Fit in just fine at Desmet!
reviewed on: 09/07/2016 by AnonymousEverything is going great since our loved ones move to Desmet Retirement Community. The move went very well and smoothly.

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.
not overly impressed
reviewed on: 11/10/2015 by AnonymousWe toured Desmet Retirement Community. It was fine but I was not overly impressed. We ended up going with a different facility.
Great place!
reviewed on: 11/05/2016 by Andrea H. GriffenHave been here one week, and love it at DeSmet: the food is good, and the staff is simply awesome!
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.
