I have nothing but good things to say about Desoto Beach Club and its staff. We have had 2 family members as residents here. The staff has been so supportive and helpful with them as well as with us. They have wonderful daily activities and help residents feel comfortable and welcome. The food in their dinning area is always delicious and well made. I am so grateful for everything this community provides and love to visit often.
Lovely location. We toured after meeting with Angie and found the club to be beautiful and the staff so kind and helpful. Angie answered all of our questions and helped walk us through the process. Deena was also a blessing, as she came in on a weekend to help us with the lease and gave us important updates and information. We tried a lunch which was tasty. My partner is moving in and is very excited about the upcoming activities and opportunities to make new friends. I would highly recommend.
Love Everything about Desoto Beach Club. So happy to call this home.
I do recommend you consider this place when you are looking for a place for a loved one. It’s a clean place with people that take care of issues when or if they arise. Management has done a good job of confirming my mom’s comfortable and enjoying her stay.
Photos and brochures don't do the facility justice. You have to get people on site and meet the staff
