Mcnulty Villa

The reviews present mixed experiences of two assisted-living communities: Desert Cove Assisted Living and Mountain View Manor. Desert Cove receives both serious criticism and strong praise. One family reported that the facility was not supportive after the resident’s father was verbally harassed by other residents seeking cigarettes or money. They also expressed concern about the presence of psychiatric residents and limited alternatives because of the facility’s smoking policy and location. Another reviewer found Desert Cove rundown and unsuitable, although they praised the quality of the tour. In contrast, several families highly recommended Desert Cove, particularly for dementia and memory care. Reviewers described the staff and management as kind, compassionate, responsible, patient, and attentive. Families said caregivers went beyond basic assisted living, provided hospice support, and helped residents remain comfortable and safe. Specific staff members, including Heather, Nancy, Erica, Cindy, Gilbert, Hero, and Heidi, were commended. One family expressed gratitude for the care their mother received until her death, calling the facility a “true Godsend.” Mountain View Manor was generally reviewed positively. Visitors praised its cleanliness, attractive modern architecture, mountain views, welcoming décor, comfortable rooms, and accommodating staff. One reviewer particularly appreciated the high-quality food, fresh vegetables, healthy entrées, and appealing snacks, comparing the facility to a spa or upscale hotel. Other visitors felt the staff were caring and that residents appeared happy and well supported. A former family member described Mountain View Manor’s grounds as pleasant and said the caregivers treated their grandmother kindly. However, they found the owners somewhat pushy and opinionated, and believed the courtyard pool was unused. Overall, Mountain View Manor earned favorable impressions, while Desert Cove was viewed as providing excellent personal care despite concerns about condition, management responsiveness, and resident mix.
