Community Reviews
Needs some updating!
reviewed on: 09/07/2016 by AnonymousThe staff that offered the tour at Desmet Retirement Community were very friendly. They were very courteous and knowledgeable. They were able to address all of our concerns. The community was pretty basic for the price and compared to other communities in the area. The community seemed to be nicely cleaned. The community would benefit from a good update throughout.

I'm pleased with the care my brother is getting
reviewed on: 01/09/2018 by AnonymousMy brother lives here and, so far, we’ve both been very happy. The most important thing, to me, is that he’s getting his medications, physical therapy, and 3 meals a day. I think he’s being taken care of very well. The food is pretty good and there are a few different options to choose from. They provide all kinds of activities like movies, shopping trips, and they’ll take the residents out to eat. Everything looks very clean in the common areas and housekeeping cleans his room once a week. I recommend this place.
Perfect
reviewed on: 01/11/2014 by AnonymousDesmet was the perfect community for mom. The residents are nice and welcoming and staff is accomodating. The nice thing is that if mom needs more care, they have an assisted side that can help with meds and other needs. Mom is the happiest she has been in awhile and I know it's because she feels safe and is looked after.
My mom is happy
