    Review

    Deer Creek Assisted Living is described by one family member as having a very nice and caring staff who do their best to attend to the needs of the residents despite being understaffed. However, there are some concerns raised about the quality and taste of the food provided, with many meals not being considered nutritious. The family member also reports incidents of theft, including valuables being stolen from loved ones and cash being taken from residents.

    In contrast, another reviewer had a positive experience during their tour of Deer Creek Assisted Living. They found the facility to be clean and inviting, with peaceful and happy residents. The staff they encountered were friendly and wonderful. The reviewer observed individual apartments with assistance available. Their overall impression was that it was a pleasant and clean environment.

    There is another facility called Brookdale DeSoto mentioned in the reviews. One visitor found it to be a great place for more active seniors, although they felt it would be overwhelming for their brother who required more assistance. This person praised the warm and dedicated staff, cleanliness of the facility, and efforts made to create social opportunities for residents.

    Another reviewer at Brookdale DeSoto expresses satisfaction with the care their sister receives there. They mention the efforts made by staff to engage residents in activities and create a sense of community. The smaller size of the facility allows for more personalized attention to residents.

    However, there are also mentions of issues at both Deer Creek Assisted Living and Brookdale DeSoto that need improvement such as inconsistent food quality or experienced staff turnover leading to transitional challenges in providing care.

    Some positive experiences are shared alongside criticisms regarding cleanliness, staffing levels, administrative decisions concerning budgeting over resident care issues, lack of activities or puzzle areas at one facility or kitchen area size limitations in another.

    Despite some negative feedback regarding expense or inexperienced caregivers at these facilities, others appreciated the caring staff and availability of numerous activities aimed at keeping seniors engaged while residing in clean and pleasant environments.

    In conclusion, the reviews highlight both positive and negative aspects of Deer Creek Assisted Living and Brookdale DeSoto. While some reviewers praise the caring staff, cleanliness, and pleasant environment, others express concerns about food quality, theft incidents, or issues related to staffing levels and care consistency. It is important for individuals researching senior living options to carefully consider these factors before making a decision.
