About Desert Cove

Our resort style campus is the only assisted living community of its kind in the Coachella Valley. The campus allows for outside activities including walking and is intimate enough to allow staff to hear your loved ones as they enjoy the grounds. Each resident is provided an emergency assistance pendant which is GPS activated throughout the community and can alert the care team when pushed for assistance. Our community is comfortable and cozy with several activity areas including a beautiful dining room with a stunning panoramic view of the Coachella Valley, activity room, beauty salon, massages and Namaste program. Our community has 28 spacious apartments with kitchenettes as well as private bathrooms and can accommodate both private and shared living. Each apartment has a patio to enjoy the gorgeous San Jacinto mountain sunsets.

​

Desert Cove encourages all residents to engage in meaningful purpose filled lives through extensive activity programming, exercise through the Silver Sneakers Program and use of our Namaste Program with an emphasis on Validation Therapy to decrease the use of unnecessary pharmaceutical interventions in our residents. For additional details on these programs please visit our activities tab.
