Our residents with Alzheimer’s receive enhanced care through Dementia Live, our high-impact training immersing employees into the world of dementia. This tool affects hearing, vision, and even how you feel. This powerful experience allows employees to better understand our residents’ daily experiences and enhances the level of care they’re able to provide.
At Desert Sage Memory Care, we provide a welcoming, secure, and vibrant community for seniors living with dementia or other memory impairments. Discover our range of amenities, activities, and services.

Meet our new Director of Life Enrichment, Marquita! We are thrilled to bring on such an incredible and passionate individual to our team. Here is what she had to say!
"I am truly excited to be a part of Desert Sage. This opportunity means so much to me — to connect with our residents closely, honor their stories, and walk alongside them in this chapter of life. I believe memory care is sacred work, and I am committed to creating meaningful moments that enrich their daily experience.
My vision for our memory care community is to cultivate an uplifting, secure, and engaging environment where residents feel seen, valued, and encouraged. Through purposeful sensory-focused activities, music, movement, and life-enrichment experiences, my goal is to strengthen cognitive engagement, spark joy, and create moments of connection that bring comfort and familiarity.
I am passionate about establishing a warm atmosphere where residents look forward to each day, where they can move, engage, express themselves, and experience life through dignity, compassion, and celebration. I am committed to fostering emotional well-being, building community, and supporting our residents in living life at the highest level possible — with joy, purpose, and peace." ... See MoreSee Less
