodworking shop, and even a butterfly and hummingbird garden that draws in nature. Residents can work in raised garden beds, spend time in the indoor atrium or enclosed courtyard, and enjoy patios with checkerboard tiles and safe walking paths. They can watch movies in the theater room, play billiards, spend time in the library or game rooms, or use the media center and TV lounge. The ballroom, fitness center, and outdoor pool give space for exercise and gatherings, while the Jacuzzi and beauty salon offer easy ways to relax or take care of grooming. There's also a general store on-site for small needs.
Dining here means a choice of private or main dining rooms, shared meals, or special menus for certain diets or for folks managing diabetes. Staff can help in many languages-everything from Spanish to American Sign Language to Russian and Japanese, which comes in handy for residents from different backgrounds. They offer laundry services, dry cleaning, in-room kitchens, memory care, assisted living, respite, and even hospice care when needed.
Transportation is provided for residents who need to get to doctor appointments, cultural events, the nearby restaurants-there are over two dozen not far off-and shopping or family visits. There's guest parking and a security gate helps keep things safe. The park sits close to several parks, pharmacies, hospitals, doctors, and places of worship, which means there's a lot nearby for those who want to get out and about. Desert Villa Mobile Home Park is open every day from 9 in the morning, and most people find it to be family-friendly with regular activities, a nice community atmosphere, and enough support for folks who want to live on their own for as long as possible. Reviews run about average, with a 3.5 rating out of 5 across more than 170 reviews, which gives a good idea of what to expect.
