Desert Springs Gracious Retirement Living Description
The moment you set foot on the campus of Desert Springs, you know you’ve found a special place for active, independent senior living in Oro Valley, Arizona. The spotless grounds, attractive architecture, and tastefully decorated interior signal the good times ahead for retirees who choose to live here. With a front-row seat to the beautiful, mountainous, Sonoran desert landscape, residents know they’re just minutes from any outdoor activity they like — walking, hiking, bicycling and more.

Your own private casita or spacious apartment offer a personal sanctuary to rest, recharge and prepare for another day of social activities. On-site senior care and rehabilitation therapies are available as well.
