About Carefree Assisted Living

Thank you for your interest in Carefree Assisted Living. Selecting an assisted living home for a loved one can be an emotional journey that brings families face to face with the difficult challenges faced by our loved ones as they enter their sunset years. At Carefree Assisted Living we understand these challenges and are focused on making the transition to assisted living as smooth as possible for not only our residents but the whole family. Carefree Assisted Living is an independently owned assisted living home located in Desert Hills. We offer private rooms for all 10 residents. This boutique size allows us to foster a warm home-like environment where we tailor personal services and experiences for our residents. This creates not only a higher satisfaction of life but also a sense of purpose. We do this because we believe that true happiness comes from making others happy. Our close-knit team of well-qualified caregivers are here to make life comfortable and superbly supported for our residents. Carefree Assisted Living has developed trusted partnerships with many local mobile medical service providers, including nurse practitioners, pharmacies, labs, mobile x-rays, podiatrists, and hospices services. Our residents are always well supported by our qualified medical partners in the comfort of our home. We gladly welcome all inquiries regarding our facility, our caregiver “family” and our services. We would also warmly invite you to schedule a private tour of our home and see if Carefree Assisted Living is the ideal environment for your loved one and your family.

Critical

occupant beware of lack of care

It wasn't until after [name removed] had been there a while that they were not providing the care they promised to provide. [name removed] lost a lot of weight hadn't eaten in 4 days and no one said anything, the food was terrible no at all as advertised, there were no exercises. [name removed] lost use of his legs and a lot of his arms. For the money my Vet would have done a better job. We had just made arrangements for [name removed] to move to another facility that they just let him go to hell in a hand basket.

Review for Carefree Assisted Living

I would say it's a great facility to work with. They take care of you and even exceed expectations. Carefree assisted living was a great experience for my family and I. They really made us feel like family was taking care of my mom.

Carefree Assisted Living

My 100 year old mother in law was placed on hospice right after Thanksgiving. She had been living with us up until then. She needed 24/7 care that I wasn't able to provide. We found this home thru A Place for Mom" and moved her there at the end of December. Although she only lived another two weeks, the care she received was nothing short of amazing. The whole staff [names removed] and all the caregivers were all very caring individuals. Even the hospice nurse who I am sure had seen her share of care facilities, t

A wonderful option when the time comes.

We've been very happy with carefree assisted living so far. The staff is extremely friendly and kind and helpful. The house is always extremely clean. The staff is supportive and responsive to needs. We're very grateful to have used A Place For Mom to find this next stage of care for our loved one.

Review for Carefree Assisted Living

My mother suffered from Frontotemporal Dementia, behavioral variant. This nursing home can deal with dementia, but not the behavioral variant. So no, it didn't work out, but that doesn't mean they didn't do a good job with what they do. My mother just wasn't a good fit
